Department of the Interior July 8, 2021 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The National Park Service is soliciting electronic comments on the significance of properties nominated before June 26, 2021, for listing or related actions in the National Register of Historic Places.

In accordance with Section 204 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, as amended (FLPMA), the Secretary of the Interior proposes to extend the withdrawal of approximately 730.13 acres of public lands located in Anchorage, Alaska, for an additional 20-year term. The withdrawal created by Public Land Order (PLO) No. 6127, as extended by PLO No. 7471, expires on February 11, 2022. PLO No. 6127 withdrew public land from settlement, sale, location, or entry, under the general land laws, including mining laws, and from selection under Section 6 of the Alaska Statehood Act for the Campbell Tract administrative site, and reserved for use by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for administrative site in Anchorage, Alaska. This Notice provides for the public to comment and request a public meeting for the 20-year withdrawal extension.

We, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce receipt of an application from Vulcan Materials Company (applicant) to amend of an existing incidental take permit (TE82956B-0) under the Endangered Species Act. The applicant requests the amendment of an incidental take permit (ITP) to take an additional number of the federally listed sand skink incidental sand mining operation in Putman County, Florida. We request public comment on the application, which includes the applicant's proposed amended habitat conservation plan (HCP), and the Service's preliminary determination that this HCP qualifies as ``low-effect,'' categorically excluded, under the National Environmental Policy Act. To make this determination, we used our environmental action statement and low- effect screening form, both of which are also available for public review.
