provide the general public and other
Federal agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
A Federal Register notice, 88 FR
10536 with a 60-day public comment
period soliciting comments on this
collection of information was published
on February 21, 2023. No comments
were received.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;

burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of

respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in

public record. Before including your

Abstract: The order Testudines,
which encompasses tortoises and
freshwater and marine turtles, is among
the most threatened group of vertebrates
in the world. However, turtles are
frequently observed during everyday
activities, such as while walking
through a park, driving along a roadway,
or kayaking in a river or pond. Local
citizen-science projects focused on
single species (such as box turtles) have
provided valuable demographic
information for turtle populations, but
these projects are isolated both spatially
and specifically (i.e., focused on one
species). This project would use
sighting information supplied by
citizens to fill gaps in our knowledge of
turtle distributions throughout Northern
Florida. When a citizen observes a
turtle, they would document the species
(if possible), location (latitude/longitude
collected via cell phone), date, and time,
and they would photograph the animal.
We would also ask each contributor to
provide their initials (not full name) and
a way to contact them if questions about
the entry arise (e.g., phone number or
email address). The sighting information
will be mapped and used to develop
species-distribution maps.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 42 N., R. 37 E.,
Sec. 4, SE1⁄4SE1⁄4.
The area described contains 40 acres,
according to the official plats of the surveys
on file with the BLM.
The proposed school complex would
be in Orovada, a census-designated
place in the Quinn River Valley,
Nevada, which is approximately 45.8
miles north of Winnemucca, Nevada.
The new elementary school would
replace the existing elementary school
that has become difficult to maintain
due to its age and condition. The new
schoolhouse needs to be built elsewhere
because the location of the existing
school is also less than adequate, with
traffic concerns.
The schoolhouse would include a
Primary Education Development Center
consisting of an outdoor basketball
court, picnic area, rock climbing and
jungle gym areas, outdoor running track,
water well, septic system, soccer field,
and a detached gymnasium that would
function as a community center when
not in use for school activities. The
school would include a library, a
cafeteria and kitchen, an art/music room
and support room, a STEM lab/flex
space, a kindergarten room, three open
concept classrooms to serve first
through eighth grades, electrical and
mechanical rooms, restrooms, a nurse’s

room, a teacher’s lounge, office space,
and a waiting area.
Thirty-two students attend the
existing elementary school; however,
the new school would be designed to
accommodate community growth by
including space for additional
classrooms to be built later should they
be needed. Up to 20 acres would be
used to construct the elementary school,
gymnasium, parking lots, sports fields,
and landscaping. The high school
would be developed over the remaining
20 acres and would include a
schoolhouse, detached gymnasium,
common area, outdoor running track,
and desert landscaping. Each school
would have paved parking for staff,
visitors, and student drop-off areas. The
schools would be built using rammedearth technology and the design would
adhere to all state and local laws and
codes. Construction of the elementary
school would begin in 2023, and the
high school would be built afterwards.
The lands identified are not needed
for any Federal purpose and it would be
in the public’s interest to transfer the
parcel under the R&PP Act. The lease
and subsequent conveyance are
consistent with the Resource
Management Plan for the Winnemucca
District Planning Area.
All interested parties will receive a
copy of this notice once it is published
in the Federal Register. A copy of the
notice will also be published in a
newspaper of general circulation once a
week for three consecutive weeks and
mailed to interested parties, adjoining
landowners, and appropriate
government offices.
Upon publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, the lands will be
segregated from all other forms of
appropriation under the public land
laws, including location and entry
under the mining laws, except for lease
or conveyance under the R&PP Act and
leasing under the mineral leasing laws.
The lease or conveyance of the land,
when issued, will be subject to the
following terms, conditions, and
reservations:
1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches
and canals constructed by the authority
of the United States Act of August 30,
1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
2. Provisions of the R&PP Act and all
applicable regulations of the Secretary
of the Interior.
3. All mineral deposits in the land so
patented, and the right to prospect for,
mine, and remove such deposits from
the same under applicable law and
regulations as established by the
Secretary of the Interior are reserved to
the United States, together with all
necessary access and exit rights.

4. Lease or conveyance of the parcel
is subject to valid existing rights.
5. An appropriate indemnification
clause protecting the United States from
claims arising out of the lessee’s/
patentee’s use, occupancy, or operations
on the leased/patented lands.
6. Any other reservations that the
authorized officer determines
appropriate to ensure public access and
proper management of Federal lands
and interests therein.
Comments on the classification are
restricted to whether the land is
physically suited for the school complex
as proposed, whether the use will
maximize the future use or uses of the
land, whether the use is consistent with
local planning and zoning, or if the use
is consistent with State and Federal
programs.
Interested persons may also submit
comments regarding the specific use
proposed in the application and plan of
development and management, whether
the BLM followed proper administrative
procedures in reaching the decision, or
any other factor not directly related to
the suitability of the lands for a school
complex, as proposed.
Any adverse comments will be
reviewed by the BLM State Director who
may sustain, vacate, or modify this
realty action. In the absence of any
adverse comments, the classification
will become effective on September 8,
2023. The lands will not be offered for
lease or conveyance until after the
classification becomes effective.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, be advised 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

information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
