SUMMARY: The Department of the Navy (DON) has filed an application to 
extend the current withdrawal of public lands from all forms of 
appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws, 
the mineral leasing laws, and the geothermal leasing laws, subject to 
valid existing rights, for military use of the Naval Air Station (NAS) 
Fallon, Fallon Range Training Complex (FRTC) in Churchill County, 
Nevada (withdrawal extension). The DON has also requested the 
withdrawal of approximately 604,789 additional acres of public lands 
from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including 
the mining laws, the mineral leasing laws, and the geothermal leasing 
laws, subject to valid existing rights (withdrawal expansion). This 
notice temporarily segregates the 604,789 acres from all forms of 
appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws, 
the mineral leasing laws, and the geothermal leasing laws, for 2 years; 
gives the public an opportunity to comment on the proposed withdrawal 
extension and withdrawal expansion; and announces the date, time, and 
location of public meetings on both the extension and the expansion.

DATES: Comments on the withdrawal applications, including their 
environmental consequences, should be received on or before December 1, 
2016. In addition, public meetings on the withdrawal applications will 
be held jointly with the DON's public meetings associated with the 
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA) evaluation 
of the withdrawals.. The dates and locations of the public meetings are 
listed in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to section 3016 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2000, Pub. L. 106-65, 
the Department of the Navy (DON) has filed an application to extend the 
current withdrawal of public lands from all forms of appropriation 
under the public land laws, including the mining laws, the mineral 
leasing laws (except for approximately 68,804 acres in the Dixie Valley 
Training Area which is currently included in the overall withdrawal but 
not withdrawn from the mineral leasing laws), and the geothermal 
leasing laws, subject to valid existing rights, for military use of the 
Naval Air Station (NAS) Fallon, Fallon Range Training Complex (FRTC) in 
Churchill County, Nevada. The lands are currently withdrawn under the 
Military Lands Withdrawal Act of 1999, which is part of the NDAA for 
Fiscal Year 2000, which reserves these lands for defense-related 
purposes for a period of 20 years. Unless Congress extends the 
withdrawal, it will expire on November 5, 2021.
    In addition to the DON's request that the current withdrawal be 
extended, the DON filed an application requesting the withdrawal and 
reservation of additional public lands for military training exercises 
involving the NAS Fallon at Fallon, Churchill County, Nevada. The 
application to expand the acreage of lands withdrawn for the Navy's use 
at Fallon seeks the withdrawal of approximately 604,789 additional 
acres of public lands from all forms of appropriation under the public 
land laws, including the mining laws, the mineral leasing laws, and the 
geothermal leasing laws, subject to valid existing rights.
    In addition, the application seeks to extend the existing 
withdrawal of 68,804 acres in the Dixie Valley Training Area (DVTA). 
Pursuant to Section 3011 of the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2000, the FRTC 
DVTA acres are currently withdrawn from all forms of appropriation 
under the public land laws, including the mining and geothermal leasing 
laws, but not withdrawn from the mineral leasing laws. This application 
seeks the withdrawal of these 68,804 acres of the DVTA from the mineral 
leasing laws, subject to valid existing rights. The DON's requested 
604,789 expansion acres do not include the 68,804 DVTA acres, as the 
DVTA acres are already withdrawn from the other public land laws, and 
reserved for DON use.
    As required by section 204(b)(1) of the Federal Land Policy and 
Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), 43 U.S.C. 1714(b)(1), and the BLM 
regulations at 43 CFR part 2300, the BLM is publishing this Notice of 
the DON applications. While the BLM and the Department of the Interior 
(DOI) assist the DON with the processing of withdrawal applications, 
and the Secretary of the Interior makes a recommendation to Congress on 
proposed withdrawals, it will be Congress, not the Secretary of the 
Interior, that will make the final decision on the requested extension 
and expansion of the existing NAS Fallon withdrawal.
    Extention request. This application requests extension of the 
withdrawal of the following area at the NAS FRTC, Nevada, subject to 
valid existing rights as described below: The areas B-16, B-17, B-19, 
B-20, Shoal Site, and the Dixie Valley Training Area aggregate 223,557 
acres. Portions of these lands

    Expansion request. In accordance with the Engle Act, (43 U.S.C. 
155-158), the DON has filed an application

[[Page 60739]]

requesting withdrawal and reservation of additional Federal lands for 
military training exercises involving the NAS Fallon at Fallon, 
Churchill County, Nevada (the ``expansion area''). The DON requests 
that the land be withdrawn from all forms of appropriation under the 
public land laws, including the mining laws, the mineral leasing laws, 
and the geothermal leasing laws, subject to valid existing rights, and 
reserved for use of the DON for testing and training involving air-to-
ground weapons delivery, tactical maneuvering, use of electromagnetic 
spectrum, land warfare maneuver, and air support, as well as other 
defense-related purposes consistent with these purposes. Pursuant to 
the Act, the FRTC Dixie Valley Training Area (DVTA) is currently 
withdrawn from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, 
including the mining and geothermal leasing laws, but not the mineral 
leasing laws. The DON application also seeks to withdraw the DVTA acres 
from the mineral leasing laws, subject to valid existing rights. The 
expansion area consists of the lands and interests in lands described 
below and adjacent to the exterior boundaries of the NAS FRTC, located 
in Churchill, Lyon, Mineral, Nye, and Pershing Counties, Nevada.
    The areas B-16, B-17, B-20, and the Dixie Valley Training Area 
aggregate 678,671 acres. Portions of these lands are unsurveyed and the

    The area described for Dixie Valley Training Area aggregates 
2,351.80 acres in Churchill and Mineral Counties.

    In the event any non-federally owned lands within the requested 
withdrawal area return or pass to Federal ownership in the future, they 
would be subject to the terms and conditions described above.
    The purpose of the requested withdrawal extension and expansion at 
NAS FRTC is to withdraw and reserve the lands for use by the DON for 
testing and training involving air-to-ground weapons delivery, tactical 
maneuvering, use of electromagnetic spectrum, land warfare maneuver, 
and air support, as well as other defense-related purposes consistent 
with these purposes. National defense requirements are rapidly evolving 
in response to new and emerging worldwide threat conditions. The 
Department of Defense has responded to these new and emerging threats 
with advances in combat platform and weapon technologies, in an effort 
to maintain a competitive edge in combat operations abroad. The 
evolution of modern combat systems has placed an increased demand on 
tactical training ranges to meet combat pre-deployment training 
requirements. All deploying naval strike aviation units train at the 
FRTC prior to deployment. Many deploying Naval Special Warfare units 
also train at FRTC. The introduction of modern and advanced weapons 
systems already exceeds the DON's ability to train realistically at the 
FRTC while maintaining public safety. According to the DON, Training 
protocols are severely limited due to a lack of adequate training space 
at the FRTC. These limitations diminish the DON's ability to train to 
realistic deployment methods of existing weapons systems. The DON 
indicates that extension and expansion of the withdrawn and reserved 
Federal lands at Fallon are essential to provide a realistic tactical 
training at the FRTC while continuing to provide for public safety.
    Copies of the legal descriptions and the maps depicting the lands 
that are the subject of the DON's applications are available for public 
inspection at the following offices:

State Director, BLM Nevada State Office, 1430 Financial Blvd., Reno, 
Nevada 89502
District Manager, BLM Carson City District Office, 5665 Morgan Mill

    For a period until December 1, 2016 all persons who wish to submit 
comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with the withdrawal 
applications may present their comments in writing to the persons and 
offices listed in the ADDRESSES section

above. All comments received will be considered before the Secretary of 
the Interior makes any recommendation for withdrawal to Congress.
    Notice is hereby given that public meetings addressing the 
withdrawal applications will be held jointly with the DON's public 
meetings associated with NEPA evaluation of the proposed withdrawals. 
Public meetings will be held at the following locations:

     Fallon Convention Center, Fallon, NV, October 3, 2016, 3-7

    The DON will be the lead agency for evaluation of the proposed 
withdrawal extension and expansion pursuant to NEPA and other 
applicable environmental and cultural resources authorities, and will 
be publishing its own scoping and other notices.
    Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents, will 
be available for public review at the DON and BLM addresses noted 
above, during regular business hours Monday through Friday, except 
Federal holidays. Before including your address, phone number, email 
address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you 
should be aware that your entire comment, including your personal 
identifying information, may be publicly available at any time. While 
you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying 
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be 
able to do so.
    Subject to valid existing rights, the Federal lands that are the 
subject of the DON application for expansion of the withdrawal and 
reservation for DON use at Fallon, and that are described in this 
Notice, will be segregated from all forms of appropriation under the 
public land laws, including the mining laws, the mineral leasing laws, 
and the geothermal leasing laws. The segregation will continue for a 
period until [two years from date of publication in Federal Register], 
unless the applications/proposal are denied or canceled or the 
withdrawal is approved prior to that date. In addition, subject to 
valid existing rights, 68,804 acres of land in the DVTA, described in 
this Notice, will be segregated from operation of the mineral leasing 
laws for the same two year period, unless the applications/proposal are 
denied or canceled or the withdrawal is approved within that period. 
Licenses, permits, cooperative agreements, or discretionary land use 
authorizations may be allowed during the period of segregation, but 
only with the approval of the authorized officer and, as appropriate, 
with the concurrence of DON.
    The applications for withdrawal and reservation will be processed 
in accordance with the regulations at 43 CFR part 2300.

    Authority: 43 U.S.C. 1714(b)(1) and 43 CFR 2300.
