SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BOP has filed an application requesting
the extension of the withdrawal and reservation of 70 acres established
by PLO No. 6493 (48 FR 56227), as extended by PLO No. 7474 (65 FR
80907), which are incorporated herein by reference. The BOP has
requested that the withdrawal be extended for an additional 20-year
term and the land reserved for use by the BOP for support facilities at
the Federal Correctional Institution-Phoenix, subject to valid existing
rights.
There are no suitable alternative sites available.
No water rights would be needed to fulfill the purpose of this
withdrawal extension.
Notice is hereby given that comments or request for an opportunity
for a public meeting is afforded in connection with this withdrawal
extension. All interested persons who desire a public meeting for the
purpose of being heard on the requested withdrawal extension must
submit a written request to the State Director, BLM Arizona State
Office at the address in the ADDRESSES section no later than November
15, 2022. If the BLM authorized officer determines that a public
meeting will be held, a notice of the date, time, and place will be
published in the Federal Register and a local newspaper at least 30
days before the scheduled date of the meeting.
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 personal identifying
information, may be made publicly available at any time. While you can
ask BLM in your comment to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be
able to do so.
A decision of the Secretary of the Interior to extend a withdrawal
as requested is subject to compliance with the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA). The BLM established a categorical exclusion (CX),
developed pursuant to NEPA, and found at 516 Departmental Manual
11.9(E)(1), that addresses extensions such as the one requested, which
consists merely of an extension of time, without any other changes. The
BLM anticipates reliance on the referenced CX, subject to extraordinary
circumstances review, should the Secretary elect to extend the
withdrawal, and anticipates that neither preparation of an
environmental impact statement nor an environmental assessment will be
necessary.
This application will be processed in accordance with the
regulations at 43 CFR 2310.4.
(Authority: 43 U.S.C. 1714(f))
Raymond Suazo,
State Director.
