Interested parties may submit comments to the Field Manager, CFO. The competitive sale will be held at the BLM, CFO. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The land sale is in conformance with the BLM Carlsbad Resource Management Plan and Amendment dated 1997, and the public interest will be served by offering this land for sale. The land is hereby classified for disposal in accordance with Executive Order No. 6910, and with Section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act, 43 U.S.C. 315F. The proposed land will be put up for sale by competitive auction on March 19, 2007. The auction will be held in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 203 of the FLPMA (43 U.S.C. 1713), and its implementing regulations, 43 CFR part 2710 and 2711, at not less than the FMV for the parcel. The appraised market value of the subject property is $20,850.00 (twenty thousand eight hundred fifty dollars and no cents). The purpose of this sale is to dispose a tract of land that will serve important public objectives, including but not limited to, expansion of communities and economic development, which cannot be achieved prudently or feasibly on land other than public land. The sale of this land outweighs other public objectives and values, including, but not limited to, recreation and scenic values, which would be served by maintaining such tract in Federal ownership. No significant resource values will be affected by this transfer. The locatable, salable, and leasable mineral rights will be reserved by the United States and not conveyed with the surface estate. The disposal would not generate any adverse energy impacts or limit energy production and distribution. In accordance with 43 CFR 4120.3-6, the grazing permittee has waived his rights to continue grazing the subject lands for a 2-year period and to compensation for his investments in authorized range improvements. Therefore, the patent will not be issued subject to a grazing permit or any authorized range improvements. Upon publication of this notice in the **Federal Register** , the above described land will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the general mining laws and leasing under the mineral leasing laws. Upon publication of this notice and until completion of the sale, the BLM will no longer accept land use applications affecting the parcel identified for sale. The segregative effect of this notice shall terminate upon issuance of patent, upon publication in the **Federal Register** of a termination of the segregation or 2 years from the date of publication, whichever occurs first. *Sale Procedures:* Federal law requires all bidders must be

(a)United States citizens and 18 years of age or older;

(b)a corporation subject to the laws of any State or of the United States;

(c)a State, State instrumentality, or political subdivision authorized to hold property; or

(d)an entity legally capable of conveying and holding lands or interests therein under the laws of the State of New Mexico. Certification of qualifications, including citizenship, corporation or partnership, must accompany the bid deposit. Bids must be made by the principal or his duly qualified agent. Certifications of Qualification forms are available at the BLM, Carlsbad Field Office at the above address or by calling

(505)234-5972. Sealed bids shall be considered only if received at the BLM, Carlsbad Field Office, 620 East Greene, Carlsbad, New Mexico 88220 by no later than 4:30 p.m., MST on March 16, 2007. Each sealed bid shall be enclosed in a sealed envelope, and include a completed sealed bid form, accompanied by a certified check, postal money order, bank draft, or cashier's check made payable to the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management for not less than 10 percent or more than 30 percent of the bid amount. Sealed bids of less than the appraised FMV will be rejected. The highest qualified sealed bid received shall be publicly declared and will become the starting point for the oral auction. In the event that two or more sealed bids are received containing valid bids of the same amount, the determination of which is to be considered the highest designated bid will be by supplemental oral bidding. In the event that neither originator of a submitted valid bid of the same amount is present on the day of the sale a coin will be tossed to determine which of the two identical bids will be considered the highest designated bid to use as the starting point for supplemental oral bidding. If no sealed bids are received, oral bidding will begin at the appraised FMV. Oral bid increments will be a minimum of $500. The highest qualifying bid for the parcel, whether sealed or oral, will be declared the high bid. The high bidder, if an oral bidder, must submit the full deposit amount by 4:30 p.m. MST on the day of the sale in the form of cash, personal check, bank draft, cashiers check, money order or any combination thereof, made payable to the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, for not less than 20 percent of the amount of the successful bid. Should the high bidder default, the next high qualified bidder for the parcel will be declared the high bidder. The successful bidder, whether sealed or oral, shall submit the remainder of the full bid price prior to the expiration of 180 days from the date of the sale in the form of cash, personal check, bank draft, cashier's check, money order or any combination thereof, made payable to the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management. Failure to submit the full bid price prior to, but not including the 180th day following the day of the sale, shall result in cancellation of the sale and the deposit shall be forfeited. *Additional Information:* The BLM may accept or reject any or all offers, or withdraw any parcel of land or interest therein from sale, if, in the opinion of the authorized officer, consummation of the sale would not be fully consistent with FLPMA or other applicable laws. If not sold, the parcel may be identified for sale at a later date without further legal notice. In order to establish the FMV for the subject public land through appraisal, certain assumptions have been made of the attitudes and limitations of the land and potential effects of local regulations and policies on potential future land uses. Through publication of this notice, the BLM gives notice that these assumptions may not be endorsed or approved by units of local government. It is the buyer's responsibility to be aware of all applicable local government policies, laws, and regulations that would affect the subject lands, including any required dedication of lands for public uses. No warranty of any kind shall be given or implied by the United States as to the potential uses of the lands offered for sale. Furthermore, conveyance of the subject lands will not be on a contingency basis. It is the buyer's responsibility to be aware of all applicable local government policies and regulations that would affect the subject lands. It is also the buyer's responsibility to be aware of existing or projected use of neighboring and nearby properties. When conveyed out of Federal ownership, the lands will be subject to any applicable reviews and approvals by the respective unit of local government for proposed future uses, and any such reviews and approvals would be the responsibility of the buyer.

ACTION: Notice of Intent to prepare the National Mall Plan, Washington, DC. SUMMARY: In accordance with section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the National Park Service

(NPS)will be preparing a National Mall Plan to provide a long-term vision plan for the use and management of the National Mall, which has been defined by Congress as a “substantially completed work of civic art,” and Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Park. DATES: Information related to ongoing public involvement opportunities will be provided at the following park Web site: *http://www.nps.gov/nationalmallplan.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The planning effort will result in a National Mall Plan that differs from a General Management Plan in that it covers a longer-term time frame and addresses a finer level of detail. While National Mall & Memorial Parks includes many national park units throughout the Nation's Capital, this plan will address only the National Mall, which is comprised of West Potomac Park, the Washington Monument and the Mall, and the related Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Park. A map of the study area is available at *http://www.nps.gov/nationalmallplan.* In cooperation with the agencies with jurisdiction over properties adjoining the National Mall, attention will also be given to impacts outside its boundaries that affect the integrity of the park. Public involvement and civic engagement will be key components in the preparation of the National Mall Plan. Public scoping will help to identify alternatives and major issues to be considered. The plan will identify types and locations, and character of needed visitor facilities and services, which could include food service, seating, lighting, restrooms and crowd controls, etc. The plan could also identify desired site improvements, such as floral displays, fountains, and other embellishments that are not commemorative in nature. Additional planning issues may be defined during scoping.

Extension of the Comment Period and Scheduling of an Additional Public Meeting On November 22 and December 1, 2006, OSM and the Environmental Protection Agency respectively published in the **Federal Register** notices announcing availability of the Black Mesa Project draft EIS for comment (71 FR 67637 and 71 FR 69562). In the former notice, OSM announced a comment period closing date of January 22, 2007, and the locations, dates, and times for 11 public meetings that will be held from January 2 through 11, 2007. Subsequent to the publishing of the notices OSM received requests to extend the comment period and a request to reschedule one of the meetings. In consideration of the comment period extension requests, OSM is extending the comment period for 15 days to February 6, 2007. In consideration of the request to reschedule the public meeting in Leupp, Arizona, that was originally announced for January 9, 2007, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Leupp Chapter House, OSM has decided to hold the meeting as planned and to also hold another meeting at the same location on January 11, 2007, from noon to 4 p.m. II. Background on the Black Mesa Project EIS Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), OSM prepared a draft EIS analyzing the effects of the proposed Black Mesa Project. The proposed Project consists of Peabody Western Coal Company's operation and reclamation plans for coal mining at the Black Mesa Mine Complex near Kayenta, Arizona; Black Mesa Pipeline Incorporated's (BMPI's) Coal Slurry Preparation Plant at the Black Mesa Mine Complex; BMPI's reconstruction of the 273-mile long Coal Slurry Pipeline across northern Arizona from the Coal Slurry Preparation Plant to the Mohave Generating Station in Laughlin, Nevada; and Salt River Project's and Mohave Generation Station co-owners' construction and operation of a water supply system consisting of water wells in the Coconino aquifer (C aquifer) near Leupp, Arizona, and of a water supply pipeline running 108 miles across the Navajo and Hopi Reservations from the wells to the Coal Slurry Preparation Plant. More information about the project and EIS can be found on OSM's Internet Web site at *http://www.wrcc.osmre.gov/WR/BlackMesaEIS.htm.* III. Availability of Your Comments for Public Review Our practice is to make comments, including names and home addresses, home phone numbers, and e-mail addresses of respondents, available for public review. Individual respondents may request that we withhold their names and/or home addresses, etc., but if you wish us to consider withholding this information you must state this prominently at the beginning of your comments and submit your comments by regular mail, not by e-mail. In addition, you must present a rationale for withholding this information. This rationale must demonstrate that disclosure would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy. Unsupported assertions will not meet this burden. In the absence of exceptional, documentable circumstances, this information will be released. We will always make submissions from organizations or businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, available for public inspection in their entirety.
