Individuals in the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of
hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or Tele

outside the United States should use the relay services offered within
their country to make international calls to the point-of-contact in
the United States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the requested extension is to
protect the 80-acre Davenport Electronic Site within the Cibola
National Forest as originally authorized under PLO No. 7593 (69 FR
4172), for an additional 20-year term. This application affects the
following National Forest System land:
New Mexico Principal Meridian
T. 1 N., R. 10 W.,
Sec. 29, S1/2NW\1/4\.
The area described contains 80 acres.
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.
Notice is hereby given that the opportunity for a public meeting is
afforded in connection with the withdrawal application. 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 December 18, 2023, at the address in the ADDRESSES section above. If
the Authorized Officer determines that a public meeting will be held,
the BLM will publish a notice of the location, time, and place in the
Federal Register and in a local newspaper at least 30
[[Page 63973]]
days before the scheduled date of the meeting. 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,
