The United States Forest Service (USFS) has filed an application with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) requesting that the Secretary of the Interior withdraw approximately 82.5 acres of National Forest System land from location and entry under the United States mining laws, but not leasing under the mineral leasing laws for a 20-year term to protect the recreational resources at the Spanish Creek Campground located in the Plumas National Forest, California. Publication of this notice temporarily segregates the land for up to 2 years from location and entry under the United States mining laws while the withdrawal application is being processed. This notice also gives the public an opportunity to comment on the withdrawal application and to request a public meeting. The land has been and will remain open to such forms of disposition allowed by law on National Forest System land and to mineral leasing, except for location and entry under the mining laws.

Notice of Application for Withdrawal and Opportunity for Public 
Meeting; California

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Forest Service (USFS) has filed an 
application with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) requesting that 
the Secretary of the Interior withdraw approximately 82.5 acres of 
National Forest System land from location and entry under the United 
States mining laws, but not leasing under the mineral leasing laws for 
a 20-year term to protect the recreational resources at the Spanish 
Creek Campground located in the Plumas National Forest, California. 
Publication of this notice temporarily segregates the land for up to 2 
years from location and entry under the United States mining laws while 
the withdrawal application is being processed. This notice also gives 
the public an opportunity to comment on the withdrawal application and 
to request a public meeting. The land has been and will remain open to 
such forms of disposition allowed by law on National Forest System land 
and to mineral leasing, except for location and entry under the mining 
laws.

DATES: Comments and public meeting requests must be received by 
November 7, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting requests should be sent to the Mt. 
Hough Ranger District, 39696 Hwy. 70, Quincy, California 95971, 
Attention: Leslie Edlund, or emailed to comments-pacificsouthwest-plumas-mthough@fs.fed.us with Subject: Spanish Creek Campground Mineral 
Withdrawal.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Easley, BLM California State 
Office, 916-978-4673 or Donna Duncan, Plumas National Forest, Mt. Hough 
Ranger District, 530-283-7614 during regular business hours, 8:00 a.m. 
to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, except holidays. 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

week, to leave a message or question. You will receive a reply during 
normal business hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The applicant is the USFS. The application 
requests the Secretary of the Interior to withdraw, subject to valid 
existing rights, the following described land from location and entry 
under the United States mining laws, but not from leasing under the 
mineral leasing laws, for a period of 20 years to protect the 
recreational resources within the Spanish Creek Campground.

Plumas National Forest

Mount Diablo Meridian

T. 25 N., R. 9 W.,
    Sec 15, W\1/2\NE\1/4\SW\1/4\, NE\1/4\SW\1/4\SW\1/4\, NW\1/
4\SE\1/4\SW\1/4\, W\1/2\NE\1/4\SE\1/4\SW\1/4\, E\1/2\NW\1/4\SW\1/4\,

4\SW\1/4\SW\1/4\NW\1/4\.

    The area described contains approximately 82.5 acres in Plumas 
County.

    The purpose of the requested withdrawal is to protect the 
recreational resources at the Spanish Creek Campground. The use of a 
right-of-way, interagency agreement, or cooperative agreement would not 
adequately constrain non-discretionary uses and would not provide 
adequate protection of the Federal investment of funds and 
infrastructure at the Spanish Creek Campground. There are no suitable 
alternative sites because the land described is the only land that 
encompasses the Spanish Creek Campground.
    No additional water rights need to be acquired to fulfill the 
purpose of the requested withdrawal.
    Records related to the application may be examined by contacting 
either of the individuals listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT 
section above. For a period until November 7, 2016, all persons who 
wish to submit comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with 
the withdrawal application may present their views in writing to the 
BLM California State Office at the address noted above. Comments, 
including names and street addresses of respondents, will be available 
for public review at the address indicated above 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 to withhold your personally 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 application for withdrawal. All 
interested persons who desire a public meeting for the purpose of being 
heard on the application for withdrawal must submit a written request 
to the BLM California State director no later than November 7, 2016. If 
the authorized officer determines that a public meeting will be held, a 
notice of the time and place will be published in the Federal Register 
and a local newspaper at least 30 days before the scheduled date of the 
meeting.
    For a period until August 9, 2018, subject to valid existing 
rights, the land described in this notice will be segregated from 
location and entry under the United States mining laws, unless the 
application is denied or canceled or the withdrawal is approved prior 
to that date. Licenses, permits, cooperative agreements, or 
discretionary land use authorizations of a temporary

nature which will not significantly impact the values to be protected 
by the withdrawal may be allowed with the approval of the authorized 
officer of the USFS during the temporary segregation period.
    The application will be processed in accordance with the 
regulations set forth in 43 CFR part 2300.

Thomas Pogacnik,
California Deputy State Director.
