SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 2002 Act (Pub. L. 107-107 (115 Stat. 
1012)), Congress withdrew approximately 117,710 acres of public lands 
in San Bernardino County, California, from all forms of appropriation 
under the general land laws, including the mining laws and mineral and 
geothermal leasing laws, subject to valid existing rights, and reserved 
the land for the Army's use at the Fort Irwin National Training Center 
and transferred administrative jurisdiction over the lands to the Army. 
This withdrawal will expire on December 27, 2026, unless extended by 
Congress. The Army submitted an application for extension of this 
withdrawal for an additional 25 years.
    The legal description for public lands withdrawn for use by the 
Army at the Fort Irwin National Training Center is as follows:
