outside the United States should use the relay services offered within
their country to make international calls to the point-of-contact in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USFS filed an application requesting
extension of the withdrawal established by PLO No. 7587 (58 FR 11968),
which is incorporated herein by reference. PLO No. 7587 withdrew 852
acres of National Forest System lands in Socorro County, New Mexico,
from location and
[[Page 38891]]
entry under the United States mining laws, subject to valid existing
rights, to protect the USFS-managed research site for a period of 20
years. The withdrawal created by PLO No. 7587 will expire on October
26, 2023, unless extended.
The purpose of the requested extension is to protect, as originally
authorized under PLO No. 7587, the 852-acre area for the use of the
Langmuir Principal Research Site on the Magdalena Ranger District of
the Cibola National Forest for an additional 20-year term.
The use of a rights-of-way, interagency agreement, or cooperative
agreement would not provide adequate protection for this site.
There are no suitable alternative sites available which would
facilitate this type of research.
No water rights will be needed to fulfill the purpose of the
requested withdrawal.
All interested persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or
objections in connection with the withdrawal extension application, or
to request a public meeting, may submit a written request to the
Regional Forester by September 12, 2023, at the address in ADDRESSES.
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or
other personal identifying information in your comment, be advised that
your entire comment--including your personal identifying information--
may be made publicly available at any time. While you may ask the BLM
in your comment to withhold from your personal identifying information
from the public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do
so.
This application will be processed in accordance with the
regulations set-forth in 43 CFR 2310.4.
(Authority: 43 U.S.C. 1714)
Melanie G. Barnes,
State Director.
