Notice of Proposed Withdrawal and

Amended Notice of Exchange

Proposal; Nevada

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Nellis Air Force Base has filed

an application (N–62765) to withdraw

approximately 1,755 acres of public

lands adjacent to the base from surface

entry and mining in order to provide

safety buffers between potentially

hazardous areas on the base and public

use or populated areas. There are also

approximately 745 acres of non-Federal

lands proposed to be acquired in the

Carl Volkmar exchange that would

become a part of this application and

subsequent withdrawal. This notice

closes the lands for up to 2 years from

settlement, sale, location, or entry under

the general land laws, including the

mining laws.

Additionally, the Bureau of Land

Management is considering a proposal

to exchange land pursuant to Section

206 of the Federal Land Policy and

Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C.

1716), as amended. The exchange

proposed by Carl Volkmar, N–55975,

was initiated under a Notice of

Exchange Proposal published in the Las

Vegas Review-Journal on July 22, 1994.

DATES: Comments on the withdrawal

and/or land exchange proposals should

be received on or before October 5,

1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Sharon DiPinto, Las Vegas Field Office,

702–647–5062 for the exchange. Dennis

Samuelson, Nevada State Office, 702–

861–6532 for the withdrawal.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June

25, 1998, Nellis Air Force Base filed an
36430 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 128 / Monday, July 6, 1998 / Notices

application to withdraw the following

described public lands from settlement,

sale, location, or entry under the general

land laws, including the mining laws,

subject to valid existing rights:

Mount Diablo Meridian

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

Sec. 25, NE1⁄4 south of Las Vegas

Boulevard.

T.19 S., R. 63 E.,

Sec. 27, NE1⁄4SE1⁄4, W1⁄2SE1⁄4;

Sec. 34, NE1⁄4.

T. 20 S., R. 62 E.,

Sec. 1, lots 9, 10, and lots 13 to 20,

inclusive;

Sec. 11, lots 1 to 8, inclusive;

Sec. 12, lots 2 to 7, inclusive, and lots 12

and 13.

T. 20 S., R 63 E.,

Sec. 3, SE1⁄4.

The areas described aggregate

approximately 1,755 acres in Clark County.

The following described non-Federal

lands, if acquired by the United States

in the Volkmar land exchange, would

become a part of this application and

subsequent withdrawal:

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

Sec. 35, A portion of the NW1⁄4SE1⁄4, and

a portion of the S1⁄2SW1⁄4.

T. 20 S., R. 62 E.,

Sec. 2, SE1⁄4NE1⁄4, a portion of the

NE1⁄4SW1⁄4, SE1⁄4SW1⁄4, SE1⁄4;

Sec. 10, E1⁄2SE1⁄4;

Sec. 11, E1⁄2NW1⁄4, SW1⁄4;

Sec. 15, NW1⁄4NE1⁄4, W1⁄2SW1⁄4NE1⁄4.

The areas described aggregate 745 acres in

Clark County.

The above described lands have been

identified for acquisition by the Air

Force for public safety and to comply

with Department of Defense regulation

6055.9 regarding ammunition and

explosion safety standards. Recently, an

explosives site plan was completed for

the Live Ordnance Loading Area (LOLA)

of Nellis Air Force Base. This site plan

expanded the Quantity Distance (QD)

arcs for the live ordnance loading area

and the evacuation zone outside of the

current Nellis Air Force Base

boundaries. These QD arcs are

established in order to provide safety

buffers between potentially hazardous

areas and populated areas. The purpose

of the proposed withdrawal is to set

aside land that serves as the safety

buffers.

The application will be processed in

accordance with the regulations set

forth in 43 CFR Part 2300.

For a period of 2 years from the date

of publication of this notice in the

Federal Register, the lands will be

segregated as specified above unless the

application is denied or canceled or the

withdrawal is approved prior to that

date. Other uses which will be

permitted during this segregative period

are rights-of-way, leases, and permits.

The temporary segregation of the land in

connection with a withdrawal

application shall not affect

administrative jurisdiction over the

land, and the segregation shall not have

the effect of authorizing any use of the

land by the Nellis Air Force Base.

In the amended land exchange

proposal, Carl Volkmar has added

offered lands including portions of the

following lands in the vicinity of Nellis

Air Force Base in Clark County, Nevada,

and Lake Tahoe in Douglas and Washoe

Counties, Nevada. The Nellis lands are

adjacent to the Nellis Air Force Base

and are located within the facility’s Live

Ordnance Loading Area safety zones.

Nellis Lands: Approximately 745

acres within:

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

Sec. 35, a portion of the NW1⁄4SE1⁄4, and

a portion of the S1⁄2NW1⁄4.

T. 20 S., R. 62 E.,

NE1⁄4SW1⁄4, SE1⁄4SW1⁄4, SE1⁄4;

Sec. 11, E1⁄2NW1⁄4, SW1⁄4;

Sec. 15, NW1⁄4NE1⁄4, W1⁄2SW1⁄4NE1⁄4.

These lands would be withdrawn

upon Federal acquisition to the United

States Air Force. The Nellis lands are

private land adjacent to Nellis Air Force

Base located within the facility’s Live

Ordnance Loading Area safety zones as

described above.

Tahoe lands: Approximately 93 acres

within:

T. 14 N., R. 18 E.,

Sec. 3, a portion of the SW1⁄4;

Sec. 4, Lot 3;

Sec. 15, a portion of Lot 3, and a portion

of Lot 4;

T. 16 N., R. 18 E.,

Sec. 11, a portion of the W1⁄2.

Forest Service.
