Department of the Interior July 11, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This order partially revokes approximately 12.97 acres of a withdrawal created by two Executive Orders that reserved land at Trinidad Head for use by the United States Coast Guard for lighthouse purposes. The United States Coast Guard no longer needs the reservation on this portion of land. This order returns administrative jurisdiction over this land back to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is considering the issuance of a permit for mineral exploration on lands withdrawn for use by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The proposal to conduct sampling associated with mineral assessment on the subject lands was provided by Fairbanks Gold Mining, Inc. (FGMI). The BLM has determined that the lands are suitable and available for issuance of a non-competitive permit for such purposes to FGMI under the authority of Section 302 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA).

Pursuant to Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended by the Federal Coal Leasing Amendments Act of 1976 and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) regulations, members of the public are invited to participate with Canyon Fuel Company, LLC, on a pro rata cost sharing basis in a program for the exploration of coal deposits owned by the United States of America in Sevier County, Utah.
