Abstract
The United States Forest Service (USFS) has filed an application requesting that the Secretary of the Interior withdraw approximately 264,441.79 acres of Federal lands in the Ruby Mountains from leasing under the mineral and geothermal laws, for 20 years, subject to valid existing rights. The application also includes approximately 44,670.87 acres of non- Federal lands that would be subject to the withdrawal if they are subsequently acquired by the United States. The purpose of the withdrawal would be to preserve the scenic values, recreational opportunities, outdoor economy, rare wildlife and plant habitat, and cultural resources that the Ruby Mountains and neighboring spaces support. The lands would remain open to location and entry under the U.S. mining laws, and subject to mineral material disposal under the Materials Act of 1947. Publication of this notice temporarily segregates the lands for up to 2 years, initiates a 90-day public comment period, and announces to the public an opportunity to comment and participate in a virtual public meeting on the USFS' withdrawal application.

Nevada
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of withdrawal application.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The United States Forest Service (USFS) has filed an
application requesting that the Secretary of the Interior withdraw
approximately 264,441.79 acres of Federal lands in the Ruby Mountains
from leasing under the mineral and geothermal laws, for 20 years,
subject to valid existing rights. The application also includes
approximately 44,670.87 acres of non-
[[Page 107158]]
Federal lands that would be subject to the withdrawal if they are
subsequently acquired by the United States. The purpose of the
withdrawal would be to preserve the scenic values, recreational
opportunities, outdoor economy, rare wildlife and plant habitat, and
cultural resources that the Ruby Mountains and neighboring spaces
support. The lands would remain open to location and entry under the
U.S. mining laws, and subject to mineral material disposal under the
Materials Act of 1947. Publication of this notice temporarily
segregates the lands for up to 2 years, initiates a 90-day public
comment period, and announces to the public an opportunity to comment
and participate in a virtual public meeting on the USFS' withdrawal
application.
DATES: All comments must be received by March 31, 2025. In addition,
the USFS and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will host a virtual
public meeting addressing the USFS withdrawal application and
associated environmental review process on February 14, 2025 at 2 p.m.
PST. The BLM will publish the instructions for access to the online
public meeting in the Elko Daily Free Press newspaper a minimum of 30
days prior to the meeting.
ADDRESSES: All comments should be sent to the Bureau of Land
Management, Nevada State Office, Attn: Edison Garcia/Ruby Mountain
Withdrawal, 1340 Financial Blvd., Reno, NV 89502; or sent by email to
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#7a1f1e130915141d1b0819131b3a181617541d150c"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f693929f859998919784959f97b6949a9bd8919980">[email protected]</span></a>. The BLM will not consider comments via telephone
calls.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the withdrawal would be to
preserve the scenic values, recreational opportunities, outdoor
economy, rare wildlife and plant habitat, and cultural resources that
the Ruby Mountains and neighboring spaces support, by removing these
lands from leasing under the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C. 181
et seq., as amended), the Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired Lands of
1947 (30 U.S.C. 351 et seq., as amended), the Geothermal Steam Act of
1970 (30 U.S.C. 1001 et seq., as amended), and section 402 of the
President's Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1946 (16 U.S.C. 520 and 16
U.S.C. 508b). Subject to overlapping withdrawals or segregations of
record, the lands would remain open to location and entry under the
U.S. mining laws, and subject to mineral material disposal under the
Materials Act of 1947 (30 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). The application requests
the Secretary of the Interior to withdraw the following Federal lands
and interests in lands. In addition, the application requests that any
non-Federal lands or interests in lands within the withdrawal
application area acquired by the United States in the future also be
subject to the withdrawal upon acquisition by the United States:
