Notice. AGENCY: ACTION: As authorized by the Blackwell School National Historic Site Act, the National Park Service announces that the Secretary of the Interior has established, in the State of Texas, the Blackwell School National Historic Site as a unit of the National Park System. ADDRESSES: A color version and more detailed area maps depicting the boundary are available online at https:// www.nps.gov/blsc/planyourvisit/ maps.htm. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lance Hatten, Deputy Regional Director, National Park Service, Intermountain Region at 303–969–2500. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 17, 2022, President Biden ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:47 Jul 22, 2024 Jkt 262001 signed into law the Blackwell School National Historic Site Act (Pub. L. 117– 206), designating the Blackwell School in Marfa, Texas, as a unit of the National Park System. The Blackwell School was a segregated school constructed in Marfa, Texas in 1909. The school was the sole public education institution for hundreds of Marfa’s Mexican-American children until its closure in 1965 following the integration of the Marfa Independent School District (ISD). Blackwell School serves as a tangible reminder of the period during which the doctrine of ‘‘separate but equal’’ dominated education and social systems, and that de facto segregation of Mexican-American children was perpetuated in Texas school districts through the mid-twentieth century. The statute provides that Blackwell School National Historic Site shall be established as a unit of the National Park System once the Secretary determines that a sufficient quantity of land, or interests in land, has been acquired to constitute a manageable park unit. The National Park Service has acquired all 0.77 acres within the proposed historic site boundary, encompassing the core area of Blackwell School. On July 17, 2024, the Secretary of the Interior signed a Decision Memorandum determining that the Marfa Independent School District has entered into a donation agreement with the National Park Service and that a sufficient quantity of land, or interests in land, has been acquired to constitute a manageable park unit. With the signing of this Decision Memorandum by the Secretary and the publication of this notice in the Federal Register, Blackwell School National Historic Site is established. Charles F.

AGENCY: PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 ACTION: 59771 Notice of availability. The USIBWC hereby gives notice that the Final Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for Management of Federal Grazing Leases at the Falcon Dam and Reservoir, Starr and Zapata Counties, Texas is available. ADDRESSES: The electronic version of the Final EA and FONSI is available at the USIBWC web page: https:// www.ibwc.gov/reports-studies/. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark Howe, Cultural Resources Specialist, USIBWC, El Paso, Texas 79902. Telephone: (915) 832–4767, email: Mark.Howe@ibwc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USIBWC is updating or eliminating active and inactive grazing leases in use for commercial, residential, or recreational purposes on federal land in the Falcon Project (i.e., Falcon Dam and Reservoir). Rights-of-way for the Falcon Project totaled 63,192 acres on the U.S. side of the Falcon Project as of 2000. This project will assist USIBWC in determining if grazing leases should be allowed or discontinued and/or whether land management alternatives should be established in lieu of grazing. The grazing lease program has continued for areas along the Falcon Reservoir that were originally ranches and farms before the land was acquired by the Federal Government pursuant to the Water Treaty of 1944 between the U.S. and Mexico, with construction of the Falcon Project completed on October 19, 1953. The grazing lease program assured those areas not under water or flooded and owned by the Federal Government would be economically used as they were in the past by the local community. Initially leases allowed for agricultural uses in addition to grazing, but agricultural activities and any clearing of leased lands were later restricted to reduce potential impacts on cultural resources in accordance with National Historic Preservation Act requirements. Active leases currently only allow grazing activities. Grazing leases, licenses, and permits consist of any written permit or other legal document for an individual, corporation, etc., to use and improve land owned by the U.S. Government under the jurisdiction of the USIBWC at Falcon Reservoir. In the past, 22,270.57 acres of land were under 159 active grazing leases originally issued in 1956. As of 2020, there were 117 active grazing leases with many that are still held by the descendants of the original permittees and/or stakeholders. SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\23JYN1.SGM 23JYN1
