SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is providing notice of an 
application from the United States Forest Service (USFS) requesting 
that Public Land Order (PLO) 7467 be extended for an additional 20-year 
term. PLO 7467 withdrew 74,689 acres of National Forest System lands in 
the Coconino National Forest, San Francisco Peaks/Mount Elden 
Recreation Area, Arizona. The PLO withdrew these lands from settlement, 
sale, location, or entry under the general land laws and the United 
States mining laws, but not from leasing under the mineral leasing 
laws. This notice also gives the public the opportunity to comment on 
the withdrawal extension application, and announces the date, time, and 
venue for a virtual public meeting.

DATES: Comments must be received by September 14, 2020. The USFS will 
hold a virtual public meeting in connection with the proposed 
withdrawal extension on August 17, 2020, at 5:00 p.m. The USFS will 
publish the date and instructions about how to access the online public 
meeting in the Arizona Daily Sun (Flagstaff) and the Arizona Republic 
(Phoenix Metropolitan area) newspapers a minimum of 15 days prior to 
the meetings.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be sent to the BLM Arizona State Office, 
One North Central, Suite 800, Phoenix, Arizona 85004; faxed to 602-417-
9452; or sent by email to [email protected]. The BLM 
will not consider comments received via telephone calls.

    The areas described aggregate 74,689 acres.

    PLO 7467 withdrew these lands from location and entry under the 
United States mining laws, but not from leasing under the mineral 
leasing laws, for a period of 20 years. The extension will continue the 
withdrawal established by PLO 7467 to protect the cultural 
significance, capital investments and dispersed recreation in the 
USFS's San Francisco Peaks/Mount Elden Recreation Area.
    The withdrawal extension would continue the purpose of the 
withdrawal established by PLO 7467 to protect the capital investments 
and high-quality recreation values in the USFS's San Francisco Peaks/
Mount Elden Recreation area.
    The use of a right-of-way, interagency agreement, or cooperative 
agreement would not provide adequate protection for the capital 
improvement investments that the USFS has made to the San Francisco 
Peaks/Mount Elden Recreation Area.
    No additional water rights would be needed to fulfill the purpose 
of the requested withdrawal extension. There are no suitable 
alternative sites since these lands contain the developed San Francisco 
Peaks/Mount Elden Recreation Area.
    Before including your address, phone number, email 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.
    Notice is hereby given that a virtual (online) public meeting in 
connection with the application for withdrawal extension will be held 
on August 17, 2020, at 5:00 p.m. The USFS will publish a notice of the 
time and online venue in a local newspaper a minimum of 15 days before 
the scheduled date of the meeting.
