Notice of Proposed Withdrawal Revocation; Proposed Restoration of Public Lands; Proposed Transfer Into Trust; Nevada

Zusammenfassung

The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) has submitted a notice of intent to relinquish its administration of certain lands withdrawn by Secretary's Order dated November 26, 1906, which withdrew all lands within one mile of the highwater mark of Walker Lake in Mineral County, Nevada. These lands are no longer needed by BOR for project purposes. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has evaluated the lands and determined the lands are suitable for restoration to the public domain. In addition, the Western Regional Office, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), has requested that the Secretary of the Interior permanently withdraw and transfer some of these relinquished lands, as well as other existing public lands, as an addition to the Walker River Paiute Reservation under the authority of the Act of June 22, 1936. This notice advises the public of a 30-day opportunity to comment on the proposed withdrawal revocation, restoration of relinquished lands to the public domain, and withdrawal and transfer of public land into trust.
