AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest 
Service has filed an application with the Bureau of Land Management 
(BLM) that proposes to extend the duration of Public Land Order (PLO) 
No. 6886 for an additional 20-year term. PLO No. 6886 withdrew 
approximately 21,636.29 acres of National Forest System land from

unique topographic characteristics and recreation values of the Snowy 
Range Area. The withdrawal created by PLO No. 6886 will expire on 
October 7, 2011, unless extended. This notice also gives an opportunity 
for the public to comment on the proposed action and announces the 
date, time, and location of a public meeting.

DATES: Comments must be received by July 25, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to the Forest Supervisor, U.S. 
Forest Service, Region 2, 2468 Jackson Street, Laramie, Wyoming 82070

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USDA Forest Service filed an application 
requesting that the Department of the

[[Page 23334]]

Interior's Assistant Secretary for Land and Minerals Management extend 
PLO No. 6886 (56 FR 50661 (1991)), which withdrew approximately 
21,636.29 acres of National Forest System lands located in Albany and 
Caribou Counties, Wyoming, from location and entry under the United 
States mining laws (30 U.S.C. ch. 2) for an additional 20-year term. 
PLO No. 6886 is incorporated herein by reference.
    The purpose of the proposed withdrawal extension is to continue to 
protect the unique topographic characteristics of the Snowy Range Area 
for recreation purposes.
    As extended, the withdrawal would not alter the applicability of 
those public land laws governing the use of the National Forest System 
land under lease, license, or permit, or governing the disposal of 
their mineral or vegetative resources other than under the mining laws.
    The use of a right-of-way, interagency, or cooperative agreement 
would not adequately constrain nondiscretionary uses which could result 
in permanent loss of these recreational values.
    There are no suitable alternative sites available. There are no 
other Federal lands in the area containing these recreational values.
    No water rights would be needed to fulfill the purpose of the 
requested withdrawal extension.
    Records relating to the application may be examined by contacting 
Janelle Wrigley at the above address, by calling 307-775-6257, or e-
mail [email protected].
    On or before July 25, 2011, 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 Wyoming 
State Director, Bureau of Land Management, at the address noted above.
    Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents, will 
be available for public review at the Wyoming State Office, Bureau of 
Land Management, 5353 Yellowstone Road, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82009, during 
regular business hours 8 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 comment, you 
should be aware 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 your personal 
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we 
will be able to do so. Individual respondents may request 
confidentiality. If you wish to withhold your name or address from 
public review or from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, 
you must state this prominently at the beginning of your comments. Such 
requests will be honored to the extent allowed by law. All submissions 
from organizations or businesses, and from individuals identifying 
themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or 
businesses, will be made available for public inspection in their 
entirety.
    Notice is hereby given that a public meeting will be held in 
connection with the proposed withdrawal extension. The meeting will be 
held on May 26, 2011, at the U.S. Forest Service, Supervisors Office, 
2468 Jackson Street, Laramie, Wyoming 82070 from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m.
