PLO No. 7384 withdrew 1,988.27 acres of public lands from surface entry and mining to protect the Bureau of Reclamation’s (BOR) Lake Pleasant expansion area. This Notice advises the public of an opportunity to comment on the proposed withdrawal extension and to request a public meeting. The lands have been and will remain open to mineral leasing.

DATES: Comments and requests for a public meeting must be received by March 28, 2019.

ADDRESSES: All comments and meeting requests should be mailed to the Bureau of Land (BLM) Arizona State Office, One North Central, Suite 800, Phoenix,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BOR

has filed an application to extend, for an additional 20-year term, a withdrawal established by PLO No. 7384 (64 FR 19386) which will expire on April 19,

2019. The legal descriptions written in PLO No. 7384 are revised to reflect the Cadastral Survey’s Specifications for Descriptions of Land:

Gila and Salt River Meridian

T. 6 N., R. 1 E.,

sec. 3, a portion of lot 10; sec. 10, S¹⁄2NW¹⁄4; sec. 15, SW¹⁄4NE¹⁄4.

T. 6 N., R. 1 W., sec. 1, lots 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7, SW¹⁄4NE¹⁄4, E¹⁄2NW¹⁄4SE¹⁄4, and E¹⁄2SW¹⁄4SE¹⁄4; sec. 12, lot 1 and E¹⁄2NW¹⁄4NE¹⁄4; sec. 13, lots 1 thru 4, W¹⁄2NE¹⁄4, W¹⁄2SE¹⁄4, and that portion of the W¹⁄2 lying east of the east right-of-way of the Castle Hot Springs Road.

T. 7 N., R. 1 E., sec. 12, a portion of lot 2.

T. 7 N., R. 1 W., sec. 13, W¹⁄2SW¹⁄4SE¹⁄4 and

SW¹⁄4NW¹⁄4SE¹⁄4; sec. 23, E¹⁄2NE¹⁄4, E¹⁄2NW¹⁄4NE¹⁄4,

E¹⁄2SW¹⁄4NE¹⁄4, NE¹⁄4SE¹⁄4,

E¹⁄2NW¹⁄4SE¹⁄4, and S¹⁄2SE¹⁄4; sec. 24, W¹⁄2NW¹⁄4NE¹⁄4, W¹⁄2SW¹⁄4NE¹⁄4, and NW¹⁄4;

sec. 25, NE¹⁄4 and W¹⁄2.

The areas described aggregate 1,988.27 acres in Maricopa and Yavapai Counties. The proposed withdrawal would continue with the purpose established by PLO No. 7384 to protect the capital investments and dispersed recreation in the BOR’s Lake Pleasant Expansion area.

The use of a right-of-way, interagency agreement, or cooperative agreement would not provide adequate protection for the capital improvement investment that the BOR has made to the Lake

Pleasant expansion area.

No additional water rights are needed to fulfill the purpose of the requested withdrawal extension.

There are no suitable alternative sites since the land described contain the developed Lake Pleasant expansion area.

All persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with the proposed withdrawal extension may present their views in writing to the BLM.

Comments, including name and street address of respondents, will be available for public review stated in the ADDRESSES section above during regular business hours 08:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

Notice is hereby given that an opportunity for a public meeting is afforded in connection with the proposed withdrawal extension. All interested persons who desire a public meeting for the purpose of being heard on the proposed withdrawal extension must submit written request to the State Director, BLM Arizona State Office at the address in the ADDRESSES section, within 90 days from the publication of this Notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public’s reporting burden.

We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described below. We are especially interested in public comments addressing the following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper functions of the BLM; (2) will this information be processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how might the BLM enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the BLM minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use of information technology.

Abstract: Control number 1004–0058, as currently approved, authorizes the collection of information that assists the BLM in enforcing timber export and substitution prohibitions.

The BLM now requests that control number 1004–0058 be renewed and revised by adding 2 information collection activities that have been in use without a control number.

One addition, ‘‘Log Scale and

Disposition of Timber Removed Report,’’ requires purchasers of Federal timber to report volumes of timber removed from Federal lands, and to identify processors of timber. Like the previously approved information collection activities, this activity assists the BLM in enforcing timber export and substitution prohibitions.

The other addition, ‘‘Protests,’’ provides an opportunity to seek administrative remedies for forest management decisions.

Title of Collection: Forest

Management Decision Protest Process and Log Export and Substitution.

OMB Control Number: 1004–0058.

Form Numbers: 5450–17, 5460–15, and 5460–17.

Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.

Respondents/Affected Public: Purchasers of Federal timber, their affiliates, and any person who wishes to protest a BLM forest management decision. Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 325. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 325.

Estimated Completion Time per Response: Varies from 1 to 10 hours, depending on activity. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 550. Respondent’s Obligation: Required to Obtain or Retain a Benefit.

Frequency of Collection: On occasion.

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: $0.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq).

Information Collection Clearance Officer, Bureau of Land Management.
