Secretary of the Interior to withdraw 

approximately 3,968 acres of National 

Forest System land from the mining 

laws for 20 years to protect cultural 

resources, including rock art of great 

cultural, scientific, and public interest 

within Craven Canyon. 

DATES: Comments and requests for a 

public meeting must be received by 

November 18, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting 

requests should be sent to the Forest 

Supervisor, Black Hills National Forest, 

1019 North 5th Street, Custer, South 

Dakota 57730 and BLM Montana State 

Director, 5001 Southgate Drive, Billings, 

Montana 59101. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Valerie Hunt, Forest Service, Rocky 

Mountain Region, 303–275–5071 or 

Sandra Ward, BLM Montana State 

Office, 406–896–5052. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

United States Department of 

Agriculture, Forest Service, has filed an 

application with the Bureau of Land 

Management, pursuant to Section 204 of 

the Federal Land Policy and 

Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 

1714 (2000) to withdraw the followingdescribed National Forest System land 

within the Black Hills National Forest, 

from location or entry under the United 

States mining laws for 20 years, subject 

to valid existing rights: 

Black Hills National Forest, Black Hills 

Meridian 

T. 7 S., R. 2 E., 

Sec. 12, E1⁄2SE1⁄4; 

Sec. 13, N1⁄2NE1⁄4; 

Sec. 24, S1⁄2NE1⁄4, E1⁄2SW1⁄4, and SE1⁄4; 

Sec. 25, W1⁄2NE1⁄4, NE1⁄4NW1⁄4, and SE1⁄4. 

T. 7 S., R. 3 E., 

Sec. 7, lots 3 and 4, E1⁄2SW1⁄4, N1⁄2SE1⁄4 and 

SW1⁄4SE1⁄4; 

Sec. 18; 

Sec. 19; 

Sec. 30, lots 3 and 4, E1⁄2W1⁄2, and E1⁄2; 

Sec. 31; 

Sec. 32. 

The area described contains 3,968.17 acres 

in Fall River County. 

The purpose of the proposed 

withdrawal is to protect and preserve 

existing Native American cultural 

resources, including rock art of great 

cultural, scientific and public interest 

within Craven Canyon. The southern 

Black Hills in general contain an 

unparalleled diversity of rock art styles. 

The most significant representation of 

this diversity exists in Craven Canyon. 

The rock art sites in this area continue 

to yield information not found in other 

types of archaeological sites. 

The use of a right-of-way or 

cooperative agreement would not 

provide adequate protection for this area 

due to the broad scope and 

nondiscretionary nature of the general 

mining laws. 

No alternative sites are feasible due to 

the cultural significance of the area. 

No water will be needed to fulfill the 

purpose of the requested withdrawal. 

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 may 

present their views in writing to the 

Forest Supervisor, Black Hills National 

Forest.
