The areas described above aggregate
approximately 768,997 acres in Clark and
Lincoln Counties. The legal descriptions of
the unsurveyed lands are based on what
normal survey subdivision units would be
when surveyed.
The lands withdrawn by PLO No.
7070 are located about 20 miles
northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. The
purpose of the withdrawal extension is
to protect, enhance, and maintain
wildlife resources, including bighorn
sheep on one of the largest and last
reasonably intact examples of Mojave
Desert landscape habitats.
The use of a right-of-way, interagency
agreement, or cooperative agreement
would not provide adequate protection
for the wildlife habitat and unique
resource values within the Desert
National Wildlife Range.
No additional water rights would be
needed to fulfill the purpose of the
requested withdrawal extension.
There are no suitable alternative sites
since the lands described herein contain
the natural and biological resources of
interest for protection.
All persons who wish to submit
comments, suggestions, or objections in
connection with the proposed
withdrawal extension may present their
views in writing to the BLM Southern
Nevada District Office, at the address
indicated above. Comments, including
names and street addresses of
respondents, will be available for public
review at the address stated above,
during regular business hours, 7:30 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

The areas described above aggregate approximately 768,997 acres in
Clark and Lincoln Counties. The legal descriptions of the unsurveyed
lands are based on what normal survey subdivision units would be
when surveyed.
The lands withdrawn by PLO No. 7070 are located about 20 miles
northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. The purpose of the withdrawal extension
is to protect, enhance, and maintain wildlife resources, including
bighorn sheep on one of the largest and last reasonably intact examples
of Mojave Desert landscape habitats.
The use of a right-of-way, interagency agreement, or cooperative
agreement would not provide adequate protection for the wildlife
habitat and unique resource values within the Desert National Wildlife
Range.
No additional water rights would be needed to fulfill the purpose
of the requested withdrawal extension.
There are no suitable alternative sites since the lands described
herein contain the natural and biological resources of interest for
protection.
All persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or objections
in connection with the proposed withdrawal extension may present their
views in writing to the BLM Southern Nevada District Office, at the
address indicated above. Comments, including names and street addresses
of respondents, will be available for public review at the address
stated above, during regular business hours, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be
able to do so.
Notice is hereby given that a public meeting will be held in
connection with
[[Page 58555]]
the proposed withdrawal extension. Information on the meeting is listed
under the ``DATES'' heading of this notice. Interested parties may file
written statements at the meeting. All statements received will be

is submitted to the Assistant Secretary of the Interior for final
action.
