SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Federal Register Correction 

In the Federal Register of August 31, 

2018 (83 FR 44654), on page 44657, in 

the third column, correct Sec. 24 to read 

as follows: 

Sec. 24, those portions of lots 1 and 

2 lying north of the southerly line of a

Extension of Duration of Withdrawal 

PLO No. 7873 withdrew 694,838.84 

acres of Federal land in Churchill, Lyon, 

Mineral, Nye, and Pershing Counties, 

Nevada, for up to 4 years from all forms 

of appropriation under the public land 

laws, including location and entry 

under the United States mining laws, 

and leasing under the mineral and 

geothermal leasing laws, subject to valid 

existing rights. The purpose of this 

withdrawal extension is to maintain the 

current environmental baseline, relative 

to mining, mineral exploration and 

development, and geothermal energy 

development for land management 

evaluation purposes. The extension of 

PLO No. 7873 includes 68,809.44 acres 

of Federal land in the Dixie Valley 

Training Area from the mineral leasing 

laws (not currently withdrawn from 

these laws under Section 3016 of the 

NDAA for Fiscal Year 2000, Pub. L. 

106–65), to maintain the current 

environmental baseline, relative to 

mineral exploration and development 

for land management evaluation 

purposes, subject to valid existing 

rights. 

Including the 8,722.47 acres of 

Department of the Navy (DON) lands, 

the total Federal land included in the 

withdrawal extension is 772,370.75 

acres. Non-Federal lands totaling 

66,160.53 acres are described within the 

withdrawal area. Any current or future 

Federal estate interest in these nonFederal lands is subject to this 

withdrawal. 

The purpose for which the 

withdrawal was first made requires this 

extension because the BLM and the 

DON are engaged in the evaluation of 

issues relating to possible future 

legislative transfer of the subject land to 

the jurisdiction of the DON in 

connection with the DON’s 

modernization of Naval Air Station 

Fallon, Fallon Range Training Complex, 

Nevada (FRTC). The DON anticipates 

requesting a legislative withdrawal of 

these additional lands and requested 

that the Department of the Interior 

extend PLO No. 7873 withdrawal an 

additional 4 years. PLO No. 7873 is 

incorporated by reference (83 FR 

44654). 

Order 

By virtue of the authority vested in 

the Secretary of the Interior by Section 

204 of the Federal Land Policy and 

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

1714, it is ordered as follows: 

1. Subject to valid existing rights, PLO 

No. 7873, which withdrew 694,838.84 

acres of public land from all forms of 

appropriation under the public land 

laws and 68,809.44 acres of Federal land 

in the Dixie Valley area from leasing 

under the mineral leasing laws, 

including the 8,722.47 acres of 

Department of the Navy (DON) lands, 

totaling 772,370.75 acres of Federal land 

is hereby extended for an additional 4- 

year period. Non-Federal lands totaling 

66,160.53 acres are described within the 

withdrawal area. Any current or future 

Federal estate interest in these nonFederal lands is subject to this 

withdrawal extension. 

2. The withdrawal extended by this 

order will expire on August 23, 2026,

before the expiration date pursuant to

Notice of Temporary Seasonal Closure 

of Public Lands in La Plata and 

Montezuma Counties, CO 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of temporary closure. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a 

temporary closure to all forms of entry 

will be in effect seasonally for certain 

public lands administered by the 

Bureau of Land Management (BLM), 

Tres Rios Field Office in La Plata and 

Montezuma Counties, Colorado. The 

temporary closure is necessary to 

protect critical wildlife habitat and 

minimize stress to wintering mule deer 

and elk and nesting raptors. 

DATES: In the Durango area of La Plata 

County, the temporary closure of BLMadministered lands identified as critical 

winter wildlife habitat will be in effect 

annually from 12:01 a.m. on December 

1 through 11:59 p.m. on April 15, with 

possible extension through April 30 if 

conditions warrant. The temporary 

closure of BLM-administered lands 

identified as critical raptor habitat will 

be in effect annually from 12:01 a.m. on 

March 15 through 11:59 p.m. on July 31. 

In the Cortez area of Montezuma 

County, the temporary closure of BLMadministered lands identified as critical 

winter wildlife habitat will be in effect 

annually from 12:01 a.m. on December 

1 through 11:59 p.m. on April 30. 

All times noted are local. 

The temporary seasonal closures take 

effect on August 1, 2022 and will expire 

30 days after publication in the Federal 

Register of a final supplementary rule 

implementing the 2015 Tres Rios Field 

Office Resource Management Plan 

(RMP). 

ADDRESSES: The temporary closure 

order, maps of the affected areas, and 

documents associated with the 

temporary closure order will be made 

available and posted at the Tres Rios 

Field Office, 29211 Highway 184, 

Dolores, CO 81323. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Tyler Fouss, Field Staff Ranger; 29211 

Highway 184, Dolores, CO 81323; 

telephone: (970) 882–1131; email: 

tfouss@blm.gov. 

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 to 

contact Tyler Fouss. Individuals outside 

the United States should use the relay 

services offered within their country to 

make international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The need 

for these temporary seasonal closures is 

identified in the record of decision for 

the Tres Rios Field Office RMP and the 

supporting environmental impact 

statement (EIS). The BLM affirmed that 

its environmental analysis conducted in 

that EIS adequately informed, under the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), the decision regarding these 

temporary closures in La Plata County. 

That determination of NEPA adequacy 

is contained in the worksheet titled 

‘‘Seasonal Wildlife Area Closures on 

Public Lands in La Plata County, 

Colorado’’ (DOI–BLM–CO–S010–2020– 

0006–DNA). BLM conducted additional 

site-specific analysis of the effects of the 

Cortez area closures in an 

environmental assessment for the Tres 

Rios Field Office entitled, 

‘‘Transportation and Access Plan, Travel 

Area 1: Archuleta, La Plata and 

Montezuma Counties’’ (DOI–BLM–CO– 

S010–2018–0013–EA). 

I. Durango Area Closures 

In 1971, the BLM and Colorado Parks 

and Wildlife (CPW) identified the need 

to preserve critical winter range to 

minimize adverse impacts and prevent 

disturbance to wintering elk and mule 

deer. The BLM purchased land on 

Animas City Mountain from The Nature 

Conservancy and entered into a joint 

plan with CPW for managing Animas 

City Mountain and the Perins Peak 

Wildlife Management Area. Perins Peak 

was also identified as critical nesting 

habitat for peregrine falcons. In 1999, 

the BLM and CPW identified a similar 

need to manage for critical winter range 

within the Grandview Ridge Recreation 

Management Zone (RMZ) and 

developed a management plan for the 

Durango Special Recreation 

Management Area (SRMA). 

II. Cortez Area Closures 

The BLM designated the Cortez 

SRMA during revision of the Tres Rios 

Field Office RMP. The RMP identifies 

the need for annual seasonal closures in 

the Chutes-n-Ladders, Summit, and 

Aqueduct areas of the Montezuma 

Triangle RMZ within the Cortez SRMA. 

These areas provide critical winter 

range for elk and mule deer and are 

identified in the Colorado action plan 

for implementation of Department of the 

Interior Secretary’s Order 3362, 

‘‘Improving Habitat Quality in Western 

Big-Game Winter Range and Migration 

Corridors’’ (2018). When the BLM 

developed the SRMA, it implemented 

seasonal wildlife closures as a 

mitigation measure in response to the 

designation of elk and mule deer critical 

winter range in the Cortez SRMA. 

Description of Closed Areas: This 

temporary closure affects the following 

BLM-administered public lands within 

the Tres Rios Field Office in La Plata 

County, Colorado: Animas City 

Mountain and Grandview Ridge RMZs 

within the Durango SRMA and the 

Perins Peak Wildlife Management Area; 

and in Montezuma County, Colorado: 

Aqueduct, Chutes and Ladders, and 

Summit areas of the Montezuma 

Triangle RMZ within the Cortez SRMA. 

The legal description of affected 

public lands is as follows:
