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

概要

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) 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. 6812 for an additional 20-year period. PLO No. 6812 withdrew approximately 40 acres of National Forest System land from the mining laws for use as a base camp site for the Smithsonian Institution's Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory. The withdrawal created by PLO No. 6812 will expire on October 30, 2010, unless extended. This notice gives an opportunity to comment on the proposed action and to request a public meeting.
