AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On behalf of the Bureau of 

Land Management (BLM), the Secretary 

of the Interior proposes to withdraw 

312.16 acres of public lands and 400 

acres of Federal mineral interest 

underlying non-Federal surface from 

location and entry under the United 

States mining laws, but not from leasing 

under the mineral and geothermal 

leasing laws, to protect desert bighorn 

sheep habitat within the Red Rock 

Wildlife Area, for a period of 50 years, 

subject to valid existing rights. 

Publication of this notice segregates the 

lands for up to two years from location 

and entry under the United States 

mining laws, subject to valid existing 

rights, but not from leasing under the 

mineral and geothermal leasing laws, 

while the application is being 

processed. This notice initiates a 90-day 

public comment period and announces 

the opportunity to request a public 

meeting on the proposed withdrawal. 

DATES: Comments and requests for a 

public meeting must be received by 

March 5, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting 

requests should be sent to the Bureau of 

Land Management (BLM), Attn: David 

McCarthy, BLM Las Cruces District 

Office, 1800 Marquess St., Las Cruces, 

NM 88005. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

David McCarthy, Realty Specialist, BLM 

Las Cruces District Office, at 575–525– 

4314, by email at mccarthy@blm.gov or

The areas described aggregate 400 acres. 

The total areas described aggregate 712.16 

acres. 

The Secretary of the Interior has 

approved the petition to file a 

withdrawal application. The Secretary’s 

approval constitutes her proposal to 

withdraw and segregate the subject 

lands (43 CFR 2310.1–3e). 

The use of a right-of-way, interagency 

agreement, cooperative agreement, or 

surface management under 43 CFR 

subpart 3809 regulations would not 

adequately constrain non-discretionary 

uses and would not provide adequate 

protection for the resource values on 

these lands. 

There are no suitable alternative sites 

available. 

No water is necessary to fulfill the 

purpose of the withdrawal application. 

Records relating to this withdrawal 

application may be examined by 

contacting the BLM at the above address 

and phone number. 

For a period until March 5, 2024, 

persons who wish to provide comments 

or request a public meeting for the 

withdrawal application must submit 

those in writing to the contact listed in 

the ADDRESSES section above. If the 

authorized officer determines that a 

public meeting will be held, a notice of 

the date, time, and place will be 

published in the Federal Register, local 

newspaper, and on the BLM website at 

www.blm.gov at least 30 days before the 

scheduled date of the meeting. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 233 / Wednesday, December 6, 2023 / Notices 84827 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you may ask the BLM in your 

comment to withhold your personal 

identifying information from public 

review, we cannot guarantee that we 

will be able to do so. 

For a period until December 6, 2025, 

subject to valid existing rights, the BLM 

lands described in this notice will be 

segregated from location and entry 

under the United States mining laws, 

but not from leasing under the mineral 

and geothermal leasing laws, while the 

withdrawal application is being 

processed, unless the application is 

denied, canceled, or the withdrawal is 

approved prior to that date. 

The public lands described in this 

notice would remain open to such forms 

of disposition as may be allowed by law 

on the public lands. Licenses, permits, 

cooperative agreements, or discretionary 

land use authorizations of a temporary 

nature and which would not 

significantly impact the values to be 

protected by the requested withdrawal 

may be allowed with the approval of the 

authorized officer during the temporary 

segregation period. 

This withdrawal application will be 

processed in accordance with the 

regulations set-forth at 43 CFR 2300.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act 

(IGRA), Public Law 100–497, 25 U.S.C. 

2701, et seq., was signed into law on 

October 17, 1988. The IGRA established 

the National Indian Gaming 

Commission (NIGC) and outlined a 

comprehensive framework for the 

regulation of gaming on Indian lands. 

Among the IGRA’s requirements is that 

persons who apply for a ‘‘key 

employee’’ (KE) or ‘‘primary 

management official’’ (PMO) position at 

a tribal gaming operation must undergo 

a background investigation 

((§ 2710(b)(2)(F)(i)). Similarly, the IGRA 

requires that persons who have direct or 

indirect financial interest in, or 

management responsibility for, a tribal 

gaming management contract, must 

undergo a background investigation and 

be evaluated for suitability as part of the 

NIGC’s management contract review 

process ((§ 2711(a), (e)(1)(D)). In keeping 

with these background investigative 

statutory requirements, NIGC 

regulations 25 CFR 522.2(g), 25 CFR 

556.4(a)(14), and 25 CFR 537.1(b)(2) 

stipulate that prospective KEs/PMOs 

and management contractors must 

submit their fingerprints to the Federal 

Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and 

undergo a criminal history record 

information (CHRI) check. 

Although CHRI checks are integral to 

the tribal KE/PMO applicant licensing 

process, tribes do not possess the 

necessary statutory authority to directly 

access FBI CHRI for this purpose. The 

NIGC, as a Federal agency empowered 

under the IGRA to access CHRI 

(§§ 2706(b)(3) & (7), 2708), accepts tribal 

fingerprint submissions and transmits 

them to the FBI for this purpose. In 

return, the FBI provides CHRI check 

results to the NIGC and the NIGC shares 

these results with the requesting tribe. 

In this process, the NIGC assumes the 

role of a CJIS Systems Agency (CSA), a 

duly authorized agency on the CJIS 

network that provides service to 

criminal justice users with respect to the 

criminal justice information (CJI) from 

the various systems managed by the 

Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) 

CJIS Division. 

The roles and responsibilities under 

which the NIGC, FBI, and tribes process 

CHRI checks are memorialized in 

Memoranda of Understanding between 

the FBI and the NIGC and between the 

NIGC and each requesting tribe. One 

such responsibility is to monitor the 

dissemination of CHRI to ensure FBIcompliant privacy and security 

standards are followed. This 

responsibility is detailed in FBI CJIS 

Security Policy, Policy Area 11 

(CJISSECPOL 5.11.2) which specifies 

that the NIGC, as a CSA, is required to 

establish a process to periodically audit 

tribes that receive CHRI to ensure 

compliance with applicable statutes, 

regulations and policies. To fulfill this 

obligation, the NIGC has established a 

CJIS Audit Unit (CAU), which is tasked 

with coordinating with tribal authorities 

to ensure that NIGC-disseminated CHRI 

is handled and managed in accordance 

with applicable statutes, regulations, 

and policies. 

In performing its oversight duties, the 

CAU will deploy questionnaires to 

gather information. This information 

will be used to assess and document 

tribal compliance with privacy and 

security standards and will enable the 

CAU to identify information 

management risk factors that may 

require remediation. This information 

collection is a vital tool for the NIGC 

CAU to be able to perform its function 

and the performance of this function 

helps to ensure that the NIGC can 

continue to support the successful 

operation of tribal gaming under IGRA. 

II. Request for Comments 

The Commission welcomes any 

comments on these collections 

concerning: (i) whether the collections 

of information are necessary for the 

proper performance of the functions of 

the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(ii) the accuracy of the agency’s 

estimates of the burdens (including the 

hours and dollar costs) of the proposed 

collections of information, including the 

validity of the methodologies and 

assumptions used; (iii) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; (iv) ways to 

minimize the burdens of the 

information collections on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

collection techniques or forms of 

information technology. 

Please note that an agency may not 

conduct or sponsor, and an individual 

need not respond to, a collection of
