geothermal leasing laws or disposal
under the Mineral Materials Act of
1947, for a period of 50 years.

The areas described aggregate 1957.89
acres, according to the official plats of the
surveys of the said lands, on file with the
BLM.
The Secretary of the Interior has
approved the petition to file a
withdrawal application. The Secretary’s
approval constitutes a proposal to
withdraw and segregate the subject
lands (43 CFR 2310.1–3(e)).
The use of a right-of-way, interagency
agreement, or cooperative agreement, or
surface management under 43 CFR
subpart 3809 regulations, would not
adequately constrain non-discretionary
uses and would not provide adequate
protection for rare plants and fossils on
these lands.

Water rights will not be needed to
fulfill the purpose of the proposed
withdrawal.
There are no suitable alternative sites,
as the described public lands were
specifically selected since the rare
plants and fossils needing protection
occur within the Mud Flat Oolite Site
boundary.
For a period until November 4, 2024,
persons who wish to submit comments,
suggestions, or objections related to the
withdrawal application may present
their views in writing to the BLM Idaho
State Office at the address listed above
or by email to BLM_ID_LLID933000_
Withdrawal@blm.gov.
Comments will be available for public
review by appointment at the BLM
Idaho State Office Public Room from
9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through
Friday, except Federal holidays.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
You may ask the BLM in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, but we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so. All submissions from
organizations or businesses, and from
individuals identifying themselves as
representatives of officials of
organizations or businesses, will be
made available for public inspection in
their entirety.
Notice is hereby given that the
opportunity for a public meeting is
afforded in connection with the
withdrawal application. All interested
parties who desire a public meeting for
the purpose of being heard on the
withdrawal application must submit a
written request to the BLM Idaho State
Office at the address indicated above or
by email to BLM_ID_LLID933000_
Withdrawal@blm.gov by November 4,
2024. If the authorized officer
determines that the BLM will hold a
public meeting, the BLM will publish a
notice of the time and place in the
Federal Register and a local newspaper
at least 30 days before the scheduled
date of the meeting.
For a period until August 6, 2026,
subject to valid existing rights, the
public lands described in this notice
will be segregated from location and
entry under the United States mining
laws, but not from leasing under the
mineral and geothermal leasing laws, or
disposal under the Mineral Materials
Act of 1947, while the withdrawal
application is being processed, unless
the application is denied or canceled or

The public lands described in this
notice will remain open to such other
forms of disposition as may be allowed
by law on the public lands. Licenses,
permits, cooperative agreements, or
discretionary land use authorizations of
a temporary nature and that would not
significantly impact the values to be
protected by the requested withdrawal
may be allowed with the approval of the
authorized officer during the temporary
segregation period.
This withdrawal application will be
processed in accordance with the
regulations set forth in 43 CFR part
2300.
