SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The D–E 

NCA and Dominguez Canyon 

Wilderness Area, located within the D– 

E NCA, was established by the Omnibus

Public Law 111–11 (Act). The D–E NCA 

is comprised of approximately 209,610 

acres of public land, including 

approximately 66,280 acres designated 

as wilderness, located in Delta, 

Montrose, and Mesa Counties, Colorado, 

to be known as the ‘‘Dominguez Canyon 

Wilderness Area.’’ The purposes of the 

D–E NCA are to conserve and protect, 

for the benefit and enjoyment of present 

and future generations the unique and 

important resources and values of the 

land. These resources and values 

include the geological, cultural, 

archaeological, paleontological, natural, 

scientific, recreational, wilderness, 

wildlife, riparian, historical, 

educational, and scenic resources of the 

public lands, and the water resources of 

area streams based on seasonally 

available flows, that are necessary to 

support aquatic, riparian, and terrestrial 

species and communities. The Act also 

calls for the establishment of the D–E 

NCA Council, comprised of 10 

members, to advise the Secretary, 

through the BLM, on matters regarding 

the preparation and implementation of 

an RMP for the area. These 10 members 

shall include, to the extent practicable: 

(1) One member appointed after 

considering the recommendations of the 

Mesa County Commission; 

(2) One member appointed after 

considering the recommendations of the 

Montrose County Commission;

(A) The purposes for which the D–E 

NCA or wilderness was established; and 

(B) The interests of the stakeholders 

that are affected by the planning and 

management of the D–E NCA and 

wilderness. 

Any individual or organization may 

nominate one or more persons to serve 

on the Council. Individuals may 

nominate themselves for Council 

membership. The Obama 

Administration prohibits individuals 

who are currently federally registered 

lobbyists to serve on all Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and 

non-FACA boards, committees or 

councils. Nomination forms may be 

obtained from the BLM Grand Junction 

or Uncompahgre Field Offices, or may 

be downloaded from the following Web

information relevant to the nominee’s 

qualifications. 

The Grand Junction and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 

section 3(b)(1) of the Act of July 7, 2004, 

Public Law 108–270, 118 Stat. 805, the 

Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) will 

prepare a roll of all individuals who

Register notice. The roll will be used as

funds awarded by the Indian Claims 

Commission to the Western Shoshone 

Identifiable Group of Indians in Docket 

No. 326–K. Department of the Interior 

regulations at 25 CFR 61.4(k) set out the 

eligibility requirements for inclusion on 

this roll. To be eligible a person must: 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 97 / Thursday, May 20, 2010 / Notices 28281 

(i) Have at least 1⁄4 degree of Western 

Shoshone blood; 

(ii) Be living on July 7, 2004; 

(iii) Be a citizen of the United States; 

and 

(iv) Not be certified by the Secretary 

to be eligible to receive a per capita 

payment from any other judgment fund 

based on an aboriginal land claim 

awarded by the Indian Claims 

Commission, the United States Claims 

Court, or the United States Court of 

Federal Claims, that was appropriated 

on or before July 7, 2004. 

The Secretary will use Indian census 

rolls prepared by the Agents or 

Superintendents at Carson or Western 

Shoshone Agencies between the years of 

1885 and 1940 and other documents 

acceptable to the Secretary in 

establishing proof of eligibility of an 

individual to be listed on the judgment 

roll and receive a per capita payment 

under the Western Shoshone Claims 

Distribution Act. 

In the preamble to the regulation 

governing the creation of the roll of 

Western Shoshone identifiable group of 

Indians for judgment fund distribution, 

the Bureau of Indian Affairs set out a 

non-regulatory formula for determining 

the application deadline. Because that 

formula has proven to be 

administratively impractical to 

administer, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, 

in conjunction with tribal leaders and 

the Western Shoshone Claims Steering 

Committee, has selected an application 

deadline that approximates what the 

deadline would be under the formula in 

the preamble, if that formula had 

worked as intended. 

The information collection 

requirement contained in this notice has 

been approved by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) under 

44 U.S.C. 3504(h). The OMB control 

number is 1076–0165 and expires on 

November 30, 2011. Response is 

required to obtain a benefit. An agency 

may not sponsor, and you are not 

required to respond to, any information 

collection that does not display a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

Dated: May 10, 2010.

Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs.

Notice of Proposed Withdrawal 

Extension and Public Meeting; Oregon 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The United States Forest 

Service (USFS) has filed an application 

with the Bureau of Land Management 

(BLM) that proposes to extend the 

duration of Public Land Order (PLO) 

No. 6880, as corrected by PLO No. 6918, 

for an additional 20-year term. PLO No. 

6880 withdrew approximately 11,675.51 

acres of National Forest System land 

from mining in order to protect the 

scientific and ecological values, and the 

investment of Federal funds at the 

Pringle Falls Experimental Forest and 

Research Natural Area. The withdrawal 

created by PLO No. 6880 will expire on 

September 29, 2011, unless extended. 

This notice also gives an opportunity to 

comment on the proposed action and to 

attend a public meeting. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

August 18, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to 

the Oregon/Washington State Director, 

BLM, P.O. Box 2965, Portland, OR 

97208–2965. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Susan Daugherty, USFS Pacific 

Northwest Region, (503) 808–2416, or 

Charles R. Roy, BLM Oregon/ 

Washington State Office, (503) 808– 

6189. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

United States Forest Service has filed an 

application requesting that the Secretary 

of the Interior extend PLO No. 6880 (56 

FR 49416 (1991)), as corrected by PLO 

No. 6918 (56 FR 66602 (1991)), for an 

additional 20-year term, subject to valid 

existing rights. PLO 6880, as corrected 

by PLO No. 6918, withdrew certain 

lands in Deschutes County, Oregon, 

from location and entry under the 

United States mining laws (30 U.S.C. ch. 

2). The area described contains 

approximately 11,675.51 acres in 

Deschutes County. PLO No. 6880 is 

incorporated herein by reference. 

The purpose of the proposed 

withdrawal extension is to continue the 

protection of the scientific and 

ecological values, and the investment of 

Federal funds at the Pringle Falls 

Experimental Forest and Research 

Natural Area. 

The use of a right-of-way, interagency 

agreement, or cooperative agreement 

would not provide adequate protection. 

The Forest Service would not need to 

acquire water rights to fulfill the 

purpose of the requested withdrawal 

extension. 

Records related to the application 

may be examined by contacting Charles 

R. Roy at the above address or phone 

number. 

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 BLM Oregon/Washington State 

Director at the address indicated above. 

Electronic mail, facsimile, or telephone 

comments will not be considered 

properly filed. 

Comments, including names and 

street addresses of respondents, will be 

available for public review at the 

address indicated above during regular 

business hours. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, 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 your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. If you wish to withhold your 

name or address from public review or 

from disclosure under the Freedom of 

Information Act, you must state this 

prominently at the beginning of your 

comments. Such requests will be 

honored to the extent allowed by law. 

All submissions from organizations or 

businesses, and from individuals 

identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organization or businesses, will be made 

available for public inspection in their 

entirety. 

Notice is hereby given that a public 

meeting in connection with the 

proposed withdrawal extension will be 

held on July 6, 2010 from 5 p.m. to 7 

p.m. at the Deschutes National Forest 

Headquarters located at 1001 SW. 

Emkay Drive, Bend, OR. A notice of the 

time and place of this meeting will be 

published in at least one local 

newspaper, no less than 30 days before
