Bureau of Land Management August 15, 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The United States Air Force (Air Force) has filed an application requesting the Secretary of the Interior extend the withdrawal at Halligan Mesa for an additional 20 years. In 1985, Public Land Order (PLO) No. 6591 withdrew approximately 600 acres of public lands from settlement, sale, location, or entry under the general land laws, including the United States mining laws, but not the mineral leasing laws, subject to valid existing rights for a period of 20 years, and reserved the land for the use of the Air Force for a communication site and support facilities. In 2005, PLO No. 7360 extended the withdrawal as related to approximately 264 of those acres for an additional 20 years. This notice advises the public of a 90-day opportunity to comment on the withdrawal extension application and to request a public meeting.
