AGENCY:

Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Interior.

ACTION:

Public Land Order.

SUMMARY:

This Public Land Order (PLO) withdraws 221,898.23 acres, including approximately 197,744.66 acres of National Forest System lands, approximately 15,464.99 acres of BLM-managed public lands, and approximately 8,688.58 acres of reserved Federal mineral interest, from all forms of entry, appropriation, and disposal under the public land laws; location and entry under the mining laws; and operation of the mineral leasing, mineral materials, and geothermal leasing laws, subject to valid existing rights, for a period of 20 years.

DATES:

This PLO takes effect on April 8, 2024.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Jennifer Jardine, Bureau of Land Management, Colorado State Office, telephone: [phone], email: [e-mail] or [e-mail]; or Elysia Retzlaff, United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Regional Office, telephone: [phone], email: [e-mail], during regular business hours, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, except holidays. Individuals in the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services. Individuals outside the United States should use the relay services offered within their country to make international calls to the point-of-contact in the United States.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The purpose of this withdrawal is to ensure the retention of the contiguous landscape, resulting in more efficient and effective administration of National Forest System and BLM-administered lands, and to protect the agricultural, ranching, wildlife, air quality, recreation, ecological, and scenic values of the Thompson Divide Area from further mineral development that could adversely impact these values and the local economies that depend on these values.

This PLO does not apply to the approximately 35,541.70 acres of non- Federal lands with no Federal interest within the boundaries of the area described herein. If the non-Federal lands within the area described in this Order are subsequently acquired by the United States, those lands will become subject to this withdrawal.

Order

By virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of the Interior by section 204(c) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1714(c), it is ordered as follows:

1. Subject to valid existing rights, the following described Federal lands and all non-Federal lands that are subsequently acquired by the Federal government, are hereby withdrawn from all forms of entry, appropriation, and disposal under the public land laws; location and entry under the United States mining laws; and operation of the mineral leasing, mineral materials, and geothermal leasing laws, for a 20-year term to ensure the retention of the contiguous landscape, resulting in more efficient and effective administration of National Forest System and BLM-administered lands, and to maintain, protect, and conserve agricultural, ranching, wildlife, air quality, recreation, ecological, and scenic values of the area from further mineral development that could adversely impact these values and the local economies that depend on these values.
