Notice of Proposed Withdrawal 

Extension and Opportunity for Public 

Meeting; Alaska 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The United States Department 

of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service 

has filed an application with the Bureau 

of Land Management that proposes to 

extend the duration of Public Land 

Order (PLO) No. 6965 for an additional 

20-year period. This order withdrew 

approximately 685 acres of National 

Forest System land from settlement, 

sale, location, or entry under the general 

land laws, including the United States 

mining laws, (30 U.S.C. Ch. 2 (2006)), to 

protect a research natural area. This 

notice gives an opportunity to comment 

on the proposed action and to request a 

public meeting. 

DATES: Comments and requests for a 

public meeting must be received by 

December 10, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting 

requests should be sent to the Alaska 

State Director, BLM Alaska State Office, 

222 West 7th Avenue, No. 13, 

Anchorage, Alaska 99513–7504. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Ramona Chinn, BLM Alaska State 

Office, 907–271–3806 or at the address 

above. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

withdrawal created by PLO No. 6965 (58 

FR 19612, April 15, 1993), will expire 

on April 14, 2013, unless extended. The 

USDA Forest Service has filed an 

application to extend the withdrawal for 

an additional 20-year period to protect 

the natural ecological complex of the 

USDA Forest Service Natural Area. 

This withdrawal comprises 

approximately 685 acres of National 

Forest System land located within: 

Copper River Meridian 

T. 79 S., R. 94 E., 

Secs. 30 and 31, 

T. 79 S., R. 93 E., 

Secs. 25 and 36, as described in PLO No. 

6965 (58 FR 19612, April 15, 1993). 

A complete description, along with all 

other records pertaining to the extension 

application, can be examined in the 

BLM Alaska State Office at the address 

shown above. 

As extended, the withdrawal would 

not alter the applicability of those 

public land laws governing the use of 

land under lease, license, or permit or 

governing the disposal of the mineral or 

vegetative resources other than under 

the mining laws. 

The use of a right-of-way or 

interagency or cooperative agreement 

would not adequately protect the 

Federal interest in the Dog Island 

Research Natural Area. 

There are no suitable alternative sites 

available that could be substituted for 

the above described public land, since 

the Dog Island Research Natural Area is 

unique. 

No water rights would be needed to 

fulfill the purpose of the requested 

withdrawal extension. 

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 Alaska State Director at the 

address indicated above. Before 

including your address, phone number, 

e-mail 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. Individual respondents may 

request confidentiality. If you wish to 

withhold your name or address from 

public review or from disclosure under 

the Freedom of Information Act, you 

must state this prominently at the 

beginning of your comments. Such 

requests will be honored to the extent 

allowed by law. All submissions from 

organizations or businesses, and from 

individuals identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, will be 

made available for public inspection in 

their entirety. 

Notice is hereby given that an 

opportunity for a public meeting is 

afforded in connection with the 

proposed withdrawal extension. 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 BLM 

Alaska State Director within 90 days 

from the date of publication of this 

notice. Upon determination by the 

authorized officer that a public meeting 

will be held, a notice of the time and 

place will be published in the Federal 

Register at least 30 days before the 

scheduled date of the meeting. 

The withdrawal extension proposal 

will be processed in accordance with 

the regulations set forth in 43 CFR 

2310.4 and subject to Section 810 of the 

Alaska National Interest Lands 

Conservation Act, 16 U.S.C. 3120 

(2006).
