functions of the Department; (2) will
this information be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate
of burden accurate; (4) how might the
Department enhance the quality, utility,

ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice announces the
availability, and opportunity for public
review and comment, of the
environmental assessment (EA) that
supports the Department of Energy’s
(DOE) application to the Department of
the Interior, filed with the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM), for a Public
Land Order to withdraw public lands
within and surrounding the Caliente
Rail Corridor. As applied for, the
withdrawal would preclude surface
entry and new mining claim locations
for a 20 year period.
DATES: Comments should be received by
DOE no later than September 28, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Comments, or requests for
copies of the draft EA, should be sent to
Lee Bishop, EA Document Manager,
United States Department of Energy,
1551 Hillshire Drive, Las Vegas, NV
89134. Requests for copies of the draft
EA may also be made by calling 1–800–
225–6972. The draft EA and electronic
comment forms are available at https://
www.ocrwm.doe.gov. Comments may
also be faxed to 1–800–967–0739.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lee
Bishop, EA Document Manager, at the
address above or at 1–800–225–6972.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A notice
of proposed withdrawal was published
in the Federal Register on December 29,
2003 (68 FR 74965–74968), stating that
the Bureau of Land Management had
received an application from DOE to
withdraw for 20 years approximately
308,600 acres of public land from
surface entry and mining locations
while DOE evaluates the land for the
potential construction, operation, and
maintenance of a branch rail line. The
rail line would be used for the
transportation of spent nuclear fuel and
high-level radioactive waste as provided
under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of
1982, as amended (42 U.S.C. 10101 et
seq.). BLM held public meetings on the
application in June 2004.
In accordance with 43 CFR 2310.3–
2(b)(3), DOE has prepared a draft EA to
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

support its application, with the BLM
participating as a cooperating agency.
The application seeks a Public Land
Order for the purpose of precluding
surface entry and the location of new
mining claims which could interfere
with the evaluation of the land. The
proposed Public Land Order would not
affect existing mining claims or other
activities such as grazing rights, water
rights, and recreational uses.
The draft EA may be reviewed on the
Internet at https://www.ocrwm.doe.gov.
Copies of the EA may also be obtained
by contacting Mr. Lee Bishop (see
address above). Comments may be
submitted to Mr. Bishop or through the
comment form at the above website, and
should be received by September 28,
2005.
Three public meetings on the draft EA
will be held as follows:
Monday, September 12, 2005, 4 p.m.
to 8 p.m., Longstreet Inn & Casino,
Highway 373, Amargosa Valley, NV;
Tuesday, September 13, 2005, 4 p.m.
to 8 p.m., Goldfield School Gymnasium,
233 Ramsey, Goldfield, NV; and
Thursday, September 15, 2005, 4 p.m.
to 8 p.m., Caliente Youth Center, U.S.
Highway 93, Caliente, NV.
Comments received will be
considered in finalizing the EA. After
the EA is finalized it will be formally
submitted to the BLM. The BLM will
subsequently make a recommendation
to the Secretary of the Interior, who will
make a final determination regarding
DOE’s application for a Public Land
Order.
