SUMMARY: On behalf of the United States Department of Agriculture, the
United States Forest Service (USFS) filed an application with the
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) requesting the Secretary of the
Interior extend Public Land Order (PLO) No. 6560 for an additional 20-
year term. PLO No. 6560 as extended by PLO No. 7610 withdrew 59.99
acres of public domain land outside the exterior boundary of the
Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest in Beaverhead County, Montana from
settlement, sale, location, or entry under the general land laws,
including the mining laws and transferred administrative jurisdiction
to the USFS, subject to valid existing rights, to protect the USFS-
managed administrative site. The withdrawal created by PLO No. 6560 as
extended will expire on August 5, 2024, unless extended. This notice
announces to the public an opportunity to comment on the USFS
application.
DATES: Comments must be received by October 5, 2023.
ADDRESSES: All written comments should be sent to the Office of the
Regional Forester, Northern Region, 26 Fort Missoula Road, Missoula
Montana 59804.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USFS filed an application requesting
extension of the withdrawal established by PLO No. 6560 (49 FR 32068
(1984)) as extended by PLO No. 7610 (69 FR 50213 (2004)), which
withdrew 59.99 acres of public lands in Beaverhead County, Montana,
from settlement, sale, location, or entry under the general land laws,
including the mining laws (30 U.S.C. ch. 2), subject to valid existing
rights, for a 20-year term. PLO No. 6560 is incorporated herein by
reference.
The purpose of the proposed extension is to protect the USFS-
managed facilities and capital improvements from surface entry and
mining within the Wisdom Administrative Site.
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 administrative sites available.
No water rights will be needed to fulfill the purpose of the
withdrawal.
All interested persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or
objections in connection with the withdrawal extension application may
submit a written request to the Regional Forester by October 5, 2023,
at the address in the ADDRESSES section earlier.
Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents, will
be available for public review at Region One, 26 Fort Missoula Road,
Missoula, Montana 59804, during regular business hours.
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 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.
