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 wind 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
