presented in the Draft EIS on subsistence activities, and to hold public hearings if it finds that any alternative may significantly restrict subsistence uses. The preliminary evaluation of subsistence impacts indicates that certain alternatives analyzed in the Draft EIS and the associated cumulative impacts may significantly restrict subsistence uses. Therefore, the BLM will hold a public hearing on subsistence resources and activities in conjunction with the public meeting on the Draft EIS in the potentially affected community of Kaktovik.
Upon completion of a Final EIS and Record of Decision, the BLM intends to conduct lease sales in accordance with Public Law 115–97.

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,
Arizona 85004 or faxed to 602–417– 9452. The BLM will not consider comments received via telephone calls.

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:
T. 6 N., R. 1 E.,
sec. 3, a portion of lot 10; sec. 10, S1⁄2NW1⁄4; sec. 15, SW1⁄4NE1⁄4.

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

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.

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).
