Withdrawal Application and Public Meeting for the Ruby Mountains; Nevada

AGENCY:

Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION:

Notice of withdrawal application.

SUMMARY:


[top] The United States Forest Service (USFS) has filed an application requesting that the Secretary of the Interior withdraw approximately 264,441.79 acres of Federal lands in the Ruby Mountains from leasing under the mineral and geothermal laws, for 20 years, subject to valid existing rights. The application also includes approximately 44,670.87 acres of non- page 107158 Federal lands that would be subject to the withdrawal if they are subsequently acquired by the United States. The purpose of the withdrawal would be to preserve the scenic values, recreational opportunities, outdoor economy, rare wildlife and plant habitat, and cultural resources that the Ruby Mountains and neighboring spaces support. The lands would remain open to location and entry under the U.S. mining laws, and subject to mineral material disposal under the Materials Act of 1947. Publication of this notice temporarily segregates the lands for up to 2 years, initiates a 90-day public comment period, and announces to the public an opportunity to comment and participate in a virtual public meeting on the USFS' withdrawal application.

DATES:

All comments must be received by March 31, 2025. In addition, the USFS and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will host a virtual public meeting addressing the USFS withdrawal application and associated environmental review process on February 14, 2025 at 2 p.m. PST. The BLM will publish the instructions for access to the online public meeting in the Elko Daily Free Press newspaper a minimum of 30 days prior to the meeting.

ADDRESSES:

All comments should be sent to the Bureau of Land Management, Nevada State Office, Attn: Edison Garcia/Ruby Mountain Withdrawal, 1340 Financial Blvd., Reno, NV 89502; or sent by email to edisongarcia@blm.gov. The BLM will not consider comments via telephone calls.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Edison Garcia, Land Law Examiner, Nevada State Office at (775) 861-6530; or you may contact the BLM office at the address noted above. Individuals in the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services. Individuals outside the United States should use the relay services offered within their country to make international calls to the point-of-contact in the United States. You will receive a reply during normal business hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The purpose of the withdrawal would be to preserve the scenic values, recreational opportunities, outdoor economy, rare wildlife and plant habitat, and cultural resources that the Ruby Mountains and neighboring spaces support, by removing these lands from leasing under the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq., as amended), the Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired Lands of 1947 (30 U.S.C. 351 et seq., as amended), the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 (30 U.S.C. 1001 et seq., as amended), and section 402 of the President's Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1946 (16 U.S.C. 520 and 16 U.S.C. 508b). Subject to overlapping withdrawals or segregations of record, the lands would remain open to location and entry under the U.S. mining laws, and subject to mineral material disposal under the Materials Act of 1947 (30 U.S.C. 601 et seq. ). The application requests the Secretary of the Interior to withdraw the following Federal lands and interests in lands. In addition, the application requests that any non-Federal lands or interests in lands within the withdrawal application area acquired by the United States in the future also be subject to the withdrawal upon acquisition by the United States:
