Notice of Proposed Withdrawal and Public Meetings; San Juan 
County, NM

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of proposed withdrawal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: At the request of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and 
subject to valid existing rights, the Secretary of the Interior 
proposes to withdraw 351,479.97 acres of public lands from location and 
entry under the United States mining laws and from leasing under the 
mineral leasing laws, but not disposal under the mineral materials 
laws, for a 20-year term. This notice segregates the lands for up to 2 
years from location and entry under the United States mining laws and 
from leasing under the mineral leasing laws, subject to valid existing 
rights, initiates a 90-day public comment period on the withdrawal 
application, and notifies the public that one or more public meetings 
will be held regarding the application.

DATES: Comments and public meeting requests must be received by April 
6, 2022. In-person public meetings regarding the withdrawal application 
will be held on February 23, 2022, from 3:00-4:30 p.m. and 6:00-7:30 
p.m. at San Juan College Henderson Fine Arts Building, 4601 College 
Boulevard, Farmington, New Mexico. All current guidelines issued by the 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Department of the 
Interior COVID-19 safety precautions will be strictly enforced. Members 
of the public are required to pre-register for the in-person event by 
using the information provided in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT 
section of this notice. A virtual public meeting will take place on 
February 24 from 6:00-7:30 p.m. via the Zoom platform. To register for 
the virtual session, visit https://blm.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_79HAmxoxQ-GXRVRBXl5U0w. A notice for public meeting(s) regarding the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM has filed a petition/application 
requesting the Secretary of the Interior to withdraw public lands and 
interests in lands (excluding lands with federally owned fractional 
mineral interests) situated within the boundaries of the area depicted 
on the map submitted with the application, titled Appendix B: Chaco 
Culture National Historical Park Area Withdrawal, dated November 30, 
2021. The Secretary has approved the BLM's petition for approval to 
file its withdrawal application and proposed the withdrawal as 
requested. Following consideration of environmental and other analyses 
prepared by the BLM in support of its application, the Secretary will 
decide whether to establish the withdrawal.
    The purpose of the proposed withdrawal would be to protect these 
public lands and the greater connected landscape with a rich Puebloan, 
Tribal Nations, and cultural legacy in northwestern New Mexico from 
industrial impacts associated with oil and gas development activities 
and from adverse effects of locatable mineral exploration and mining, 
subject to valid existing rights. This proposed withdrawal area holds a 
deep meaning for the Indigenous peoples whose ancestors lived, worked, 
traded, and thrived in this high-desert community. Existing uses of the 
public lands may continue in accordance with their terms and conditions 
(except for the location or relocation of mining claims and the sale of 
new oil and gas leases) during the segregation period, including but 
not limited to livestock grazing, and lawful ingress and egress to any 
valid or patented mining claims and mineral leases that may exist on 
these lands. There may be continued use of all public lands and lawful 
access to non-Federal lands and interest in lands; current recreational 
uses including hunting, camping and day use; and all commercial uses 
being conducted under special use permits. Temporary uses that may be 
permitted during the segregation period are leases, licenses, permits, 
rights-of-way, and other uses consistent with the 2003 Farmington 
Resource Management Plan, as amended.
    The legal description is as follows:

    For a period until April 6, 2022, persons who wish to submit 
comments, suggestions, or objections related to the withdrawal

aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying 
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you may 
ask BLM in your comment to withhold your personal identifying 
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be 
able to do so.

subject to valid existing rights, the BLM lands described in this 
notice will be temporarily segregated from location and entry under the 
United State mining laws and from leasing under the mineral leasing 
laws, but not disposal under the mineral materials laws, unless the 
application is denied or canceled or the withdrawal is approved prior 
to that date. All activities currently consistent with the 2003 
Farmington Resource Management Plan, as amended, are authorized to 
continue, including public recreation, mineral materials disposition, 
and other activities compatible with preservation of the character of 
the area, subject to BLM discretionary approval, during the segregation 
period.
