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. 6856 for an additional 20-year term. PLO No. 6856 withdrew approximately 2,760.94 acres of National Forest System land from mining in order to protect the unique natural and ecological research values at the Abbott Creek Research Natural Area. The withdrawal created by PLO No. 6856 will expire on May 5, 2011, unless extended. This notice also gives an opportunity to comment on the proposed action and to request a public meeting.
