DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Amended Land Description for Plan Amendment and Recreation and
Public Purposes Act Classification: Churchill County, NV
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Change to May 21, 1996; Notice of Intent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Based on public comments received in response to BLM's May 21,
1996 Notice of Intent to Prepare a Planning Amendment to the Lahontan
Resource Management Plan, the City of Fallon has applied for a new
location for the proposed landfill within the public land described as:
T. 16 N., R. 29 E., MDM, NV
Sec. 20, E\1/2\E\1/2\, NW\1/4\NE\1/4\ (unsurveyed).
Sec. 21, All (unsurveyed). (Containing 840 acres)
This land has been examined and determined to be suitable for
classification pursuant to the Recreation and Public Purposes Act of
1926, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.). This public land is within an
area currently identified in the Lahontan Resource Management Plan
(RMP) for retention in federal ownership for multiple uses. The Bureau
of Land Management will consider amending the RMP to change the land
designation in this area from retention status to disposal status. The
amendment and associated environmental document will also analyze the
suitability of conveyance of approximately 300 acres of the land to the
City of Fallon for use as a landfill. Conveyance may only occur if the
plan amendment is approved. No further consideration will be given to
changing the land tenure designation on the public land surrounding
Russell Spit, as described in our Federal Register notice of May 21,
1996.
SEGREGATION: This land is hereby segregated from all forms of
appropriation under the public land laws, including the general mining
laws, except for conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes
Act and leasing under the mineral leasing laws. Pending a decision on
plan amendment and action on the City of Fallon's Recreation and Public
Purposes application, this segregation shall continue for a period of
18 months or until a conveyance document is issued or an opening order
is published in the Federal Register, whichever occurs first.
DATES AND ADDRESSES: For a period of 30 days from the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, interested persons
may submit comments regarding the proposed plan amendment to the
District Manager, Carson City District Office, 1535 Hot Springs Road,
Suite 300, Carson City, Nevada 89706. Comments regarding the land
classification will be accepted for a period of 45 days. Any objections
to the classification will be evaluated by the State Director. In the
absence of any objections, the classification will become effective 60
days from the date of publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
All other information presented in the Notice of May 21, 1996
remains unchanged.
Dated this 7th day of August, 1996.
John O. Singlaub,
District Manager.
