lands from settlement, sale, location, or entry under the general land
laws, including the United States mining laws, subject to valid
existing rights, to protect and preserve significant recreational,
scenic, riparian, historic, and wildlife resources along the Sweetwater
River in Fremont County, Wyoming. This notice advises the public of an
opportunity to comment on the proposed 20-year withdrawal extension and
to request a public meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The withdrawal established by PLO No. 7546
(67 FR 72970; December 9, 2002) is incorporated herein by reference and
will expire on December 8, 2022, unless the withdrawal is extended. At
the request of the BLM, the Secretary is proposing to extend PLO No.

allow the BLM to continue to protect and preserve the recreational,
scenic, riparian, historic, and wildlife resources on 4,943.13 acres,
covering about 9.7 miles around the Sweetwater River. Among other
things, the Sweetwater River played a significant role in the Oregon,
Mormon Pioneer, California, and Pony Express historic trails.

other Federal lands in the area containing or replicating these
recreational and other values.
No water rights would be needed to fulfill the purpose of this
withdrawal extension.

available for public review at the BLM Wyoming State Office, 5353

Before including your address, phone number, email address, or
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be
aware that your entire comment--including your personally identifying
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you may
ask the BLM in your comment to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be
able to do so.
Notice is hereby given that an opportunity for a public meeting is
afforded in connection with the proposed withdrawal extension. All
interested persons who desire a public meeting for the purpose of being
heard on the proposed withdrawal extension must submit a written
request to the State Director, BLM Wyoming State Office, at the address
in the ADDRESSES section, within 90 days from the date of publication

with the regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2310.4.
