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

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corrects the acreage withdrawn from 2,795 acres to 2,714.22 acres with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.
