SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Federal Register Correction
In the Federal Register of August 31, 2018 (83 FR 44654), on page
44657, in the third column, correct Sec. 24 to read as follows:
Sec. 24, those portions of lots 1 and 2 lying north of the

Extension of Duration of Withdrawal
PLO No. 7873 withdrew 694,838.84 acres of Federal land in
Churchill, Lyon, Mineral, Nye, and Pershing Counties, Nevada, for up to
4 years from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws,
including location and entry under the United States mining laws, and
leasing under the mineral and geothermal leasing laws, subject to valid
existing rights. The purpose of this withdrawal extension is to
maintain the current environmental baseline, relative to mining,
mineral exploration and development, and geothermal energy development
for land management evaluation purposes. The extension of PLO No. 7873
includes 68,809.44 acres of Federal land in the Dixie Valley Training
Area from the mineral leasing laws (not currently withdrawn from these
laws under Section 3016 of the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2000, Pub. L. 106-
65), to maintain the current environmental baseline, relative to
mineral exploration and development for land management evaluation
purposes, subject to valid existing rights.
Including the 8,722.47 acres of Department of the Navy (DON) lands,
the total Federal land included in the withdrawal extension is
772,370.75 acres. Non-Federal lands totaling 66,160.53 acres are
described within the withdrawal area. Any current or future Federal
estate interest in these non-Federal lands is subject to this
withdrawal.
The purpose for which the withdrawal was first made requires this
extension because the BLM and the DON are engaged in the evaluation of
issues relating to possible future legislative transfer of the subject
land to the jurisdiction of the DON in connection with the DON's
modernization of Naval Air Station Fallon, Fallon Range Training
Complex, Nevada (FRTC). The DON anticipates requesting a legislative
withdrawal of these additional lands and requested that the Department
of the Interior extend PLO No. 7873 withdrawal an additional 4 years.
PLO No. 7873 is incorporated by reference (83 FR 44654).
Order
By virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of the Interior
by Section 204 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976,
43 U.S.C. 1714, it is ordered as follows:
1. Subject to valid existing rights, PLO No. 7873, which withdrew
694,838.84 acres of public land from all forms of appropriation under
the public land laws and 68,809.44 acres of Federal land in the Dixie
Valley area from leasing under the mineral leasing laws, including the
8,722.47 acres of Department of the Navy (DON) lands, totaling
772,370.75 acres of Federal land is hereby extended for an additional
4-year period. Non-Federal lands totaling 66,160.53 acres are described
within the withdrawal area. Any current or future Federal estate
interest in these non-Federal lands is subject to this withdrawal
extension.
2. The withdrawal extended by this order will expire on August 23,
2026,
[[Page 39123]]
unless, as a result of review conducted before the expiration date
pursuant to Section 204(f) of the Federal Land Policy and Management
Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1714 (f), the Secretary determines that the
withdrawal shall be further extended.
(Authority: 43 U.S.C. 1714)

Assistant Secretary for Water and Science.
