In addition, the Western Regional Office, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), has requested that the Secretary of the Interior permanently withdraw and transfer some of these relinquished lands, as well as other existing public lands, as an addition to the Walker River Paiute Reservation under the authority of the Act of June 22, 1936.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BOR, Lahontan Basin Area Office, has
submitted a notice of intent to relinquish administration of certain
lands withdrawn for BOR Newlands Project purposes and described below.
These lands were part of the larger Truckee-Carson Project withdrawal
established by Secretary's Order dated November 26, 1906, which
withdrew all lands within one mile of the highwater mark of Walker Lake
in Mineral County, Nevada. The subject land was omitted from the legal
description in a Secretary's Order dated May 25, 1942, that revoked the
1906 withdrawal order. These lands are no longer needed by the BOR for
project purposes. The BLM has determined the lands are suitable for
restoration to the public domain.
In addition, the Western Regional Office, BIA, has submitted an
application for the BLM to process on behalf of the Secretary the
permanent withdrawal and transfer of some of these relinquished lands
into trust as an addition to the Walker River Paiute Reservation under
the authority of Public Law 74-748 (49 Stat. 1806), dated June 22, 1936
(1936 Act). Once restored to the public domain, the lands would be
identified as public land inholdings surrounded by Reservation lands
that may be administratively transferred to the Walker River Paiute
Tribe as an addition to the Reservation under the 1936 Act, upon
approval by the Secretary of the Interior. Some acres identified for
relinquishment by the BOR overlap with a previous withdrawal for the
Reservation; these acres would transfer to Tribal management upon
Secretarial revocation of the BOR withdrawal. The BIA has also
requested the withdrawal and transfer into trust of additional public
lands, as described below.
BOR withdrawn lands identified for relinquishment are described as
follows:
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 12 N., R. 28 E.,
Sec. 25, lot 4.
T. 11 N., R. 29 E.,
Sec. 9, NE\1/4\SW\1/4\;
Sec. 18, NE\1/4\NE\1/4\.
The areas described aggregate 109.60 acres.
Public lands subject to withdrawal and transfer as an addition to
the Walker River Indian Reservation, to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Walker River Paiute Tribe, under the 1936 Act, are
described as follows:
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 12 N., R. 28 E.,
Sec. 25, lot 4.
T. 11 N., R. 29 E.,
Sec. 18, NE\1/4\NE\1/4\.
T. 12 N., R. 29 E.,
Sec. 27, lots 1 and 2, and SE\1/4\SE\1/4\.
The areas described aggregate 173.25 acres.
For a period until August 7, 2024, persons who wish to submit
comments regarding the proposed action may present their views in
writing to the address listed in the ADDRESSES section above.
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you may
ask the BLM in your comment to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be
able to do so.
The BOR lands described in this notice will remain withdrawn from
entry under the United States mining laws while the proposed action is
being processed. All activities on the BLM managed lands currently
consistent with the Carson City Field Office May 2001 Consolidated
Resource Management Plan, as amended, are authorized to continue,
including public recreation and other activities compatible with
preservation of the character of the area, subject to BLM discretionary
approval, until such time as the Secretary issues a decision on the
proposed action.
(Authority: 43 U.S.C. 1714 and Pub. L. 74-748, June 22, 1936)

State Director.
