Notice of Proposed Withdrawal 

Extension and Opportunity for Public 

Meeting, New Mexico 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Assistant Secretary of the 

Interior for Land and Minerals 

Management proposes to extend the 

duration of Public Land Order (PLO) 

No. 6845 for an additional 20-year term. 

PLO No. 6845 withdrew 200 acres of 

public land from settlement, sale, 

location, or entry under the general land 

laws, including the United States 

mining laws, to protect the 

archaeological values at the Arroyo del 

Tajo Pictograph Site. This notice gives 

an opportunity to comment on the 

proposed action and request a public 

meeting. 

DATES: Comments and requests for a 

public meeting must be received by 

March 17, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting 

requests should be sent to the Bureau of 

Land Management (BLM) Socorro Field 

Office Field Manager, 901 S. Hwy 85, 

Socorro, New Mexico 87801. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ann 

D. Sullivan, BLM Socorro Field Office, 

901 S. Hwy 85, Socorro, New Mexico 

87801, or at 575–835–0412. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

withdrawal created by PLO No. 6845 (56 

FR 14865 (1991)) will expire April 11, 

2011, unless extended. PLO No. 6845 is 

incorporated herein by reference. The 

BLM has filed a petition/application to 

extend PLO No. 6845 for an additional 

20-year term. The withdrawal was made 

to protect the archaeological values at 

the Arroyo del Tajo Pictograph Site and 

surrounding area from deterioration, for 

research purposes, and for 

interpretation as described in the PLO. 

The area aggregates 200 acres in Socorro 

County, New Mexico. 

The use of a right-of-way, interagency, 

or cooperative agreement would not 

adequately constrain nondiscretionary 

uses which could result in the 

permanent loss of significant values and 

irreplaceable cultural resources. 

No water rights would be needed to 

fulfill the purpose of the requested 

withdrawal extension. 

There are no suitable alternative sites 

available since the lands described 

herein have specific archaeological 

values that are not found in any nearby 

areas. 

Records relating to the application 

may be examined by contacting Ann D. 

Sullivan or Danita Burns of the BLM 

Socorro Field Office at the above 

address or phone number. 

For a period of 90 days from the date 

of publication of this notice, 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 Socorro Field Office Field
