FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Scott Bixler, U.S. Forest Service, Region 

1, P.O. Box 7669, Missoula, Montana 

59807, 406–329–3655, or Sandra Ward, 

Bureau of Land Management, Montana 

State Office, 5001 Southgate Drive, 

Billings, Montana 59101–4669, 406–

896–5052. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

withdrawal created by PLO No. 6669 

(53FR9628, March 24, 1988) will expire 

March 23, 2008, unless extended. The 

USDA, Forest Service, has filed an 

application to extend Public Land Order 

No. 6669 for an additional 20-year 

period. An extension, if approved, 

would continue the withdrawal of 

National Forest System land from 

location or entry under the United 

States mining laws, subject to valid 

existing rights, and would continue 

protection of the historic archeological 

site, artifacts, and cemetery on the 

following-described land: 

Principal Meridian, Montana 

T. 14 N., R. 9 W. 

Sec. 8, W1⁄2SE1⁄4NW1⁄4, 

W1⁄2NE1⁄4SW1⁄4, SE1⁄4SW1⁄4, and 

SW1⁄4SW1⁄4SE1⁄4. 

The area described contains 90 acres 

in Lewis and Clark County. 

The purpose of the proposed 

extension is to continue the withdrawal 

created by PLO No. 6669 for an 

additional 20-year term to protect the 

historic archeological site, artifacts, and 

cemetery. 

As extended, the withdrawal would 

not alter the applicability of those 

public land laws governing the use of 

National Forest System lands 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 

interagency or cooperative agreement 

would not adequately protect the 

historic area. 

There are no suitable alternative sites 

available. There are no other federal 

lands in the area containing these 

historic resources and cemetery. 

No water will be needed to fulfill the 

purpose of the requested withdrawal 

extension. 

For a period of 90 days from the date 

of publication of this notice, all persons 

who wish to submit comments, 

suggestions, or objections in connection 

with the proposed withdrawal extension 

may present their views in writing to 

the Montana State Director, Bureau of 

Land Management, at the address noted 

above. 

Comments, including names and 

street addresses of respondents, will be 

available for public review at the Bureau 

of Land Management, Montana State 

Office, at the address noted above 

during regular business hours 8 a.m. to 

4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except holidays. Before including your 

address, phone number, e-mail address, 

or other personal identifying 

information in your comments, be 

advised 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 from 

public review your personal identifying 

information, we cannot guarantee that 

we will be able to do so. 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 Montana State 

Director, Bureau of Land Management, 

within 90 days from the date of 

publication of this notice. If the 

authorized officer determines that 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. 

This withdrawal extension proposal 

will be processed in accordance with 

the applicable regulations set forth in 43 

CFR 2310.4.
