SUMMARY: This Public Land Order (PLO) extends the duration of the
withdrawal created by PLO No. 6591, Parcel ``B,'' as extended by PLO
No. 7630, for an additional 20-year period. These public lands were
withdrawn from settlement, sale, location, or entry under the general
land laws, including the United States mining laws, but not from
leasing under the mineral leasing laws, and reserved for use by the
United States Air Force to protect a communication site and support
facilities used for the safe and secure operation of national defense
activities. This extension is necessary to continue the protection of a
communications site and support facilities used for the safe and secure
operation of national defense activities on the Nevada Test and
Training Range (NTTR).
DATES: This PLO takes effect on April 11, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose for which the withdrawal was
first made requires this extension to protect a communication site and
support facilities used for the safe and secure operation of national
defense activities on the NTTR. The land withdrawn by PLO No. 6591,
Parcel ``B,'' on March 19, 1985 (50 FR 10965-10966), and serialized as
N-35951 (NVNV106083139) are located on Halligan Mesa in central Nye
County, 77 miles east of Tonopah, Nevada. In 2005, PLO No. 7630 (70 FR
18424) extended the withdrawal for an additional 20-year period. Public
access to the land has been restricted since the 1960s.
Order
By virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of the Interior
by section 204(f) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of
1976, 43 U.S.C. 1714 (f), it is ordered as follows:
1. Subject to valid existing rights, PLO No. 6591 (50 FR 10965-
10966 (1985)),
[[Page 15470]]
Parcel ``B,'' which withdrew approximately 264 acres of public land
from settlement, sale, location, or entry under the general land laws,
including the United States mining laws, but not from leasing under the
mineral leasing laws, and reserved for use by the United States Air
Force to protect a communication site and support facilities used for
the safe and secure operation of national defense activities on the
NTTR, is hereby extended for an additional 20-year period.
2. This withdrawal will expire 20 years from the effective date of
this Order, unless, as a result of a review conducted before the
expiration date pursuant to section 204(f) of the Federal Land Policy
and Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1714(f), the Secretary determines
that the withdrawal shall be further extended.
