Withdrawal Application and Public Meeting for the Ruby Mountains; 
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 
[email protected]. The BLM will not consider comments via telephone 
calls.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Edison Garcia, Land Law Examiner, 
Nevada State Office at (775) 861-6530; or you may contact the BLM 
office at the address noted above. Individuals in the United States who 
are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability may 
dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay 
services. Individuals outside the United States should use the relay 
services offered within their country to make international calls to 
the point-of-contact in the United States. You will receive a reply 
during normal business hours.

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:

be subject to the withdrawal if they are subsequently acquired by 
the United States.
    The total areas described, including both Federal and non-
Federal lands, aggregate 309,112.66 acres, more or less.

above will be segregated from all forms of leasing under the mineral 
and geothermal leasing laws, subject to valid existing rights, unless 
the application is denied or canceled, or the withdrawal is approved 
prior to that date. Licenses, permits, cooperative agreements, or 
discretionary land use authorizations of a temporary nature may be 
allowed with the approval of the authorized officer, during the 
temporary segregation period, if they would comply with the applicable 
USFS land use plans for the described Federal lands located within the 
withdrawal application boundary.
    This application will be processed in accordance with the 
regulations set forth in 43 CFR part 2300.
