The areas described aggregate approximately 7,584 acres in
Churchill County.
The additional lands are needed to link the proposed withdrawal for
the B-17 electronic warfare area with non-Federal lands in Dixie Valley
acquired by the Navy. The area will be used for ground troop and
vehicular movement and visual cueing for aircraft flying at high speed.
This withdrawal will be authorized under the Act of February 28,
1958, 43 U.S.C. 155-158, and requires legislative action by Congress.
For a period of 90 days from the date of publication of this
notice, all persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or
objections in connection with the addition of lands to the proposed
withdrawal may present their views in writing to the Nevada State
Director of the Bureau of Land Management.
Notice is hereby given that an opportunity for a public meeting is
afforded in connection with the addition of lands to the proposed
withdrawal. All interested person who desire a public meeting for the
purpose of being heard on the proposal must submit a written request to
the Nevada State Director within 90 days from the date of publication
of this notice. Upon determination by the authorized officer that a
pubic meeting will be held, a notice of the time and place will be
published in the Federal Register at least 30 days before the scheduled
date of the meeting.
Two public meetings were held in June 1995 for the purpose of
scoping the environmental documentation to meet National Environmental
Policy Act requirements for the proposed withdrawal. The draft
environmental impact statement currently under preparation includes the
addition of the 7,584 acres described in this notice.
For a period of 2 years from the date of publication of this notice
in the Federal Register, the additional described lands will be
segregated , as specified above unless the application is denied or
canceled or the withdrawal is approved prior to that date. The
temporary uses which will be permitted during this segregative period
are rights-of-way, leases, permits, or discretionary land use
authorizations that do not significantly disturb the surface of the
land or impair values of the resources.
The temporary segregation of the additional land in connection with
the withdrawal application shall not affect administrative jurisdiction
over the land, and the segregation shall not have the effect of
authorizing any use of the land by the Department of the Navy.
Dated: January 19, 1996.

Lands Team Lead.
