SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USFS 

has filed an application requesting the 

extension of the withdrawal of 990 acres 

established by PLO No. 7664 (71 FR 

33773), incorporated herein by 

reference. The USFS requests the 20- 

year withdrawal extension to protect the 

Diamond Rim Quartz Crystal 

Interpretative Area from potential 

mining-related adverse impacts. The 

subject NFS lands are located within the 

Tonto National Forest. The PLO No. 

7664 legal description has been revised 

to reflect the current BLM Cadastral 

Survey guidance on legal land 

descriptions. The following described 

NFS lands are the subject of the USFS’s 

withdrawal extension application: 

Gila and Salt River Meridian, Arizona 

T. 11 N., R. 11 E., partly unsurveyed. 

Sec. 12, W1⁄2NE1⁄4, W1⁄2, and W1⁄2SE1⁄4; 

Sec. 13, NW1⁄4NW1⁄4NE1⁄4, NE1⁄4NW1⁄4, 

W1⁄2NW1⁄4, N1⁄2SE1⁄4NW1⁄4, and 

N1⁄2NW1⁄4SW1⁄4; 

Sec. 14, S1⁄2SW1⁄4SW1⁄4NE1⁄4, 

S1⁄2SE1⁄4SW1⁄4NE1⁄4, SE1⁄4NE1⁄4, 

NE1⁄4SE1⁄4, W1⁄2SE1⁄4, 

N1⁄2NE1⁄4SE1⁄4SE1⁄4, and 

N1⁄2NW1⁄4SE1⁄4SE1⁄4; protraction block 

38, that portion formerly known as sec. 

1, SW1⁄4. 

The area described contains 990 acres. 

The use of a right-of-way, interagency 

agreement, or cooperative agreement 

would not provide adequate protection 

of the specified lands. 

No additional water rights are needed 

to fulfill the purpose of this withdrawal. 

There are no suitable alternative sites 

since the withdrawal is for the 

protection of the natural and 

recreational values of the Diamond Rim 

Quartz Crystal Interpretative Area.

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all 

information collections require approval 

under the PRA. We may not conduct or 

sponsor, and you are not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

As part of our continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burdens, we invite the public and other 

Federal agencies to comment on new, 

proposed, revised, and continuing 

collections of information. This helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand our 

information collection requirements and 

provide the requested data in the 

desired format. 

We are especially interested in public 

comment addressing the following: 

(1) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) How the agency could minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of response. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. We will include or 

summarize each comment in our request 

to OMB to approve this ICR. 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.
