SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 2912(a)(1) of Public Law 113-66, 
enacted December 26, 2013, and known as the National Defense 
Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 (FY2014 NDAA), 
withdrew lands in the LHTA for military purposes based on a map dated 
April 10, 2013. The FY2014 NDAA required the Bureau of Land Management 
(BLM) to publish the official legal description of the lands in the 
Federal Register as soon as practicable after enactment of the 
legislation. The BLM could not use the April 10, 2013, map to create a 
legal description without an on-the-ground cadastral survey, and agreed 
to correct the map. Section 2850 of Public Law 115-232, enacted August 
13, 2018, and known as the NDAA for FY 2019 (FY2019 NDAA), references 
an updated map dated May 11, 2017, as a technical correction and the 
basis for the legal description.
    The legal description of the withdrawal for the LHTA is as follows:
