SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The withdrawal established by PLO No. 7555

Secretary extend PLO No. 7555 for an additional 20-year term. The
purpose of the withdrawal extension is to continue recreational
utilization and protection of the Russian River watershed near Cooper
Landing, Alaska.
A complete description of the lands requested, along with all other
records pertaining to the extension, can be examined in the BLM Alaska
State Office at the address shown above.
The use of a rights-of-way, interagency, or cooperative agreement
would not adequately constrain non-discretionary uses that may result
in disturbance of the lands embraced within the Russian River and Upper
Russian Lake Recreation Corridor.
There are no suitable alternative sites as the described lands
contain the resource values to be protected.
No additional water rights will be needed to fulfill the purpose of
the requested withdrawal.
Notice is hereby given that an opportunity for a public meeting is
afforded in connection with this withdrawal extension. All interested
parties who desire a public meeting for the purpose of being heard on
