The U.S. Air Force 673rd Civil Engineer Squadron Real Property Officer filed an application with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) requesting the Secretary of the Interior extend the duration of the withdrawal created by Public Land Order (PLO) No. 6244 for an additional 20-year term. The withdrawal created by PLO No. 6244, as extended by PLO No. 7514, expires on May 12, 2022. PLO No. 6244, as extended, withdrew public land from surface land and mining laws for military purposes at Fort Richardson, Alaska. This requested extension notes the change of PLO No. 6244 by the 2005 Base Closure and Realignment Report, creating Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson with the Department of the Air Force as the supporting agency. This Notice invites the public to comment on the Air Force application or request a public meeting for the requested 20-year withdrawal extension.
