DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR – Bureau of Land Management Notice of Proposed Withdrawal and Public Meeting, Utah.

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Withdrawal.

SUMMARY: At the request of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the Secretary of the Interior proposes to withdraw approximately 170,429 acres of public lands and interests in lands from all forms of entry, appropriation, and disposal under the public land laws; location and entry under the U.S. mining laws; operation of the mineral and geothermal leasing laws; and disposal under the mineral materials laws, subject to valid existing rights.  The withdrawal is proposed for a period of five years to maintain the status quo while the Department of the Interior, the State of Utah, and the State of Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) consider a potential land exchange.  Subject to valid existing rights, publication of this notice in the Federal Register segregates the lands for two years from the date of publication unless the segregative effect is terminated sooner in accordance with 43 CFR 2310.2(a).  This notice also initiates a 90-day public comment period on the proposed withdrawal.  A notice for public meeting(s) regarding the proposed withdrawal will be announced separately in the Federal Register, in at least one newspaper having general circulation, and on the agency website at least 30 days before the meeting(s).

DATES: Comments regarding this proposed withdrawal must be received by August 14, 2023.    

ADDRESSES: All comments should be sent to Mary Higgins, Bureau of Land Management, Utah State Office, 440 West 200 South, Suite 500, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101-1345.

A map and other information related to the proposed withdrawal are available at the Bureau of Land Management Utah State Office, 440 West 200 South, Suite 500, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101-1345.  Details are also available on the project ePlanning website: https:// https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2024876/510

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Higgins, BLM Utah State Office, (801) 539-4105, or mhiggins@blm.gov, during regular business hours, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.  Individuals in the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services.  Individuals outside the United States should use the relay services offered within their country to make international calls to the point-of-contact in the United States.  You will receive a reply during normal business hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM has filed a withdrawal petition and application requesting that the Secretary of the Interior withdraw, subject to valid existing rights, the public lands and interests in lands (excluding lands with Federally owned fractional mineral interests) described below from all forms of entry, appropriation, and disposal under the public land laws; location and entry under the U.S. mining laws; operation of the mineral and geothermal leasing laws; and disposal under the mineral materials laws, for five years.  A withdrawal would maintain the status quo on public land and interests in lands described below while the Department of the Interior, the State of Utah, and SITLA consider a potential land exchange to transfer certain state-administered lands inside the Bears Ears National Monument, and other parcels across the State, for other Federal lands administered by the BLM across Utah.

The legal description for the public lands and interest in lands proposed for withdrawal is as follows:

The areas described aggregate approximately 170,429 acres.

The Secretary of the Interior has approved the petition to file a withdrawal application.  The Secretary’s approval constitutes her proposal to withdraw and segregate the subject lands (43 CFR 2310.1-3(e)).

There are no suitable alternative sites, and no water rights will be needed for this proposed withdrawal.

For a period until August 14, 2023, persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or objections related to the withdrawal application may present their views in writing to the individual listed in the ADDRESSES section earlier.

Comments will be available for public review by appointment at the BLM, Utah State Office 440 West 200 South, Suite 500, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101-1345, during regular business hours, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.

Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware your entire comment—including personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time.  You may ask the BLM in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, but we cannot guarantee we will be able to do so.

For a period until May 15, 2025, subject to valid existing rights, the BLM-administered lands and interests in lands described in this notice will be segregated from all forms of entry, appropriation, and disposal under the public land laws; location and entry under the U.S. mining laws; operation of the mineral and geothermal leasing laws; and disposal under the mineral materials laws, unless the segregative effect is terminated sooner in accordance with 43 CFR 2310.2(a).  Licenses, permits, cooperative agreements, or discretionary land use authorizations of a temporary nature that will not jeopardize the potential land exchange and are consistent with the relevant Utah Resource Management Plans, as amended, may be allowed with the approval of the authorized officer during the segregation period.

This proposed withdrawal will be processed in accordance with the regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2300.

State Director, Utah
