FR 25204) on April 30, 2013, amended
BLM regulations found in 43 CFR 2090
and 2800 to allow the BLM to
temporarily segregate from the operation
of the public land laws, by publication
of a Federal Register notice, public
lands included in a pending wind
energy generation ROW application.
The Final Rule for segregation allows a
State Director to extend the projectspecific segregation if that segregation
would expire before a decision can be
made.
This segregation is necessary to allow
the BLM to complete additional analysis
on the Final Environmental Impact
Statement (FEIS) for the Searchlight
project. The additional analysis is
necessitated by the October 30, 2015,
Order from the United States District
Court for the District of Nevada,
vacating the March 13, 2013,
Searchlight Wind Record of Decision
and supporting FEIS. This segregation
does not affect valid existing rights.
Licenses, permits, cooperative
agreements, or discretionary land use
authorizations of a temporary nature,
which would not impact lands
identified in this notice, may be allowed
with the approval of an authorized
officer of the BLM during the period of
segregation. The lands segregated under
this notice are legally described as
follows:
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 28 S., R. 63 E.,
sec. 22, that portion of the E1⁄2SE1⁄4 lying
east of the easterly right-of-way of S.R.

surveys;
sec. 25, excepting patented mineral

sec. 26, excepting patented mineral

T. 29 S., R. 63 E.,

easterly right-of-way of S.R. 95 NVCC–
20845.
T. 28 S., R. 64 E.,

sec. 5, excepting patented mineral surveys;
and
secs. 6 through 8 inclusive, 17 through 20
inclusive, 29 and 30.
The area described contains 18,790 acres in
Clark County, Nevada.
As provided in the Final Rule, the
segregation of lands in this notice will
not exceed 2 years from the date of
publication unless extended for up to 2
additional years, through publication of
a new notice in the Federal Register.
Termination of the segregation occurs
on the earliest of the following dates:
upon issuance of a decision by the
authorized officer granting, granting
with modifications, or denying the
application for a ROW; automatically at
the end of the segregation; or upon
publication of a Federal Register notice
of termination of the segregation.
Upon termination of segregation of
these lands, all lands subject to this
segregation will automatically reopen to
appropriation under the public land
laws.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
3501–3521) and OMB regulations at 5
CFR part 1320 provide that an agency
may not conduct or sponsor a collection
of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Until OMB approves a collection of
information, you are not obligated to
respond. In order to obtain and renew
an OMB control number, Federal
agencies are required to seek public
comment on information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8(d) and 1320.12(a)).
As required at 5 CFR 1320.8(d), the
BLM published a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register on October 7, 2015 (80
FR 60709), and the comment period
ended December 7, 2015. The BLM
received no comments. The BLM now
requests comments on the following
subjects:
1. Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
functioning of the BLM, including

of the burden of collecting the

the methodology and assumptions used;
3. The quality, utility and clarity of
the information to be collected; and
4. How to minimize the information
collection burden on those who are to
respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other forms of
information technology.

While you can ask us in your comment

The following information is provided
for the information collection:
Title: Mineral Surveys, Mineral Patent
Applications, Adverse Claims, Protests,
and Contests (43 CFR parts 3860 and
3870).
OMB Control Number: 1004–0025.
Abstract: On its face, the General
Mining Law (30 U.S.C. 29, 30, and 39)
authorizes a holder of an unpatented
claim for hardrock minerals to apply for
fee title (patent) to the federal land (as
well as minerals) embraced in the claim.
Since 1994, a rider on the annual
appropriation bill for the Department of
the Interior has prevented the BLM from
processing mineral patent applications
unless the applications were
grandfathered under the initial
legislation. While grandfathered
applications are rare at present, the
approval to collect the information
continues to be necessary because of the
possibility that the moratorium will be
lifted.
Frequency of Collection: Once.
Form: Certificate of Title on Mining
Claims (Form 3860–2) and Application
for Survey on Mining Claim (Form
3860–5).
Description of Respondents: Owners

sites upon the public lands, and of
reserved mineral lands of the United
States, National Forests, and National
Parks.
