SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Egan RMP Proposed Oil and Gas Leasing 
Amendment was prepared to bring the original Egan RMP into conformance 
with the Supplemental Program Guidance (SPG) for Oil and Gas Resources 
(BLM Manual 1624). This plan amendment describes and analyzes the 
options for management of oil and gas leasing on 3,841,633 acres of 
public lands in portions of Nye, Lincoln and White Pine Counties, 
Nevada. Alternatives analyzed included: (1) Proposed Amendment; (2) 
Continuation of Present Management (No Action); and (3) Standard Terms 
and Conditions (of the lease instrument).

    The Approved Amendment allows 61 percent of the resource area to be 
open to leasing with standard leasing stipulations; 1.7 percent with No 
Surface Occupancy; 30.9 percent with Timing Limitations; and 6.4 
percent with No Leasing.
    In addition to the leasing determinations, the amendment describes 
the Standard Practices and Procedures (SPPs) for geophysical operations 
and Conditions of Approval (COAs) for exploratory and development 
drilling which will be enforced for each Notice of Intent (NOI) or 
Application for Permit to Drill (APD).
    The Approved Amendment and ROD has been mailed to all interested 
individuals, agencies, interest groups and organizations who have 
participated in or have shown an interest in this planning process.
