Notice of Proposed Withdrawal Extension and Opportunity for Public Meeting; Oregon

Resumen

The United States 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. 6875 for an additional 20-year term. PLO No. 6875 withdrew approximately 1,050 acres of National Forest System lands from mining in order to protect the rare botanical specimens and the unique natural environment located within the Babyfoot and Big Craggies Botanical Areas. The withdrawal created by PLO No. 6875 will expire on August 27, 2011, unless extended. This notice also gives an opportunity to comment on the proposed action and to request a public meeting.
