3. At 10 a.m. on October 14, 2008, the 

lands described in Paragraph 2 shall be 

opened to such forms of disposition as 

may by law be made of National Forest 

System lands, including location and 

entry under the United States mining 

laws, subject to valid existing rights, the 

provisions of existing withdrawals, 

other segregations of record, and the 

requirements of applicable law. 

Appropriation of lands described in this 

order under the general mining laws 

prior to the date and time of restoration 

is unauthorized. Any such attempted 

appropriation, including attempted 

adverse possession under 30 U.S.C. 38 

(2000), shall vest no rights against the 

United States. Acts required to establish 

a location and to initiate a right of 

possession are governed by State law 

where not in conflict with Federal law. 

The Bureau of Land Management will 

not intervene in disputes between rival 

locators over possessory rights since 

Congress has provided for such 

determinations in local courts.

Notice of Proposed Withdrawal 

Extension and Opportunity for Public 

Meeting, Yucca Mountain, Nye County, 

NV 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 


ebenthall on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES
53042 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 178 / Friday, September 12, 2008 / Notices 

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(DOE) proposes to extend the duration 

of Public Land Order (PLO) No. 6802, 

issued in 1990, and extended by PLO 

No. 7534 for an additional 12 year 

period. PLO No. 6802 withdrew 

4,255.50 acres of public land in Nye 

County from location and entry under 

the United States mining laws (30 

U.S.C. 2), and from leasing under the 

mineral leasing laws, to maintain the 

physical integrity of the subsurface 

environment at Yucca Mountain. 

DATES: Comments and requests for a 

meeting should be received on or before 

December 11, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting 

requests may be mailed to the Nevada 

State Director, Attn: NV 930 Yucca 

Mountain Withdrawal, Bureau of Land 

Management, 1340 Financial Blvd., P.O. 

Box 12000, Reno, NV 89520. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jacqueline M. Gratton, 775–861–6532. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

withdrawal created by PLO No. 6802 (55 

FR 39152 (1990)) as extended by PLO 

No. 7534 (67 FR 53359 (2002)) will 

expire on January 31, 2010, unless 

extended. The DOE filed an application 

to extend their withdrawal of public 

land at Yucca Mountain in Nye County. 

The proposed twelve (12) year extension 

would continue the withdrawal of 

public land from location under the 

United States mining laws and from 

leasing under the mineral leasing laws 

for the lands described in PLO No. 6802. 

The DOE proposes to extend the 

withdrawal through January 31, 2022. 

The extension of the withdrawal would 

maintain the physical integrity of the 

subsurface environment to ensure that 

scientific studies for site 

characterization at Yucca Mountain are 

not invalidated or otherwise adversely 

impacted. Site characterization 

activities will be used to determine the 

suitability of Yucca Mountain for a 

permanent nuclear waste repository. 

The use of a right-of-way, interagency, 

or cooperative agreement would not 

adequately constrain nondiscretionary 

uses which could result in permanent 

loss of significant values and threaten 

public health and safety and Federal 

investment. 

There are no suitable alternative sites 

since the lands described herein contain 

the specific resource value and Federal 

improvements described in the 

application. 

No water rights would be needed to 

fulfill the purpose of the requested 

withdrawal extension. 

Records relating to the application 

may be examined by contacting 

Jacqueline M. Gratton at the address or 

phone number above. 

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 Nevada State Director of the Bureau 

of Land Management. 

Comments, including names and 

street addresses of respondents, will be 

available for public review at the BLM 

Nevada State Office at the address stated 

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 

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. Individual respondents may 

request confidentiality. 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 

organizations or businesses, will be 

made available for public inspection in 

their entirety. 

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 extension must submit 

a written request to the Nevada State 

Director within 90 days from the date of 

publication of this notice. Upon 

determination by the authorized officer 

that a public meeting will be held, a 

notice of the time and place will be 

published in the Federal Register and at 

least one local newspaper 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 

accordance with 43 CFR 2310.4 

Authority: 43 CFR 2310.3–1. 

Dated: September 4, 2008. 

Michael R. Holbert, 

Deputy State Director, Resources, Lands and 

Planning.

BILLING CODE 4310–HC–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Boundary Revision 

AGENCY: National Park Service, 

Department of the Interior. 

ACTION: Notification of boundary 

revision. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the boundary of Big Thicket National 

Preserve is modified to include seven 

tracts of land adjacent to the park. This 

revision is made to include privately 

owned property that the landowners 

wish to donate to the United States. The 

National Park Service has determined 

that inclusion of the seven tracts within 

the preserve’s boundary will make 

significant contributions to the purposes 

for which the preserve was established. 

After the United States acquires the 

tracts, the National Park Service will 

manage them in accordance with 

applicable law. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

National Park Service, Glenna F. Vigil, 

Chief, Land Resources Program Center, 

Intermountain Region, P.O. Box 728, 

Santa Fe, New Mexico 87504. 

DATES: The effective date of this 

boundary revision is the date of 

publication in the Federal Register. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Act of 

October 11, 1974, Public Law 93–439, 

88 Stat. 1254, codified as amended at 16 

U.S.C. 698 through 698e (2006), 

established the Big Thicket National 

Preserve and provides that after 

advising the House Committee on 

Natural Resources and the Senate 

Committee on Energy and Natural 

Resources, the Secretary of the Interior 

is authorized to make these boundary 

revisions. This action will add seven 

tracts comprising 6,281.19 acres of land, 

more or less, of land to the Big Thicket 

National Preserve. The acquisition of 

these tracts is required to maintain the 

preserve’s natural and ecological 

integrity. The seven tracts are listed as 

follows: Tract 201–12, 92.00 acres; Tract 

202–10, 816.70 acres; Tract 224–15, 

81.05 acres; Tract 225–16, 167.05 acres; 

Tract 229–03, 4,500 acres, more or less; 

Tract 229–04, 408.69 acres; and Tract 

229–05, 215.70 acres. The referenced 

tracts are depicted on the following land 

acquisition segment maps as follows:
