SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

response to recommendations made by 

the Southwest Resource Advisory 

Council and other concerned 

individuals, clubs, and organizations, 

the BLM proposes to change the existing 

‘‘Open’’ designation to ‘‘Limited to 

Existing’’ for all public lands 

administered by the field office. In 

addition, the BLM is proposing a 

comprehensive travel management plan 

establishing a transportation system of 

designated roads and trails within the 

Dry Creek area. 

The proposed action does not affect: 

• Travel decisions in the Gunnison 

Gorge National Conservation Area. 

• North Delta OHV Play Area, which 

will be addressed in subsequent travel 

management planning. 

• Gunnison Travel Interim 

Restrictions Plan Amendment area, 

which will be addressed in subsequent 

travel management planning. 

• Other designations such as 

‘‘Limited to Existing’’ and ‘‘Limited to 

Designated’’ areas in the RMPs. These 

areas will be addressed in subsequent 

travel management planning. 

Preliminary issues and management 

concerns have been identified by BLM 

personnel, other agencies, and in 

meetings with individuals and user 

groups. They represent the BLM’s 

knowledge to date on the existing issues 

and concerns with current management. 

Some of these issues and concerns 

include: 

• Impacts to other public land users 

and adjacent private landowners; 

• Impacts to wildlife habitat; 

• Impacts to water quality, cultural 

sites, vegetation, including riparian and 

wetland areas, and soils; and 

• Identification of recreational 

opportunities. 

These issues, along with others that 

may be identified through public 

participation, will be considered in the 

planning process. The public is 

encouraged to help identify issues and 

concerns during the scoping phase. The 

purpose of the public scoping process is 

to determine relevant issues that will 

influence the scope of the 

environmental analysis and 

management alternatives. These issues 

will also guide the planning process. 

You may submit comments on issues 

and planning criteria in writing to the 

BLM at any public scoping meeting, or 

by using one of the methods listed in 

the ADDRESSES section above. The 

minutes and list of attendees for each 

scoping meeting will be available to the 

public and open for 30 days after the 

meeting to any participant who wishes 

to clarify the views he or she expressed. 

An interdisciplinary approach will be 

used to develop the plan amendment in 

order to consider the variety of resource 

issues and concerns identified. 

Disciplines involved in the planning 

process will include specialists with 

expertise in rangeland management, 

outdoor recreation, law enforcement, 

archaeology, wildlife and fisheries, 

lands and realty, hydrology, soils, and 

vegetation. Notification of the planning 

process will be made to the Governor of 

Colorado, County Commissioners, local 

tribes, and potentially affected members 

of the public.

Field Manager, Uncompahgre Field Office.

Notice of Proposed Withdrawal 

Extension and Opportunity for Public 

Meeting, Colorado 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Secretary of the Interior 

proposes to extend the duration of 

Public Land Order (PLO) No. 6733 for 

an additional 20-year period. PLO No. 

6733 withdrew 100 acres of National 

Forest System land in Gunnison County, 

Colorado, from location and entry under 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
10244 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 44 / Wednesday, March 7, 2007 / Notices 

the general mining laws for the 

protection of the Bureau of Reclamation 

Silver Jack Recreation Area. This notice 

gives the public 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 June 

5, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting 

requests should be sent to the State 

Director, Colorado State Office, Bureau 

of Land Management (BLM), 2850 

Youngfield Street, Lakewood, Colorado 

80215–7093. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John 

D. Beck, Branch of Lands and Realty, 

Colorado State Office, at 303–239–3882. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

withdrawal created by PLO No. 6733 (54 

FR 30213) will expire July 18, 2009, 

unless extended by the Secretary of the 

Interior pursuant to section 204 of the 

Federal Land Policy and Management 

Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1714. The public 

land withdrew 100 acres of National 

Forest land from the mining laws to 

protect the BOR Silver Jack Recreation 

Area. A legal description of the subject 

land can be found in the published 

public land order, and if requested, 

copies of the order will be provided by 

the BLM, Colorado State Office. 

As extended, the withdrawal would 

not alter the applicability of those land 

laws governing the use of the 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 a 

cooperative agreement would not 

provide adequate protection of the 

Federal investment in the area. 

There are no suitable alternative sites 

as the described lands contain the 

facilities and resource values in need of 

protection. The withdrawal would not 

displace any existing uses. 

Water rights will not be needed to 

fulfill the purpose of the requested 

withdrawal. 

For a period of 90 days from the date 

of publication of this notice, all persons 

who wish to submit comments in 

connection with the proposed 

withdrawal extension may present their 

views in writing to the BLM, Colorado 

State Director at the address above. 

Comments, including names and street 

addresses of respondents, will be 

available for public review during 

regular business hours at the BLM 

Colorado State Office. Relevant BLM 

records as to the BOR application and 

comments, including names and street 

addresses of respondents, will be 

available for public review during 

regular business hours at the BLM 

Colorado State Office. Individuals 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 persons who desire a public 

meeting for the purpose of being heard 

on the proposed withdrawal extension 

must submit a written request to the 

BLM Colorado State Director at the 

address given above within 90 days 

from the publication of this notice. If the 

authorized officer determines 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 application 

will be processed in accordance with 

the regulations set forth in 43 CFR 

2310.4. 

(Authority: 43 CFR 2310.3–l (a)). 

Dated: December 15, 2006.

BILLING CODE 4310–JB–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Minerals Management Service 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection, 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service 

(MMS), Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of a revision of a 

currently approved information 

collection (OMB Control Number 1010–

0120). 

SUMMARY: To comply with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), we are inviting comments on a 

collection of information that we will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for review and approval. 

The title of this information collection 

request (ICR) is ‘‘30 CFR Part 206—

Product Valuation, Subparts F and J; 

Part 210—Forms and Reports, Subparts 

E and H; and Part 218—Collection of 

Royalties, Rentals, Bonuses and Other 

Monies Due the Federal Government, 

Subpart E.’’ We changed the title of this 

ICR to clarify the regulatory language we 

are covering under 30 CFR parts 206, 

210, and 218 and to reflect OMB 

consolidation approval of two solid 

mineral-related ICRs. Those ICRs were 

titled: 

• 1010–0074: 30 CFR Part 206—

Product Valuation, Subpart J—Indian 

Coal (Forms MMS–4292, Coal Washing 

Allowance Report, and MMS–4293, 

Coal Transportation Allowance Report); 

and 

• 1010–0120: 30 CFR Part 206, 

Subpart F—Federal Coal and Subpart 

J—Indian Coal; Part 210, Subpart B—

Oil, Gas, and OCS Sulfur—General, 

Subpart E—Solid Minerals, General, 

Subpart H—Geothermal Resources; Part 

218, Subpart B—Oil and Gas, General, 

Subpart E—Solid Minerals—General 

(Form MMS–4430, Solid Minerals 

Production and Royalty Report). 

In the two ICRs, much of the general 

information was repeated and cross 

referenced. This consolidated ICR 1010–

0120 eliminates that duplication of 

effort and redundancy of data and also 

provides for review of all solids and 

geothermal information collection 

requirements on a MMS Solids and 

Geothermal Compliance and Asset 

Management program-wide basis. The 

current ICR does not expire until 

October 31, 2007 and has a total of 1,751 

burden hours as of OMB Notice of 

Change dated December 9, 2005, which 

consolidated the burden hours from 

ICRs 1010–0074 and 1010–0120. 

DATES: Submit written comments on or 

before May 7, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments 

to Sharron L. Gebhardt, Lead Regulatory 

Specialist, Minerals Management 

Service, Minerals Revenue Management, 

P.O. Box 25165, MS 302B2, Denver, 

Colorado 80225. If you use an overnight 

courier service or wish to hand-carry 

your comments, our courier address is 

Building 85, Room A–614, Denver 

Federal Center, West 6th Ave. and 

Kipling Blvd., Denver, Colorado 80225. 

You may also e-mail your comments to 

us at mrm.comments@mms.gov. Include 

the title of the information collection 

and the OMB control number in the 

‘‘Attention’’ line of your comment. Also 

include your name and return address. 

If you do not receive a confirmation that 

we have received your e-mail, contact 

Ms. Gebhardt at (303) 231–3211.
