SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Regulations found at 43 CFR 2091.3-1(e) and
43 CFR 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:

As provided in the regulations, the segregation of lands in this
notice will not exceed 2 years from the date of publication unless
extended for an additional 2 years through publication of a new notice
in the Federal Register. The segregation period will terminate and the
land will automatically reopen to appropriation under the public land
laws, including the mining laws, at the earliest of the following

granting with modifications, or denying the application for a right-of-

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.
