Notice of Proposed Withdrawal Extension for Edson Creek Park and 
Opportunity for Public Meeting, Oregon

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Land and Minerals 
Management proposes to extend the duration of Public Land Order (PLO) 
No. 7246 for an additional 20-year term. PLO No. 7246 withdrew 44.48 
acres of public land from settlement, sale, location, or entry under 
the general land laws, including the United States mining laws, but not 
from the mineral leasing laws, to protect the Edson Creek Park 
recreation site in Curry County, Oregon. Public Land Order No. 7246 
will expire on February 19, 2017, unless extended. This notice gives 
the public an opportunity to comment on the proposed action and to 
request a public meeting.

DATES: Comments and public meeting requests must be received by 
September 13, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting requests should be sent to the Bureau 
of Land Management (BLM) Oregon/Washington State Director, P.O. Box 
2965, Portland, Oregon 97208-2965.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jacob Childers, BLM Oregon/Washington 
State Office at 503-808-6225. Persons who use a telecommunications 
device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay 
Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 to contact the above individual. The 
FIRS is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to leave a message or 
question. You will receive a reply during normal business hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM has filed an application to extend 
the withdrawal established by PLO No.7246 for an additional 20-year 
term, subject to valid existing rights. The Assistant

[[Page 39065]]

Secretary for Land and Minerals Management has approved the BLM's 
petition/application for a proposed withdrawal extension. Public Land 
Order No. 7246 (62 FR 7796 (1997)) is incorporated herein by reference. 
The area withdrawn by PLO No. 7246 contains 44.48 acres in Curry 
County, Oregon.
    The purpose for which the withdrawal was originally established, to 
protect the investment of funds and infrastructure at the Edson Creek 
Park recreation site, still exists.
    The use of right-of-way, interagency agreement, or cooperative 
agreement would not adequately protect the public recreation site at 
Edson Creek Park. There are no alternative sites that can be considered 
because the land described is the only land that encompasses the Edson 
Creek Park.
    The BLM would not need to acquire water rights to fulfill the 
purpose of the requested withdrawal extension.
    Records related to the application may be examined by contacting 
Jacob Childers at the address or phone number listed above.
    For a period until September 13, 2016, 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 Oregon/Washington State Office State Director at the address 
indicated above.
    Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents, will 
be available for public review at the address indicated above during 
regular business hours. Be advised that your entire comment--including 
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available. 
While you can ask us to withhold your personal identifying information 
from public review, 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 extension must submit a written 
request to the BLM State Director at the address indicated above by 
September 13, 2016. Upon determination by the authorized officer that a 
public meeting will be held, a notice of the time and place will be 
published in the Federal Register and a local newspaper at least 30 
days before the scheduled date of the meeting.
    This extension application will be processed in accordance with the 
regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2310.4.

Leslie A. Frewing,
Acting Chief, Branch of Land, Mineral, and Energy Resources.
