DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Land Management 

Notice of Proposed Withdrawal and 

Opportunity for Public Meeting; 

Arizona 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Secretary of the Interior 

proposes to withdraw approximately 

633,547 acres of public lands and 

360,002 acres of National Forest System 

lands for up to 20 years from location 

and entry under the Mining Law of 

1872, 30 U.S.C. 22 et seq., on behalf of 

the Bureau of Land Management and the 

United States Forest Service. The 

purpose of the withdrawal, if 

determined to be appropriate, would be 

to protect the Grand Canyon watershed 

from adverse effects of locatable 

hardrock mineral exploration and 

mining. This notice segregates the lands 

from location and entry under the 1872 

Mining Law for up to 2 years to allow 

time for various studies and analyses, 

including appropriate National 

Environmental Policy Act analysis. 

These actions will support a final 

decision on whether or not to proceed 

with a withdrawal. The lands will 

remain open to the mineral leasing, 

geothermal leasing, mineral materials, 

and public land laws. 

DATES: Comments and requests for a 

public meeting must be received by 

October 19, 2009.

constitutes his proposal to withdraw the 

subject lands. The Forest Service has 

consented to proposing the withdrawal 

of lands under its administrative 

jurisdiction. 

The purpose of the withdrawal, if 

determined to be appropriate, would be 

to protect the Grand Canyon watershed 

from adverse effects of locatable 

hardrock mineral exploration and 

mining for up to a 20-year period, which 

is the maximum allowable for a 

withdrawal aggregating more than 5,000 

acres.

or cooperative agreement, or surface 

management by the Bureau of Land 

Management under 43 CFR 3715 and 

3809 regulations and by the Forest 

Service under 36 CFR 228 would not 

adequately constrain nondiscretionary 

uses which could result in permanent 

loss of significant values and 

irreplaceable resources at the site. 

There are no suitable alternative sites 

for the withdrawal. 

No water rights would be needed to 

fulfill the purpose of the requested 

withdrawal. 

Records relating to the application
