Notice of Proposed Withdrawal Extension, Sacramento Pass 
Recreation Area; Nevada

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Policy, Management 
and Budget proposes to extend the duration of Public Land Order (PLO) 
No. 7060 for an additional 20-year term. PLO No. 7060 withdrew 464.93 
acres of public land from settlement, sale, location, or entry under 
the general land laws, including the United States mining laws, but not 
from leasing under the mineral leasing laws, to protect the Sacramento 
Pass Recreation Area (SPRA) in White Pine County, Nevada. This notice 
gives the public an opportunity to comment on the proposed extension 
and to request a public meeting.

DATES: For a period of 90 days from the date of publication of this 
notice, all persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, 
objections, or request a public meeting in connection with the proposed 
withdrawal extension may do so in writing until January 27, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting requests should be sent to the District 
Manager, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Ely District Office, HC33 Box 
33500, 702 North Industrial Way, Ely, Nevada 89301.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elena Montenegro-Long, BLM, Schell 
Field Office at 775-289-1800, or email [email protected]. Persons who 
use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal 
Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 to reach the BLM. 
The FIRS is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to leave a message 
or question with the above individual. You will receive a reply during 
normal business hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM has filed an application to extend 
the withdrawal established by PLO No. 7060 (59 FR 28790 (1994)), for an 
additional 20-year term. PLO No. 7060 will expire on June 2, 2014, 
unless extended. PLO No. 7060 is incorporated herein by reference. The 
land withdrawn by PLO No. 7060 is located about 50 miles east of Ely, 
Nevada, along State Highway 50. The purpose of the withdrawal extension 
is to continue to protect a developed campground consisting of picnic 
facilities, camping areas, vaulted toilets, walking trails, and 
trailhead access for dispersed recreation opportunities such as hiking, 
horseback riding, and low-impact camping.
    The use of a right-of-way, interagency agreement, or cooperative 
agreement would not provide adequate protection for the capital 
improvement investment that the BLM has made in the SPRA.
    No additional water rights would be needed to fulfill the purpose 
of the requested withdrawal extension.
    There are no suitable alternative sites since the land described 
contains the developed campground and improvements of interest for 
protection.
    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 Ely District Office at the address in the 
ADDRESSES section. Comments, including names and street addresses of 
respondents, will be available for public review at the BLM Ely 
District Office, during regular business hours, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 
Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
    Before including your address, phone number, email address, or 
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be 
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying 
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can 
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying 
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be 
able to do so.
    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 a written 
request to the District Manager, BLM Ely District Office at the address 
in the ADDRESSES section, within 90 days from the date of publication 
of this notice. If the authorized officer determines that public 
meeting will be held, a notice of the date, time, and place will be 
published in the Federal Register and local newspapers and also posted 
on the BLM Web site at: http://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/fo/ely_field_office.html at least 30 days before the scheduled date of the meeting.
    The application will be processed in accordance with the 
regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2310.4.

Marci L. Todd,
Nevada Associate State Director.
