Individuals in the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of
hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or Tele
Braille) to access telecommunications relay services. Individuals
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 withdrawal
extension is to protect the 140-acre electronic sites, identified as
the Gallinas Peak Electronic Site and the West Turkey Cone Electronic
Site, which are located within the Lincoln National Forest. The
withdrawal was originally authorized under PLO No. 7625 effective
February 17, 2005 (70 FR 8109), for an additional 20-year term and is
incorporated herein by reference.
The use of a right-of-way, interagency agreement, or cooperative
agreement would not provide adequate protection for this site.
There are no suitable alternative sites available.
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 12, 2024, at the address in the ADDRESSES section above. If
the Authorized Officer determines that there will be a public meeting,
a notice of the location, time, and place will be published in the
Federal Register and in 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, 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 in 43 CFR part 2300.
(Authority: 43 U.S.C. 1714)
Michael Gibson,
Acting State Director.
