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
[[Page 17006]]
existing rights, including existing mining claims located before this
segregation notice. Licenses, permits, cooperative agreements, or
discretionary land use authorizations of a temporary nature that 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:
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 22 S., R. 54 E.,
secs. 11, 12, and 13;
sec. 14, NE\1/4\;

The area described contains 5,281.41 acres, according to the

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
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.
