2023-27468. Notice of Proposed Withdrawal Extension, Public Meetings and Correction for Segments of the Colorado, Dolores, and Green River Corridors; Utah

AGENCY:

Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION:

Notice.

SUMMARY:

At the request of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the Secretary of the Interior proposes to extend Public Land Order (PLO) No. 7618, which withdrew public lands from location and entry under the United States mining laws, subject to valid existing rights, to protect the recreational, scenic, cultural, riparian, and fish and wildlife values of the Colorado, Dolores, and Green River Corridors, for an additional 20-year term. Lands included in PLO No. 7618 have been surveyed or resurveyed and corrected. Their official land description has been changed, requiring that the land descriptions be modified and corrected to include lands that were inadvertently not listed in the original PLO. The acreage has been changed from 111,895 acres to 109,287 acres to reflect the updated land description. The land would remain closed to location and entry under the U.S. mining laws. This notice provides a 90-day public comment period and announces that the BLM will host one in-person public meeting in Moab and one virtual meeting regarding this proposal.

DATES:

All comments must be received by March 13, 2024. The BLM will hold an in-person public meeting in connection with the proposed withdrawal extension on January 16, 2024, at the BLM Moab Field Office, 82 Dogwood Ave., Moab, Utah, from 5 to 6 p.m. Mountain Time (MT). The BLM will also hold a virtual public meeting in connection with the proposed withdrawal extension on January 18, 2024, at 6 to 7 p.m. Mountain Time (MT). The BLM will publish the date and instructions for access to the online public meeting in a local newspaper and any other additional information about the public meetings a minimum of 30 days prior to the meetings.

ADDRESSES:

All comments should be sent to the BLM Utah State Office, Attn: Mary Higgins, 440 West 200 South, Suite 500, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101–1345 or by email at [e-mail].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The BLM submitted a petition/application to the Secretary of the Interior to extend the withdrawal of PLO No. 7618 (69 FR 59953) for an additional 20-year term, subject to valid existing rights. Some lands included in PLO No. 7618 have since been officially surveyed or resurveyed, and their official land descriptions have been changed, requiring that the land descriptions in the withdrawal extension application be modified. During the review it was also found that three lots were inadvertently left out of the original withdrawal. Lands that have been officially surveyed, resurveyed, or corrected are as follows:

(a) Colorado River

(1) T. 26 S, R. 20 E,

Sec. 13, lot 4.

(2) T. 26 S, R. 21 E,
