DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Forest Service
Superior National Forest; Minnesota;
Rainy River Withdrawal Environmental
Assessment
Forest Service, Agriculture
(USDA).
ACTION: Notice to extend comment
period.
AGENCY:

The Forest Service, U.S.
Department of Agriculture, has prepared
an environmental assessment to support
its application for a 20-year withdrawal
of the Rainy River watershed from
disposition of Federally owned minerals
under United States mineral and
geothermal leasing laws. The intent of
the requested withdrawal is to protect
and preserve natural and cultural
resources in the Rainy River watershed,
including the Boundary Waters Canoe
Area Wilderness (BWCAW), Mining
Protection Area (MPA), and the 1854
Ceded Territory, from the known and
potential adverse environmental
impacts arising from exploration and
development of Federally owned
minerals. This notice is to inform the
public that the Forest Service is
extending the opportunity to comment
on the environmental assessment by 15
days.
DATES: Comments concerning the
environmental assessment must be
received by Friday, August 12, 2022.
ADDRESSES: The environmental
assessment and supporting documents
are available on the project web page at
http://go.usa.gov/xtaCw. Electronic
comments are preferred through the
project website at https://go.usa.gov/
xuH43. Comments may also be sent
electronically to comments-easternsuperior@usda.gov. Written comments
may be sent to Forest Headquarters,
8901 Grand Avenue Place, Duluth, MN
55808.

Purpose and Need for Action
The purpose of the requested
withdrawal is to protect and preserve
natural and cultural resources in the
Rainy River watershed, including the
BWCAW, MPA, and the 1854 Ceded
Territory, from the known and potential
adverse environmental impacts arising
from exploration and development of
Federally owned minerals. The
withdrawal is needed because the Forest
Service and the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) have seen and can
reasonably anticipate increasing interest
within the private sector for developing
the copper-nickel ore minerals in the
Duluth Complex that may adversely
impact the Rainy River watershed.
Proposed Action
The Secretary of the Interior would
issue a public land order, and
approximately 225,504 acres of National
Forest System lands in the Rainy River
watershed would be withdrawn from
disposition under the United States
mineral and geothermal leasing laws for
a 20-year term, subject to valid existing
rights. The withdrawal would restrict
the BLM from processing or issuing new
hardrock prospecting permits and
mineral leases on National Forest
System lands in the withdrawal
boundary. However, the withdrawal
would not prohibit ongoing or future
exploration or mining extraction
operations on valid existing rights, as
determined by the BLM.
The withdrawal would not prohibit
activities on non-federal (surface and
mineral) ownerships. State, county, and
private mineral interests could continue
to exercise their ownership rights.
However, if fee simple title of these
lands and minerals were acquired by the
United States during the withdrawal
period, through means such as purchase
or exchange to be managed by the Forest
Service, such acquisitions would be
subject to the withdrawal. Partial federal
mineral interests, where the Federal
government owns less than 100 percent
of the mineral estate, would also not be
affected by the withdrawal. No other
management changes would be made
affecting access to private inholdings,
federal mineral material operations
(sand, gravel, and dimension stone), or
management of other forest resources
such as timber, wildlife, and recreation.
Lead and Cooperating Agencies
The Forest Service is the lead agency
for preparing the environmental
assessment. The BLM is a cooperating
agency for the NEPA analysis (40 CFR
1508.1(e)). The BLM will independently
evaluate and review the analysis and

any other documents needed for the
Secretary of the Interior to make a
decision on the requested withdrawal.
Responsible Official
The Secretary of the Interior is the
decision-maker for the requested
withdrawal.
How To Comment
Comments may be submitted in
electronic (preferred) or hard-copy form
to the website or addresses provided in
the ADDRESSES section of this notice. It
is important that reviewers provide their
comments at such times and in such
manner that they are useful to the
agency’s preparation of the
environmental assessment. Therefore,
comments should be provided prior to
the close of the comment period and
should clearly articulate the reviewer’s
concerns and contentions.
The proposed withdrawal is not
subject to Forest Service objection
procedures at 36 CFR 218 because the
decision to be made is by the Secretary
of the Interior.

Abstract: The Rural Electrification Act

U.S.C. 901 et seq.), authorizes and
empowers the Administrator of RUS to
make loans in the several United States
and Territories of the United States for
rural Electrification and the furnishing
of electric energy to persons in rural
areas who are not receiving central
station service. The RE Act also
authorizes and empowers the
Administrator of RUS to provide
financial assistance to borrowers for
purposes provided in the RE Act by
accommodating or subordinating loans
made by the national Rural Utilities
Cooperative Finance Corporation, the
Federal Financing Bank, and other
lending agencies. Title 7 CFR part 1717,
subparts R & S sets forth policy and
procedures to facilitate and support
borrowers’ efforts to obtain private
sector financing of their capital needs,
to allow borrowers greater flexibility in
the management of their business affairs
without compromising RUS loan
security, and to reduce the cost to
borrowers, in terms of time, expenses
and paperwork, of obtaining lien
accommodations and subordinations.
The information required to be
submitted is limited to necessary
information that would allow the
Agency to make a determination on the
borrower’s request to subordinate and
accommodate their lien with other
lenders.
Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
