SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

restrictions affect public lands within 

and adjacent to the Burning Man event 

permitted on the Black Rock Desert 

playa within the Black Rock Desert-High 

Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National 

Conservation Area in Pershing County, 

Nevada. The temporary closure of 

public lands will be conducted in two 

phases to limit impacts on the general 

public outside of the Burning Man 

event. Phase 1 will encompass a smaller 

temporary closure area during the 

building and tear-down of Black Rock 

City and Phase 2 will encompass the 

larger, temporary closure area during 

the event itself. Phase 2 includes all of 

the Phase 1 area. This year’s Phase 2

previous closure areas for the Burning 

Man event. 

The legal description of the affected 

public lands in the temporary public 

closure area of both stages is Mount

The area described contains 120,270 

acres, more or less, according to the 

BLM National PLSS CadNSDI, the 

protraction diagrams, and the official 

plats of the surveys of the said lands, on 

file with the BLM. 

The two-phase temporary closure area 

is in Pershing County, Nevada, and is 

necessary for the period of time from 

July 28, 2022, to midnight October 1, 

2022, because of the Burning Man event. 

The event’s activities begin with the 

golden spike, fencing the site perimeter, 

Black Rock City setup (July 28 to August 

26), followed by the actual event (12:01 

a.m. on August 27 to 12:00 p.m. on 

September 6), Black Rock City tear 

down and cleanup, and final site 

cleanup (12:01 p.m. on September 6 to 

11:59 p.m. on October 1). This event is 

authorized on public land under Special 

Recreation Permit #NVW03500–22–01. 

The public temporary closure area 

comprises about 77 percent of the Black 

Rock Desert playa. Public access to the 

other 23 percent of the playa outside the 

temporary closure area will remain open 

to dispersed recreational use. 

The event area is fully contained 

within the Phase 2 temporary closure 

area. The event area is defined as the 

portion of the temporary closure area 

that: (1) Is entirely contained within the 

event perimeter fence, including 50 feet 

from the outside of the event perimeter 

fence; (2) Lies within 25 feet from the 

outside edge of the event access road; 

and (3) Includes the entirety of the 

aircraft parking area outside the event 

perimeter fence. 

The temporary closure and 

restrictions are necessary to provide a 

safe environment for the staffs/ 

volunteers, participants and members of 

the public visiting the Black Rock 

Desert, and to protect public land 

resources by addressing law 

enforcement and public safety concerns 

associated with the event. The 

temporary closure and temporary 

restrictions are also necessary to enable 

BLM law enforcement personnel to 

provide for public safety and to protect 

the public lands. 

The event attracts up to 87,000 

participants to a remote, rural area, 

located more than 90 miles from urban 

infrastructure and support, including 

such services as public safety, 

emergency medical delivery, 

transportation, and communication. 

During the event, Black Rock City, the 

temporary city associated with the 

event, becomes one of the largest 

population areas in Nevada. 

A temporary closure and restrictions 

order, under the authority of 43 CFR 

8364.1, is appropriate for a single event. 

The temporary closure and restrictions 

are specifically tailored to the time 

frame that is necessary to provide a safe 

environment for the public and for 

participants at the Burning Man event 

and to protect public land resources 

while avoiding imposing restrictions 

that may not be necessary in the area 

during the remainder of the year. 

The BLM will post copies of the 

temporary closure, temporary 

restrictions, and an associated map in 

kiosks at access points to the Black Rock 

Desert playa, as well as at the Gerlach 

Post Office, Bruno’s Restaurant, Empire 

Store, Burning Man Project Offices, 

Friends of Black Rock-High Rock Office, 

the BLM-Nevada Black Rock Station 

near Gerlach, and the BLM-California 

Applegate Field Office. The BLM will 

also make the materials available on the 

BLM external web page at: http://

www.blm.gov. 

In addition to the Nevada Collateral 

Forfeiture and Bail Schedule as 

authorized by the United States District 

Court, District of Nevada and under the 

authority of Section 303(a) of FLPMA, 

43 CFR 8360.0–7, and 43 CFR 8364.1, 

the BLM will enforce a temporary 

public closure and the following 

temporary restrictions will apply within 

and adjacent to the Burning Man event 

on the Black Rock Desert playa from 

July 28, 2022, through October 1, 2022:

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,
