SUMMARY: The United States Forest Service (USFS) has filed an

to protect the integrity of the historic and cultural resources at the

Salmon River in the Klamath National Forest. This notice segregates the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USFS has filed an application requesting 
that the Secretary of the Interior withdraw, subject to valid existing 
rights, the National Forest System land described below from location 
and entry under the United States mining laws (30 U.S.C. ch. 2), for 
the protection of the cultural and historic resources within the 
Schwartz & Leff Administrative Site.

Humboldt Meridian

Klamath National Forest

T. 10 N., R. 8 E.,
    M.S. 6686 EXCEPT that portion within Tract 44 of said T. 10 N., 
R. 8 E., Humboldt Meridian

    The area described contains 39.60 acres in Siskiyou County.

    The lands described above are National Forest System lands; the 
Secretary shall make a withdrawal only with the consent of the head of 
the department or agency administering these lands. 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 in the improvements 
located on the lands. There are no suitable alternative sites with 
equal or greater benefit to the government. Conversely, there are 
alternative sites that will remain open to mineral entry that hold 
greater mineral potential than this location.
    No additional water rights will be needed to fulfill the purpose of 
the requested withdrawal.
    For a period until October 25, 2017, all persons who wish to submit 
comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with the proposed 
withdrawal may present their views in writing to the USFS office at the 
address listed above. Notice is also hereby given that the opportunity 
for a public meeting is afforded in connection with the proposed 
withdrawal. All interested parties who desire a public meeting for the 
purpose of being heard on the proposed withdrawal must submit a written 
request to the USFS office at the address listed above by October 25, 
2017.
    If it is determined that a public meeting will be held, a notice 
will be published to announce the time and place in the Federal 
Register at least 30 days before the scheduled date of the meeting.
    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. Individuals 
who submit written comments may request confidentiality by asking us in 
their comment to withhold personal identifying information from public 
review. We cannot, however, guarantee that we will be able to do so.
    For a period until July 29, 2019, 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. The temporary land uses that may be 
permitted during the temporary segregation period include licenses, 
permits, rights of way, and disposal of vegetative resources other than 
under the mining laws.

    Authority:  43 CFR 2300.

Acting Deputy State Director, Natural Resources.
