ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The United States Forest Service (USFS) has filed an 
application with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) requesting that 
the Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Land and Minerals 
Management extend the duration of Public Land Order (PLO) No. 7306 for 
an additional 20-year term. PLO No. 7306 withdrew 3,805.87 acres of 
National Forest System land from mining to protect the Howell Canyon 
Recreation Complex. The withdrawal created by PLO No. 7306 will expire 
on

[[Page 53189]]

January 1, 2018, unless it is extended. The land will remain open to 
all allowable uses other than the mining laws. This notice also gives 
an opportunity for the public to comment and to request a public 
meeting on the withdrawal extension application.

DATES: Comments and public meeting requests must be received by 
December 1, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting requests should be sent to the Idaho 
State Director, BLM, 1387 S. Vinnell Way, Boise, Idaho 83709.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeff Cartwright, BLM Idaho State 
Office 208-373-3885 or Sherry Stokes-Wood, Lands, USFS Intermountain 
Regional Office 801-625-5800. Persons who use a telecommunications 
device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay 
Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 to contact either of the above 
individuals. The FIRS is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You 
will receive a reply during normal business hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USFS has filed an application requesting 
that the Secretary of the Interior extend the withdrawal created by PLO 
No. 7306 for an additional 20-year term, subject to valid existing 
rights. PLO No. 7306 (63 FR 109 (1998)) withdrew 3,805.87 acres of 
National Forest System Land in the Sawtooth National Forest, Cassia 
County, Idaho from location and entry under the United States mining 
laws, but not from the general land laws or leasing under the mineral 
leasing laws. The purpose of the requested withdrawal extension is to 
continue to protect the Howell Canyon Recreation Complex investments 
made by the USFS and its permittees, and to preserve a Research Natural 
Area.
    The use of a right-of-way, interagency agreement, or cooperative 
agreement would not adequately protect the land from nondiscretionary 
uses, which could result in a permanent loss of significant values and 
capital investments.
    There are no suitable alternative sites with equal or greater 
benefit to the government.
    The USFS would not need to acquire water rights to fulfill the 
purpose of the requested withdrawal extension.
    Records related to the application may be examined by contacting 
Jeff Cartwright at the above address or by phone number.
    For a period until December 1, 2015, all persons who wish to submit 
comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with the withdrawal 
extension application may present their views in writing to the BLM 
State Director at the ADDRESS indicated above.
    Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents, will 
be available for public review during regular business hours. 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. While you may ask us in your 
comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public 
review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
    Notice is hereby given that an opportunity for a public meeting is 
afforded in connection with the withdrawal extension application. All 
interested persons who desire a public meeting for the purpose of being 
heard on the withdrawal extension application must submit a written 
request to the BLM State Director at the ADDRESS indicated above by 
December 1, 2015. Upon determination by the authorized officer that a 
public meeting will be held, a notice of the time and place will be 
published in the Federal Register and a newspaper having a general 
circulation in the vicinity of the land at least 30 days before the 
scheduled date of the meeting.
    The application will be processed in accordance with the 
regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2310.4.

Chief, Branch of Lands, Minerals and Water Rights, Resource Services.
