The area described contains 18,760.63 

acres in Broadwater County. 

The Assistant Secretary for Land and 

Minerals Management has approved the 

Bureau of Land Management’s petition 

for approval to file its withdrawal 

application. The Assistant Secretary’s 

approval of the petition constitutes her 

proposal to withdraw the subject lands. 

The purpose of the proposed 

withdrawal is to protect the abovedescribed land pending action on an 

application for withdrawal of public 

land for military purposes under the 

Engle Act. The land is currently used as 

a military training range involving livefire exercises necessary for national 

security. 

The use of a right-of-way or 

cooperative agreement would not 

provide adequate authorization for the 

use of this area due to the broad scope 

of military training exercises, as well as 

the non-discretionary nature of the 

mining laws. 

There are no suitable alternative sites. 

The land described above is unique in 

having been used previously as a 

military training range with the 

attendant capital investments. The use 

of a different site would needlessly 

degrade a second site and require new 

capital investments. 

Potable water from two wells would 

be used to meet the daily needs for 

training exercises. The proposed 

withdrawal itself would not require any 

water. 

On or before December 27, 2010, all 

persons who wish to submit comments, 

suggestions, or objections in connection 

with the proposed withdrawal may 

present their views in writing to the 

BLM Montana State Director at the 

address indicated above. 

Comments and records relating to the 

proposed withdrawal will be available 

for public review at the BLM Montana 

State Office at the address above during 

regular business hours. Individual 

respondents may request 

confidentiality. 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 from 

public review your personal identifying 

information, we cannot guarantee that 

we will be able to do so. 

The proposed withdrawal of public 

land for military purposes under the 

Engle Act was discussed at five public 

meetings as part of the scoping process 

for the legislative withdrawal 

Environmental Impact Statement. 

This withdrawal proposal will be 

processed in accordance with the 

regulations set forth in 43 CFR part 

2300. 

For a period of 2 years from the date 

of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, the land will be 

segregated from settlement, sale, 

location, and entry under the general 

land laws, including the mining laws, 

unless the application is denied or 

canceled or the withdrawal is approved 

prior to that date. Land uses currently 

permitted under the existing right-ofway agreement may continue during the 

segregative period. 

Notice is hereby given that one or 

more public meetings will be held in 

connection with the proposed 

withdrawal. All interested persons who 

desire a public meeting for the purpose 

of being heard on the proposed 

withdrawal must submit a written 

request to the BLM Montana State 

Director at the address above by 

December 27, 2010. A notice of the time 

and place of any public meetings will be 

published in the Federal Register and at 

least one local newspaper at least 30 

days before the scheduled date of the 

meeting. 

Authority: 43 CFR 2310.3–1(b)(1).

Acting Chief, Branch of Land Resources,
