future appointments to the Advisory 

Board.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 

21, 2009, the Department of the Interior 

published notice of the Secretary of the 

Interior’s (Secretary) proposal to 

withdraw (proposed withdrawal) 

approximately 1 million acres of 

National Forest System lands and public 

lands in northern Arizona from location 

and entry under the Mining Law of 

1872, (30 U.S.C. 22–54) (Mining Law), 

subject to valid existing rights. The 

purpose of the withdrawal, if 

determined to be appropriate, would be 

to protect the Grand Canyon watershed 

from adverse effects of locatable 

hardrock mineral exploration and 

mining. 

Under section 204 of the Federal Land 

Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), 

publication of the Federal Register 

notice of the proposed withdrawal had 

the effect of segregating the lands 

involved for up to 2 years from the 

location and entry of new mining 

claims, subject to valid existing rights, 

during which time the BLM will 

complete an analysis of the proposed 

withdrawal. The notice temporarily 

segregated the following described 

lands: 

Gila and Salt River Meridian 

Tps. 28 to 31 N., R. 1 E., 

Tps. 40 and 41 N., R. 1 E.,

The Proposed Action analyzed in the 

Draft EIS is the withdrawal of 1,010,776 

acres near Grand Canyon National Park 

from location and entry under the 

Mining Law for a period of 20 years, 

subject to valid existing rights. The 

lands included in the proposed action 

include those managed by the BLM and 

managed by the U.S. Forest Service and 

are located within portions of the Grand 

Canyon watershed. These lands contain 

significant environmental and cultural 

resources, including the nearby iconic 

Grand Canyon National Park, as well as 

substantial uranium deposits. The 

importance of the management of these 

resources has generated much public 

and Congressional interest. Public 

scoping for this project began on August 

26, 2009 (74 FR 43152–43153), with 

publication of a Notice of Intent in the 

Federal Register, and closed on October 

30, 2009. During that time 83,525 

comment letters were received. 

Important issues identified during 

scoping include: 

• Change in geologic conditions and 

availability of uranium resources; 

• Dewatering of perched aquifers and 

changes in water availability in deep
