Notice of Proposed Withdrawal Extension, Diamond Fork System, 
Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project, Public Land Order No. 
7422, and Opportunity for Public Meeting, Utah

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Assistant Secretary--Land and Minerals Management (ASLM) 
on behalf of the Central Utah Project Completion Act Office (CUPCAO), 
proposes to extend the duration of Public Land Order (PLO) No. 7422 for 
an additional 20-year term. PLO No. 7422 withdrew approximately 2,795 
acres of National Forest System lands from location and entry under the 
United States mining laws, but not from leasing under the mineral 
leasing laws, to protect the Diamond Fork System, Bonneville Unit of 
the Central Utah Project. This Notice advises the public of an 
opportunity to comment on the proposed withdrawal extension and to 
request a public meeting. This Notice also corrects the projects 
acreage figure for the lands and corrects the Bureau of Land 
Management's (BLM) serial register number assigned to the official case 
record of the withdrawal.

DATES: Comments and requests for a public meeting must be received by 
July 9, 2019.

ADDRESSES: All comments and public meeting requests may be made by any 
of the following methods:
     Email: [email protected].
     Mail: BLM Salt Lake Field Office, Attention: Diamond Fork 
Withdrawal Extension Project, 2370 S Decker Lake Blvd., West Valley 
City, Utah 84119.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Allison Ginn, Assistant Field Manager, 
BLM Salt Lake Field Office, 801-977-4300, or by email [email protected]. 
Persons who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call 
the Federal Relay Service (FRS) at 1-800-877-8339 to contact the above 
individual during normal business hours. The FRS is available 24 hours 
a day, 7 days a week, to leave a message or question for the above 
individual. Replies are provided during normal business hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ASLM proposes to extend the withdrawal 
established by PLO No. 7422 for an additional 20-year term to provide 
for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Diamond Fork 
System. A land survey report of PLO No. 7422 (64 FR 71467, (1999)) 
corrects the acreage withdrawn from 2,795 acres to 2,714.22 acres with 
no change to the legal land description. PLO No. 7422 is incorporated 
herein by reference with the official record maintained under Utah 
Serial Number UTU-78501. PLO No. 7422 will expire on December 20, 2019, 
unless extended. Background information on the Central Utah Project can 
be accessed online at: https://www.cupcao.gov.
    The life of the Diamond Fork System is expected to exceed 100 
years, necessitating an extension of the current withdrawal. The lands 
withdrawn from location and entry under the United States mining laws 
would continue to be available for leasing under the mineral leasing 
laws. The withdrawal made by PLO No. 7422 does not alter the 
applicability of those land laws governing the use of the National 
Forest System lands 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 agreement, or cooperative 
agreement would not constrain nondiscretionary uses.
    There are no suitable alternative sites since the land described in 
PLO No. 7422 contains the developed infrastructure of the Diamond Fork 
System.
    No additional water rights would be needed to fulfill the purpose 
of the requested withdrawal extension.
    Any 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 Salt Lake Field Office at the address 
stated above. The petition/application and the case file pertaining to 
the proposed withdrawal extension are available for public inspection 
at the BLM Salt Lake Field Office, during regular business hours, 8:00 
a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays 
and emergency closures.
    Before including your address, phone number, email address, or 
other personal identifying information in you 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 identify 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 persons who desire a public meeting for the purpose of being 
heard on the proposed withdrawal extension must submit a written 
request to the BLM Salt Lake Field Office at the address stated above 
on or before July 9, 2019. If the authorized officer determines that a 
public meeting will be held, a notice of the date, time, and place will 
be published in the Federal Register, a newspaper of general 
circulation, and posted on the BLM website (www.blm.gov/utah) at least 
30 days before the scheduled date of the meeting.
    The withdrawal extension application will be processed in 
accordance with the regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2310.4.

    Authority:  43 CFR 2310.3-1.

    Dated: April 3, 2019.
Joseph R. Balash,
Assistant Secretary--Land and Minerals Management.
