Notice of Proposed Withdrawal and 

Opportunity for Public Meeting; Alaska 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, Forest Service (U.S. Forest 

Service), has filed an application with 

the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) 

requesting the Secretary of the Interior 

to withdraw approximately 720 acres of 

land for the Spencer Glacier Recreation 

and Mineral Material Site, a part of the 

Chugach National Forest reservation in 

Alaska. This notice segregates the land 

from location and entry under the 

United States mining laws for 2 years, 

while various studies and analyses are 

made to support a final decision on the 

withdrawal application. The land will 

remain open to all other uses which can 

by law be made of National Forest 

lands, including disposition of materials 

under the Act of July 31, 1947, as 

amended. 

DATES: Comments and requests for a 

public meeting must be received by May 

29, 2007. 

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, and to 

the Regional Forester, U.S. Department 

of Agriculture, Forest Service, Alaska 

Region, P.O. Box 21628, Juneau, Alaska 

99802–1628. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Terrie D. Evarts, BLM Alaska State 

Office, (907) 271–5630. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

applicant for the above withdrawal is 

the U.S. Forest Service at the address 

stated above. Acting on behalf of and 

with the consent of the Secretary of 

Agriculture, the applicant requests the 

Secretary of the Interior, pursuant to 

section 204 of the Federal Land Policy 

and Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 

1714, 43 CFR 2310.1–2(c)(3), to 

withdraw the following described 

National Forest System land for a period 

of 20 years from location and entry 

under the United States mining laws, 

subject to valid existing rights: 

Seward Meridian 

Chugach National Forest 

T. 7 N., R. 2 E., unsurveyed. 

Sec. 2, S1⁄2SE1⁄4; 

Sec. 11, N1⁄2, N1⁄2SW1⁄4, SE1⁄4SW1⁄4, and 

N1⁄2SE1⁄4; 

Sec. 12, W1⁄2NW1⁄4 and NW1⁄4SW1⁄4. 

The area described contains approximately 

720 acres. 

The use of a right-of-way, an 

interagency agreement, or a cooperative 

agreement would not adequately 

constrain non-discretionary mining 

locations and related uses. 

There are no suitable alternative sites 

with comparable developed access and 

suitable quantity and quality of gravel 

and quarry rock. The purpose of the 

proposed withdrawal will be to aid in 

making high quality rock and gravel 

available for community uses and is also 

identified for protection of access from 

the railroad for existing recreational 

amenities including glacier viewing, 

rafting, and the trail network 

development. 

No additional water rights would be 

needed to fulfill the purpose of the 

requested withdrawal. 

The case file, including applicable 

environmental documents, can be 

examined by interested persons in the 

BLM Alaska State Office, at the address 

stated above. 

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 may 

present their views in writing to the 

Alaska State Director of the Bureau of 

Land Management at the address 

indicated above. Individual respondents 

may request confidentiality. Before 

including your address, phone number, 

e-mail address, or other personal 

identifying information in your 

comment, be advised 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 from public review your 

personal identifying information, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to
