00-17567. Notice of Proposed Withdrawal and Opportunity for Public Meeting; Nevada

AGENCY:

Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION:

Notice.

SUMMARY:

This notice temporarily segregates 160,529.76 acres of Federal lands and 15,813.12 acres of federally reserved minerals, while various studies and analyses are made to support a final decision to withdraw the land for protection of resources for a 20-year period. This notice closes the Federal lands to surface entry, except for conveyance under section 206 of Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 or the Recreation and Public Purposes Act of 1926, and mining, but not to mineral leasing for up to 1 year. This notice closes the federally owned minerals to mining, but not to mineral leasing for up to 1 year. In addition, any non-Federal lands acquired through exchange, donation or purchase within the boundaries of the described plan area would be closed to surface entry and mining during the 1-year period. This segregation does not affect valid existing rights.

The Carson City Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management proposes to amend the Lahontan Resource Management Plan to address future management of these same lands. The resource management plan amendment process will serve as the basis for decisions on resource protection and development and the need for a withdrawal. The Bureau of Land Management and Washoe County are cooperating in the preparation of this resource management plan amendment.

DATES:

Comments should be received on or before October 10, 2000.

ADDRESSES:

Comments should be sent to the Nevada State Director, BLM, P.O. Box 12000, Reno, Nevada 89520 or the Manager, Carson City Field Office, 5665 Morgan Mill Road, Carson City, Nevada 89701.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

The purpose of the withdrawal is to protect resource values in the open and mountainous terrain in the southern Washoe County urban, suburban and rural residential area. Washoe County has recently developed an Open Space System that identifies a large acreage of public lands as having open space values. Much of this acreage is identified in BLM's resource management plan for disposal for community expansion. The joint land use plan amendment will address future management of these lands and the need for a protective withdrawal.

The withdrawal application will be processed in accordance with the regulations set forth in 43 CFR Part 2300. Notice is hereby given that a public meeting in connection with the proposed withdrawal will be held at a later date. A notice of the time and place will be published in the Federal Register 30 days before the scheduled date of the meeting.

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 proposed withdrawal may present their views in writing to either the State Director or Manager, Carson City Field Office.

For a period of 1 year from the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands will be segregated as specified above unless the application is denied or cancelled or the withdrawal is approved prior to that date. Rights-of-way, leases, permits and other discretionary temporary land uses will be considered by the authorized officer during this segregative period.

Dated: July 6, 2000.

Margaret L. Jensen,

Deputy State Director, Natural Resources, Lands, and Planning.
