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. 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:

    The area described contains 6,458.56 acres, according to the 
official plats of the surveys of the said lands, on file with the BLM.
    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.
