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, for a 20-year term, approximately 30,370 acres of National Forest System lands from location and entry under the United States mining laws, but not from leasing under mineral and geothermal laws. The purpose of the withdrawal is to protect and preserve the scenic integrity, important wildlife corridors, and high quality recreation values of the Emigrant Crevice area located in the Custer Gallatin National Forest, Park County, Montana. Publication of this notice temporarily segregates the lands for up to 2 years from location and entry under the United States mining laws while the withdrawal application is being processed. The lands have been and will remain open to such forms of disposition as may be allowed by law on National Forest System lands, and to leasing under the mineral and geothermal leasing laws. This notice also gives the public an opportunity to comment on the withdrawal application, and announces the date, time and location of the public meeting.

Crevice area located in the Custer Gallatin National Forest, Park 
County, Montana. Publication of this notice temporarily segregates the 
lands for up to 2 years from location and entry under the United States 
mining laws while the withdrawal application is being processed. The 
lands have been and will remain open to such forms of disposition as 
may be allowed by law on National Forest System lands, and to leasing 
under the mineral and geothermal leasing laws. This notice also gives 
the public an opportunity to comment on the withdrawal application, and 
announces the date, time and location of the public meeting.

186782.
    The areas described aggregate approximately 1,668 acres in Park 
County.
    The purpose of the requested withdrawal is to protect and preserve 
the areas scenic integrity, important wildlife corridors, and high 
quality recreation values. 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 for these 
areas.
    No alternative sites are feasible because the lands subject to the 
withdrawal application are the lands for which protection is sought 
from the impacts of exploration and development under the United States 
mining laws. No water will be needed 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 February 21, 2017, all persons who wish to 
submit comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with the 
withdrawal application may present their views in writing to the Forest 
Supervisor, Custer Gallatin National Forest 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 can 
ask us 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 a public meeting in connection with the 
application for withdrawal will be held at the Shane Center, 415 E 
Lewis St., Livingston, Montana 59407 on January 18, 2017 from 4-7 p.m. 
The USFS will publish a notice of the time and place in a local 
newspaper at least 30 days before the scheduled date of the meeting.
    For a period until November 23, 2018, subject to valid existing 
rights, the National Forest System lands 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. All other activities currently consistent 
with the Forest plan could continue, including public recreation and 
other activities compatible with preservation of the character of the 
area, subject to discretionary approval, during the temporary 
segregation period.
    The application will be processed in accordance with the 
regulations set forth in 43 CFR part 2300.
