3. The Plan Amendment/RAMP/

General Plan will recognize valid 

existing rights; 

4. Public involvement and 

participation will be an integral part of 

the planning process; and 

5. Where existing planning decisions 

are still valid, those decisions may 

remain unchanged and be incorporated 

into the new Plan Amendment/RAMP/ 

General Plan. 

You may submit comments on issues 

and planning criteria in writing to the 

BLM at any public scoping meeting, or 

using one of the methods listed in the 

ADDRESSES section above. To be most 

helpful, you should submit comments 

by the close of the 30-day scoping 

period or within 15 days after the last 

public meeting, whichever is later. 

The BLM will utilize and coordinate 

the NEPA scoping process to help fulfill 

the public involvement process under 

the National Historic Preservation Act 

(54 U.S.C. 306108) as provided in 36 

CFR 800.2(d)(3). The information about 

historic and cultural resources within 

the area potentially affected by the 

proposed action will assist the BLM in 

identifying and evaluating impacts to 

such resources. The BLM will consult 

with Indian tribes on a government-togovernment basis in accordance with 

Executive Order 13175 and other 

policies. Tribal concerns, including 

impacts on Indian trust assets and 

potential impacts to cultural resources, 

will be given due consideration. 

Federal, State, and local agencies, along 

with tribes and other stakeholders that 

may be interested in or affected by the 

proposed action that the BLM is 

evaluating, are invited to participate in 

the scoping process and, if eligible, may 

request or be requested by the BLM to 

participate in the development of the 

EIS as a cooperating agency. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email 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. 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. 

The BLM will evaluate identified 

issues to be addressed, and will place 

them into one of three categories: 

1. Issues to be resolved in the CDCA 

Plan Amendment; 

2. Issues to be resolved through policy 

or administrative action; or 

3. Issues beyond the scope of this 

CDCA Plan Amendment. 

The BLM will provide an explanation 

in the Scoping Report or the EIS/EIR as 

to why an issue was placed in category 

two or three. The public is also 

encouraged to help identify any 

management questions and concerns 

that should be addressed by the project. 

The BLM will work collaboratively with 

interested parties to identify the 

management decisions that are best 

suited to local, regional, and national 

needs and concerns. The BLM will use 

an interdisciplinary approach to 

develop the CDCA Plan Amendment in 

order to consider the variety of resource 

issues and concerns identified. 

Specialists with expertise in the 

following disciplines will be involved 

in the planning process: Planning, 

minerals and geology, outdoor 

recreation, archaeology, paleontology, 

wildlife, botany, lands and realty, 

hydrology, soils, sociology and 

economics.

Notice of Proposed Withdrawal 

Modification of Public Land Order No. 

184 and Opportunity for a Public 

Meeting, Colorado 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Assistant Secretary of the 

Interior for Land and Minerals 

Management proposes to modify, on 

behalf of the Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM), Public Land Order 

(PLO) No. 184 by opening the public 

land to all forms of appropriation and 

entry under the public land laws to 

provide for the disposal of small, 

fragmented, isolated parcels that are 

largely intermingled within residential 

areas. The public lands will remain 

closed to location and entry under the 

United States mining and mineral 

leasing laws. This notice gives the 

public an opportunity to comment on 

the application and to request a public 

meeting. 

DATES: Comments and public meeting 

requests must be received on or before 

May 11, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting 

requests should be sent to the BLM 

Colorado State Office, 2850 Youngfield 

Street, Lakewood, CO 80215–7093. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John 

D. Beck, Chief, Branch of Lands and 

Realty, 303–239–3882. Persons who use 

a telecommunication device for the deaf 

(TDD) may call the Federal Information 

Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–800–877–8339 

to contact the above individual. The 

FIRS is available 24 hours a day, seven 

days a week, to leave a message or 

question with the above individual. You 

will receive a reply during normal 

business hours. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM 

filed an application requesting the 

Assistant Secretary for Land and 

Minerals Management to modify PLO 

No. 184, by opening the following 

described public lands to all forms of 

appropriation and entry under the 

public land laws, but not to the United 

States mining and mineral leasing laws, 

subject to valid existing rights, other 

segregations of record, and the 

requirements of applicable law: 

Sixth Principal Meridian 

T. 9 S., R. 79 W., 

secs. 18, 19, and 30, all public land. 

T. 9 S., R. 80 W., 

sec. 12, all public land; 

sec. 13, lots 30 and 31, and all remaining 

public land; 

sec. 24, lot 13, and all remaining public 

land. 

The areas described aggregate 

approximately 219 acres in Lake County. 

The Assistant Secretary for Land and 

Minerals Management approved the 

BLM’s petition/application; therefore, 

the petition constitutes a withdrawal 

modification proposal of the Secretary 

of the Interior (43 CFR 2310.1–3(e)). 

The purpose of the withdrawal 

modification is to allow the BLM the 

ability to dispose of small, fragmented, 

isolated parcels that are largely 

intermingled within residential areas. 

The lands will remain closed to location 

and entry under the United States 

mining and mineral leasing laws. 

The use of a right-of-way, interagency 

or cooperative management agreement 

would not allow for title transfer in 

cases where it is determined to be in the 

public interest to dispose of highlyfragmented, isolated parcels. 

There are no suitable alternative sites 

available.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

California Desert District Advisory 

Council is comprised of 15 private 

individuals who represent different 

interests and advise BLM officials on 

policies and programs concerning the 

management of over 10 million acres of 

public land in Southern California. The 

Council meets in formal session three to 

four times each year in various locations 

throughout the BLM California Desert 

District. Council members serve without 

compensation other than travel 

expenses. Members serve three-year 

terms and may reapply to be nominated 

for reappointment to an additional 

three-year term. 

Section 309 of the Federal Land 

Policy and Management Act directs the 

Secretary of the Interior to involve the 

public in planning and issues related to 

management of BLM-administered 

lands. The Secretary also selects 

Council nominees consistent with the 

requirements of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA), which requires 

nominees appointed to the Council be 

balanced in terms of points of view and 

representative of the various interests 

concerned with the management of the 

public lands. 

The Council also is balanced 

geographically, and the BLM will try to 

find qualified representatives from areas 

throughout the California Desert 

District. The District covers portions of 

eight counties, and includes more than 

10 million acres of public land in the 

California Desert Conservation Area of 

Mono, Inyo, Kern, Los Angeles, San 

Bernardino, Riverside, and Imperial 

counties, as well as 300,000 acres of 

scattered parcels in San Diego, western 

Riverside, western San Bernardino, and 

Los Angeles counties (known as the 

South Coast). 

Public notice begins with the 

publication date of this notice and 

nominations will be accepted for 30 

days from the date of this notice. The 

seven positions to be filled include one 

elected official, one representative of 

non-renewable resources groups or 

organizations, one representative of 

recreation groups or organizations, one 

representative of wildlife groups or 

organizations, and two representatives 

of the public-at-large. These six 

positions became vacant on December 7, 

2014. The seventh position is a 

representative of the renewable energy 

industry. This position became vacant 

on January 9, 2015. The BLM was 

notified of this pending vacancy during 

the initial nomination period. The BLM 

is issuing a second call for nominations 

to notify the public of this vacant 

position and to reopen the nomination 

period for those positions listed in the 

initial call for nominations. If you have 

already submitted your DAC 

nomination materials for 2015, you will 

not need to resubmit. 

Any group or individual may 

nominate a qualified person, based 

upon education, training, and 

knowledge of the BLM, the California 

Desert, and the issues involving BLMadministered public lands throughout 

Southern California. Qualified 

individuals may also nominate 

themselves. 

The nomination form may be found 

on the Desert Advisory Council Web
