Notice of Proposed Withdrawal Extension and Opportunity for
Public Meeting; Alaska
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On behalf of the U.S. Department of Air Force, the Bureau of
Land Management proposes to extend the duration of Public Land Order
(PLO) No. 6677 for an additional 20-year term. This order withdrew 2.5
acres of public land from settlement, sale, location, or entry under
the general land laws, including the United States mining laws [30
U.S.C. Ch. 2] and from leasing under the mineral leasing laws, to
protect a United States Air Force radio relay site. This notice also
gives an opportunity to comment on the proposed action and to request a
public meeting.
DATES: Comments and requests for a public meeting must be received by
November 19, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting requests should be sent to the Alaska
State Director, BLM Alaska State Office, 222 West 7th Avenue, No. 13,
Anchorage, Alaska 99513-7504.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Renee Fencl, BLM Alaska State Office,
(907) 271-5067, or at the above address.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The withdrawal created by PLO No. 6677 (53
FR 18283) will expire May 22, 2008, unless extended. The U.S.
Department of the Air Force has filed an application to extend the
withdrawal for an additional 20-year period to protect the Beaver Creek
Radio Relay Site.
This withdrawal comprises 2.50 acres of public land described in
PLO No. 6677 (53 FR 18283) and located in:
Copper River Meridian
T. 15 N., R. 19 E.
Secs. 21 and 28.
A complete description can be provided by the BLM Alaska State
Office at the address shown above.
As extended, the withdrawal would not alter the application of those
public land laws governing the use of land under lease, license, or
permit or governing the disposal of the mineral or vegetative resources
other than under the mining and mineral leasing laws. No water rights
would be needed to fulfill the purpose of the requested withdrawal
extension.

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 BLM State Director at the address

Office at the address noted above during regular business hours 7:30
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 comments, 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.
Notice is hereby given that an opportunity for a public meeting is
afforded in connection with the proposed withdrawal extension. All
interested parties who desire a public meeting for the purpose of being
heard on the proposed withdrawal must submit a written request to the
BLM State Director at the address indicated above within 90 days from

Conservation Act, 16 U.S.C. 3120 (2000).
