We will place copies of the plats of 

the amended protraction diagrams we 

described in the open files. They will be 

available to the public as a matter of 

information. 

If BLM receives a protest against these 

amended protraction diagrams, as 

shown on these plats, prior to the date 

of the official filings, we will stay the 

filings pending our consideration of the 

protest. 

We will not officially file these plats 

of the amended protraction diagrams 

until the day after we have accepted or 

dismissed all protests and they have 

become final, including decisions or 

appeals.

[NV–930–1430–ET; NVN–78993, 4–08807] 

Notice of Proposed Withdrawal and 

Opportunity for Public Meeting; 

Nevada

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) has asked the Secretary of 

the Interior to transfer jurisdiction of 

154.70 acres of public land within Clark 

County, Nevada, to the Department of 

Veterans Affairs for a period of 20 years 

the land to be dedicated to the use of the 

VA for a medical center.

DATES: Comments and requests for a 

public meeting must be received by 

December 27, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting 

requests should be submitted in writing 

to the Bureau of Land Management 

(BLM), Nevada State Director, P.O. Box 

12000, Reno, Nevada 89520–0006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Dennis Samuelson, Bureau of Land 

Management, Nevada State Office, 775–

861–6532.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Veterans Affairs has filed 

an application to withdraw, reserve and 

transfer jurisdiction over the following 

described land from the Department of 

the Interior (Interior) to the VA:

Mount Diablo Meridian 

T. 19 S., R. 62 E., 

Sec. 19, lots 2 and 3, SE1⁄4NW1⁄4 and 

NE1⁄4SW1⁄4.

The area described contains 154.70 

acres in Clark County. 

The above-described public land also 

is located within the city limits of the 

City of North Las Vegas, Nevada. The 

purpose of the proposed withdrawal, 

reservation and transfer of jurisdiction 

57960 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 187 / Tuesday, September 28, 2004 / Notices 

(hereinafter the ‘‘withdrawal’’) is to 

allow the VA to construct, operate and 

maintain a medical center, including a 

hospital, an outpatient clinic and a 

nursing home for the care of veterans of 

the United States armed forces. The 

term of the proposed withdrawal would 

be for 20 years and, in the future, the 

withdrawal could be renewed for the 

like terms if, when a renewal is 

requested, it is determined by Interior 

that the same need for the land as a VA 

medical center continues to exist. 

Currently the above-described public 

land is subject to a protective 

withdrawal established pursuant to 

section 4 (c) of Pub. L. 105–263, as 

amended. Consequently, there is no 

need to segregate the above-described 

land from the operation of the general 

land laws while BLM processes the VA 

withdrawal application; and, therefore, 

this notice does not specify a 

segregation period. 

All persons who wish to submit 

written comments, including 

suggestions, or objections in connection 

with the proposed withdrawal may 

submit their views by mail in writing to 

the BLM, Nevada State Director at the 

address listed above by December 27, 

2004. Letters must be post-marked 

within the 90-day period. 

The application and case file for the 

proposed withdrawal and relevant 

comments, including names and street 

addresses of respondents, will be 

available for public review at the 

Nevada State Office, 1340 Financial 

Boulevard, Reno, Nevada, during 

regular business hours, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 

p.m., Monday through Friday, except 

holidays. Individual respondents may 

request confidentiality. If you wish to 

withhold your name or address from 

public review or from disclosure under 

the Freedom of Information Act, you 

must state this prominently at the 

beginning of your comments. Such 

requests will be honored to the extent 

allowed by law. All submissions from 

organizations or businesses, and from 

individuals identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, will be 

made available for public inspection in 

their entirety. 

Notice is hereby given that an 

opportunity for a public meeting is 

afforded in connection with the 

proposed withdrawal. All interested 

persons who desire a public meeting for 

the purpose of being heard on the 

proposed withdrawal should submit a 

written request to the Nevada State 

Director by December 27, 2004. If the 

authorized officer determines that a 

public meeting will be held, a notice of 

the time and place will be published in 

the Federal Register at least 30 days 

before the scheduled date of the 

meeting. 

This proposed withdrawal will be 

processed in accordance with the 

regulations set forth in 43 CFR part 

2300. 

Licenses, permits, cooperative 

agreements, or discretionary land use 

authorizations of a temporary nature 

which will not significantly conflict 

with the proposed use may be allowed 

with the approval of the BLM 

authorized officer.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Form MMS–144, Rig Movement 

Notification Report. 

OMB Control Number: 1010–0150. 

Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf 

(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 

1331 et seq. and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), 

authorizes the Secretary of the Interior 

(Secretary) to prescribe rules and 

regulations to administer leasing of the 

OCS. Such rules and regulations will 

apply to all operations conducted under 

a lease. Operations on the OCS must 

preserve, protect, and develop oil and 

natural gas resources in a manner that 

is consistent with the need to make such 

resources available to meet the Nation’s 

energy needs as rapidly as possible; to 

balance orderly energy resource 

development with protection of human, 

marine, and coastal environments; to 

ensure the public a fair and equitable 

return on the resources of the OCS; and 

to preserve and maintain free enterprise 

competition. Section 1332(6) of the Act 

requires that ‘‘operations in the [O]uter 

Continental Shelf should be conducted 

in a safe manner by well-trained 

personnel using technology, 

precautions, and techniques sufficient 

to prevent or minimize the likelihood of 

blowouts, loss of well control, fires, 

spillages, physical obstruction to other 

users of the waters or subsoil and 

seabed, or other occurrences which may 

cause damage to the environment or to 

property, or endanger life or health.’’

This ICR concerns the regulations in 

30 CFR 250 subparts D, E, and F, 

specifically Sections 403(c), 502, and 

602, on the movement of drilling, 

completion, and workover rigs and 

related equipment on and off an 

offshore platform or from well to well 

on the same offshore platform. The 

requirement for operators to notify MMS 

of rig movements is only specifically 

stated in § 250.403(c). Since MMS is 

mandated to perform timely inspections 

on rigs and platforms, we must have 

accurate information with regard to 

their location on the OCS. We use this 

information in scheduling inspections 

with regard to priority and cost 

effectiveness. 

However, because of the increased 

volume of activity in the Gulf of Mexico 

Region (GOMR), it is now standard 

MMS procedure to require this 

notification as a condition of approval
