Interior.

ACTION: Notice to the public that certain

public lands are available for a nonFederal use.

SUMMARY: The Gas Producers Pipeline

Team is comprised of BP Exploration

(Alaska), Inc.; ExxonMobil Production

Company; and Phillips Alaska, Inc. The

Gas Producers Pipeline Team has

applied for a permit to use public lands

near Fairbanks, Alaska, for a nonFederal purpose. The Bureau of Land

Management has determined the lands

are available for this use and that

publication of this Notice of Realty

Action is necessary pursuant to BLM

manual 2920.4.

DATES: Submit comments on or before

January 7, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Address all comments

concerning this notice to Robert

Schneider, Field Manager, Northern

Field Office, BLM, 1150 University

Ave., Fairbanks, AK 99709–3844.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lon

Kelly, 907–474–2368.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gas

Producers Pipeline Team has applied

for a permit to use public lands for

certain trials of trenching technology.

The BLM has determined the lands are

available for this non-Federal use. The

decision on authorization of the nonFederal use will be made after an

evaluation of the application. The

application has been assigned the serial

number FF093460.

The proposed permit would grant

exclusive use of specific public lands

for a period of time not to exceed one

year, and non-exclusive use for an

additional period. The permit would

authorize the use of these public lands

to conduct trials of trenching machines

and related techniques. This work

would help assess the potential of

trenching technology for use in the

64454 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 240 / Thursday, December 13, 2001 / Notices

eventual construction of a gas pipeline

in Alaska.

The proposed action is in

conformance with the White Mountains

National Recreation Area Resource

Management Plan, dated February 6,

1986.

The parcel proposed for permitting

under provisions of section 302 of the

Federal Land Policy and Management

Act (FLPMA) of 1976 and 43 CFR 2920

is described as follows:

Fairbanks Meridian, Alaska

T.4 N., R.2W., secs. 25 and 31

The parcel affected by the proposed

permit is near Washington Creek, just

off the Elliott Highway, approximately

20 statute miles north of Fairbanks,

Alaska. The test trench site is

approximately 800 feet by 2000 feet and

encompasses about 36.7 acres. A

driveway about 200 feet long will

connect the test site with the Elliott

Highway. The lands are currently

undeveloped. The proposed permit

would authorize the digging and

rehabilitation of 13 trenches, requiring

the removal and replacement of 45,000

cubic yards of material for the trenches.

Rent would not be less than the

appraised fair market value.

For a period of 25 days from the date

of publication of this Notice in the

Federal Register, interested parties may

submit comments to the Northern Field

Office Manager at the above address.

The 25-day comment period, rather than

the customary 45-day period, is

necessary to allow expedited evaluation

of comments and processing of the

permit so work can begin during

February 2002, if the application is

approved. The work must be conducted

in typical winter conditions if the

necessary data are to be collected, and

a later start would amount to a one-year

delay. The BLM manual requires notices

of realty action to be published in the

Federal Register, and then published in

a local newspaper for the following

three weeks.

In the absence of adverse comments,

the application for the proposed use

will be processed in accordance with

normal procedures.

Dated: December 10, 2001.

Assistant Director, Minerals, Realty &

Resource Protection.

Title: Ririe Reservoir Recreation

Survey.

Abstract: Ririe Reservoir is located on

Willow Creek, a minor tributary of the

Snake River in Bonneville County of

eastern Idaho. Ririe Reservoir has

recreation attributes that serve Idaho

Falls, Ririe, and southeastern Idaho, as

well as out-of-state visitors. Primary

summer activities consist of boating,

swimming, fishing, camping, and

picnicking. In general the survey will be

used to determine carrying capacity for

recreation uses on both Reclamation

lands and water, and necessary

management actions related to

recreation, as identified in the Resource

Management Plan for this reservoir.

Further, the survey will determine if

and when boat ramps, docks, parking,

and other facilities need to be expanded

for recreation during the next 10 years

and if the expansion can be

accomplished without detriment to

natural, recreational, and cultural

resources.

Description of respondents: Ririe

Reservoir recreationists from Idaho

Falls, Ririe, southeastern Idaho, and an

indeterminate diversity of out-of-state

visitors to Ririe Reservoir.

Frequency: This is a one-time

voluntary survey.

Estimated completion time: An

average of 30 minutes per respondent.

Annual responses: 250 respondents.

Annual burden hours: 125.

Our practice is to make comments,

including names and home addresses of

respondents, available for public

review. Individual respondents may

request that we withhold their home

address from public disclosure, which

we will honor to the extent allowable by

law. There also may be circumstances in

which we would withhold a

respondent’s identity from public

disclosure, as allowable by law. If you

wish us to withhold your name and/or

address, you must state this

prominently at the beginning of your

comment. We will make all submissions

from organizations or businesses, and

from individuals identifying themselves

as representatives or officials of

organizations or businesses, available

for public disclosure in their entirety.
