SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Regulations found at 43 CFR 2091.3-1(e) and
2804.25(f) allow the BLM to temporarily segregate public lands within a
right-of-way application area for solar energy development from the
operation of the public land laws, including the Mining Law, by
publication of a Federal Register notice. The BLM uses this temporary
segregation authority to preserve its ability to approve, approve with
modifications, or deny proposed rights-of-way, and to facilitate the
orderly administration of the public lands. This temporary segregation
is subject to valid existing rights, including existing mining claims
located before this segregation notice. Licenses, permits, cooperative
agreements, or discretionary land use authorizations of a temporary
nature which would not impact lands identified in this notice may be
allowed with the approval of an authorized officer of the BLM during
the segregation period. The lands segregated under this notice are
legally described as follows:

land will automatically reopen to appropriation under the public land
laws, including the mining laws, at the earliest of the following
dates: Upon issuance of a decision by the authorized officer granting,
granting with modifications, or denying the application for a right-of-
way; without further administrative action at the end of the
segregation provided for in the Federal Register notice initiating the
segregation; or upon publication of a Federal Register notice
terminating the segregation.
Upon termination of the segregation of these lands, all lands
subject to this segregation would automatically reopen to appropriation
under the public land laws, including the mining laws.
