Wyoming

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of proposed withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The Assistant Secretary--Land and Minerals Management has 
approved a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) petition/application to 
extend the duration of Public Land Order (PLO) No. 7434 for an 
additional 20-year term. PLO No. 7434 withdrew 1,430.92 acres of public 
lands from location and entry under the United States mining laws to

investments in Fremont County, Wyoming. This Notice advises the public 
of an opportunity to comment on the application for the proposed 
withdrawal extension and to request a public meeting.

Wyoming State Director, 5353 Yellowstone Road, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82009. 
Comments, including name and street address of respondents, will be 
available for public review at the BLM Lander Field Office, 1335 Main

4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.

Wyoming State Office, address listed above, telephone: 307-775-6257,

332-8405, email: [email protected]. Persons who use a telecommunications

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The withdrawal established by PLO No. 7434 
(65 FR 15920) will expire March 23, 2020, and is incorporated herein by 
reference. The BLM has filed a petition/application to extend PLO No. 
7434 for an additional 20-year term.
    The purpose of the proposed withdrawal extension is to continue the 
withdrawal established by PLO No. 7434 to protect the Whiskey Mountain 
Bighorn Sheep Winter Range and capital investments in the area.
    The use of a right-of-way, interagency, or cooperative agreement 
would not constrain nondiscretionary uses.
    There are no suitable alternative sites since the lands described 
in PLO No. 7334 identify the area that has historically been used as 
bighorn sheep winter range due to the physical characteristics and 
because of the local weather conditions.
    No water rights would be needed to fulfill the purpose of this 
withdrawal extension.
    Comments, including name and street address of respondents, will be 
available for public review at the BLM Lander Field Office, 1335 Main

information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you may 
ask the BLM 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 proposed withdrawal extension. All 
interested persons who desire a public meeting for the purpose of being 
heard on the proposed withdrawal extension must submit a written 
request to the State Director, BLM Wyoming State Office at the address
