Notice of Application for Withdrawal and Opportunity for Public Meeting; John R. Fox Range, Fort Huachuca, Arizona
The United States Army (Army) has filed an application with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) requesting that the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) withdraw 1,840 acres of Federal subsurface estate lands from location and entry under the United States mining laws, and from leasing under the mineral and geothermal leasing laws, but not from disposal under the Mineral Materials Act of 1947, subject to valid existing rights, for a 20-year period.

States' Decisions on Participating in Accounting and Auditing Relief for Federal Oil and Gas Marginal Properties
In accordance with Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR) regulations, ONRR provides two types of accounting and auditing relief for Federal oil and gas production from marginal properties: the cumulative royalty reports and payments relief option, which allows a lessee or designee to submit one royalty report and payment for the calendar year's production; and other requested relief, which allows a lessee or designee to request any type of accounting and auditing relief that is appropriate for production from the marginal property and meets certain requirements. By October 1 of each calendar year, ONRR provides a list of qualifying marginal Federal oil and gas properties to the States receiving a portion of Federal royalties from those properties. Each State then decides whether to participate in neither, one, or both relief options. This notice provides the public each State's decision on whether to participate in marginal property relief.
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 12-Month Not-Warranted Finding for the Rio Grande Cutthroat Trout
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 12-month finding on a petition to list the Rio Grande cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii virginalis) as an endangered or threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). Rio Grande cutthroat trout, a subspecies of cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii), inhabit high-elevation streams in New Mexico and southern Colorado. After a thorough review of the best available scientific and commercial information, we find that listing the Rio Grande cutthroat trout as an endangered or threatened species is not warranted at this time. However, we ask the public to submit to us at any time any new information relevant to the status of the Rio Grande cutthroat trout or its habitat.
