Environmental Assessment, and Notification of Public Meeting; Nevada

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Withdrawal

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with Section 204 of the Federal Land Policy and 
Management Act of 1976, as amended (FLPMA), the Secretary of the 
Interior proposes to withdraw approximately 769,724 acres of Federal 
land in Churchill, Lyon, Mineral, Nye, and Pershing Counties, Nevada, 
for up to 4 years from all forms of appropriation

[[Page 19812]]

under the public land laws, including the mining laws, the mineral 
leasing laws, and the geothermal leasing laws, subject to valid 
existing rights. The petition/application also requests withdrawal of 
68,804 acres of Federal land in the Dixie Valley Training Area from the 
mineral leasing laws (not currently withdrawn from these laws under 
Section 3016 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 
Fiscal Year 2000 (NDAA 2000), subject to valid existing rights. In 
compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 
amended (NEPA), the BLM Carson City District Stillwater Field Office, 
Carson City, Nevada, has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) 
associated with the proposed withdrawal for Land Management Evaluation 
(LME) purposes, and by this Notice is announcing the EA's availability.

DATES: Comments on the proposed 4-year withdrawal including 
environmental consequences should be received on or before August 2, 
2018. In addition, a public meeting will be held on Tuesday June 19, 
2018, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Fallon Convention Center, 100 Campus 
Way, Fallon, Nevada 89406 to help the public understand the proposed 
withdrawal and the associated decision-making process.

ADDRESSES: Comments pertaining to this Notice or the proposed 
withdrawal for LME purposes, including environmental issues pertaining 
to the proposed LME withdrawal, should be submitted by any of the 
following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM and the Department of the Navy (DON) 
are engaged in evaluation of issues relating to the Navy's proposed 
training land range expansion and airspace modifications project of 
Naval Air Station Fallon, Fallon Range Training Complex, Nevada, 
pending the processing of the DON's application for withdrawal of 
Federal land for defense purposes under the Engle Act (Federal Register 
Notice 2016-20502) (81 FR 58919) and Federal Register Notice 2016-21213 
(81 FR 60736). In accordance with Section 204 of the FLPMA, 43 U.S.C. 
1714, and BLM regulations at 43 CFR part 2300, the BLM has filed a 
petition/application requesting the Secretary of the Interior to 
withdraw the area described below from all forms of appropriation under 
the public land laws, including the mining laws, the mineral leasing 
laws, and the geothermal leasing laws, for LME purposes, subject to 
valid existing rights, to support that evaluation. This application 
does not request reservation of the lands for the DON for defense 
purposes. The BLM's petition/application also requested the Secretary 
to withdraw 68,804 acres of subsurface in the Dixie Valley Training 
Area from the mineral leasing laws, for land management evaluation 
purposes, subject to valid existing rights. The BLM filed the petition/
application for withdrawal from the mining laws, the mineral leasing 
laws, and the geothermal leasing laws, for LME purposes, subject to 
valid existing rights in support of possible future transfer of the 
lands to DON jurisdiction by Congress in accordance with an application 
filed by the DON (see Federal Register Notice 2016-21213) (81 FR 
60736). The Secretary of the Interior therefore proposes to withdraw 
the lands described below in ``Expansion and Land Management 
Evaluation,'' for 4 years from operation of the public land laws, 
including the mining laws, the mineral leasing laws, and the geothermal 
leasing laws, for land management purposes, subject to valid existing 
rights. This notice and comment will allow opportunity for the BLM to 
receive input from the State of Nevada, potential stakeholders, and the 
local community in order to adequately address potential concerns about 
the overall size of the withdrawal expansion and the potential impacts 
to existing multiple uses and resources, including but not limited to 
critical and other minerals, geothermal resources, livestock grazing, 
and recreational access.
    The ``Expansion and Land Management Evaluation'' proposal would 
withdraw the following areas in Churchill, Lyon, Pershing, Mineral, and 
Nye Counties, Nevada, subject to valid existing rights as described 
below:
    The areas B-16, B-17, B-20 and the Dixie Valley Training Area 
aggregate 769,724 acres. Portions of these lands are unsurveyed and the 
acres were obtained from protraction diagrams information or calculated 
using Geographic Information System.

    Jurisdiction for the decision on this withdrawal proposal lies with 
the Secretary of the Interior, or an appropriate member of the Office 
of the Secretary, pursuant to Section 204 of FLPMA.
    The BLM's withdrawal petition/application and the records relating 
to the petition/application can be examined at the BLM Carson City 
District Office, 5665 Morgan Mill Road, Carson City, Nevada 89701, 
during regular business hours (7:30 a.m., to 4:30 p.m.), Monday through 
Friday, except Federal holidays.
    A copy of the legal descriptions and the maps depicting the lands 
proposed withdrawal for land management evaluation purposes are 
available for public inspection at the following offices:
    State Director, BLM Nevada State Office, 1430 Financial Boulevard, 
Reno, Nevada 89502
    District Manager, BLM Carson City District Office, 5665 Morgan Mill 
Road, Carson City, Nevada 89701
    For a period until August 2, 2018 all persons who wish to submit 
comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with the proposed 
withdrawal may present their comments in writing to the persons and 
offices listed in the ADDRESSES section above.
    All comments received will be considered before any final action is 
taken on the proposed withdrawal.
    For the proposed 4-year withdrawal for LME purposes, the BLM is the 
lead agency for NEPA compliance and with this Notice invites public 
review of the EA. Because of the nature of a withdrawal of public lands 
from operation of the public land laws, including the mining laws, the 
mineral leasing laws, and the geothermal leasing laws, for land 
management evaluation purposes, subject to valid existing rights, where 
the purpose of the withdrawal is to maintain the status quo of the 
lands, mitigation of the withdrawal's effects is not likely to be an 
issue requiring detailed analysis. However, consistent with Council on 
Environmental Quality regulations implementing NEPA (40 CFR 1502.14), 
the BLM will consider whether and what kind of mitigation measures may 
be appropriate to address the reasonably foreseeable impacts to 
resources from the approval of this proposed withdrawal for land 
management evaluation purposes.
    You may submit comments on the EA for LME purposes in writing to 
the BLM using one of the methods listed in the ADDRESSES section above. 
To be most helpful, you should submit comments by the date specified in 
the DATES section above. The BLM will use this NEPA public 
participation process to help satisfy the public involvement 
requirements under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation 
Act (NHPA) (16 U.S.C. 470(f)) pursuant to 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3). The 
information about historic and cultural resources within the area 
potentially affected by the proposed withdrawal for LME purposes will 
assist the BLM in identifying and evaluating impacts to such resources 
in the context of both NEPA and Section 106 of the NHPA.
    Comments including names and street addresses of respondents will 
be available for public review at the BLM address noted above, during 
regular business hours Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. 
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other 
personally identifiable information in your comment, you should be 
aware that your entire comment--including your personally identifiable 
information--may be publicly available at any time. While you can ask 
the BLM in your comment to withhold your personally identifiable 
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be 
able to do so.
    As the public land referenced in this Notice have already been 
segregated as described, licenses, permits, cooperative agreements, or 
discretionary land use authorizations may be allowed during the 
segregative period, but only with the approval of the authorized 
officer and, as appropriate, with the concurrence of the DON.
    The proposed withdrawal will be processed in accordance with the 
regulations set forth in 43 CFR part 2300.

    Authority:  43 CFR 2310.3-1
