Traduzione automatica locale · Lingua originale della fonte
Riepilogo
The United States Forest Service (USFS) has filed an application with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) requesting that the Secretary of the Interior withdraw 10,024.30 acres of National Forest System (NFS) lands located within the Coconino National Forest from location and entry under the U.S. mining laws, but not from leasing under the mineral leasing laws or geothermal leasing laws or disposal under the Mineral Materials Act of 1947, for a 20-year term, subject to valid existing rights. The purpose of the requested withdrawal is to protect Oak Creek Canyon, located in Coconino County, Arizona, from potential adverse impacts from mining. Publication of this notice temporarily segregates the lands for up to two years, initiates a 90-day public comment period, and announces to the public an opportunity to comment and participate in a public meeting on the USFS' withdrawal application.
