presented in the Draft EIS on 

subsistence activities, and to hold 

public hearings if it finds that any 

alternative may significantly restrict 

subsistence uses. The preliminary 

evaluation of subsistence impacts 

indicates that certain alternatives 

analyzed in the Draft EIS and the 

associated cumulative impacts may 

significantly restrict subsistence uses. 

Therefore, the BLM will hold a public 

hearing on subsistence resources and 

activities in conjunction with the public 

meeting on the Draft EIS in the 

potentially affected community of 

Kaktovik. 

Upon completion of a Final EIS and 

Record of Decision, the BLM intends to 

conduct lease sales in accordance with 

Public Law 115–97. 

Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6(b).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BOR 

has filed an application to extend, for an 

additional 20-year term, a withdrawal 

established by PLO No. 7384 (64 FR 

19386) which will expire on April 19, 

2019. The legal descriptions written in 

PLO No. 7384 are revised to reflect the 

Cadastral Survey’s Specifications for 

Descriptions of Land: 

Gila and Salt River Meridian 

T. 6 N., R. 1 E., 

sec. 3, a portion of lot 10; 

sec. 10, S1⁄2NW1⁄4; 

sec. 15, SW1⁄4NE1⁄4. 

T. 6 N., R. 1 W., 

sec. 1, lots 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7, SW1⁄4NE1⁄4, 

E1⁄2NW1⁄4SE1⁄4, and E1⁄2SW1⁄4SE1⁄4; 

sec. 12, lot 1 and E1⁄2NW1⁄4NE1⁄4; 

sec. 13, lots 1 thru 4, W1⁄2NE1⁄4, W1⁄2SE1⁄4, 

and that portion of the W1⁄2 lying east of 

the east right-of-way of the Castle Hot 

Springs Road. 

T. 7 N., R. 1 E., 

sec. 12, a portion of lot 2. 

T. 7 N., R. 1 W., 

sec. 13, W1⁄2SW1⁄4SE1⁄4 and 

SW1⁄4NW1⁄4SE1⁄4; 

sec. 23, E1⁄2NE1⁄4, E1⁄2NW1⁄4NE1⁄4,

and NW1⁄4; 

sec. 25, NE1⁄4 and W1⁄2. 

The areas described aggregate 1,988.27 

acres in Maricopa and Yavapai Counties. 

The proposed withdrawal would 

continue with the purpose established 

by PLO No. 7384 to protect the capital 

investments and dispersed recreation in 

the BOR’s Lake Pleasant Expansion area. 

The use of a right-of-way, interagency 

agreement, or cooperative agreement 

would not provide adequate protection 

for the capital improvement investment 

that the BOR has made to the Lake 

Pleasant expansion area. 

No additional water rights are needed 

to fulfill the purpose of the requested 

withdrawal extension. 

There are no suitable alternative sites 

since the land described contain the 

developed Lake Pleasant expansion 

area. 

All persons who wish to submit 

comments, suggestions, or objections in 

connection with the proposed 

withdrawal extension may present their 

views in writing to the BLM. 

Comments, including name and street 

address of respondents, will be available 

for public review stated in the 

ADDRESSES section above during regular 

business hours 08:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., 

Monday through Friday, except Federal 

holidays. 

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 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

place will be published in the Federal 

Register and local newspapers and post 

on the BLM website at www.blm.gov at 

least 30 days before the scheduled date
