SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DAF, Nellis AFB, has filed an 
application with the Department of the Interior to extend the duration 
of PLO No. 7419 for an additional 20-year term. The PLO withdrew 
approximately 2,252 acres of public lands from settlement, sale, 
location or entry under the general land laws, including the United 
States mining laws, but not from leasing under the mineral leasing 
laws, subject to valid existing rights. The purpose of the withdrawal 
is for military use at Nellis AFB to provide safety buffers from 
potentially hazardous areas, to protect populated areas, and to 
facilitate DAF compliance with the Department of Defense (DOD) 
Directive No. 6055.09E regarding ammunition and explosives safety 
standards. The safety buffer zone includes security patrol roads and a 
security checkpoint. PLO No. 7419 will expire on December 8, 2019, 
unless it is extended.
    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 BLM 
regulations at 43 CFR part 2300, the BLM is publishing Notice of the 
DAF, Nellis AFB Application.
    This Notice amends the legal land description and acreage in PLO 
No. 7419, as noted on an amended plat accepted by the Nevada BLM Chief, 
Cadastral Survey on October 17, 2016. The lands withdrawn by PLO No. 
7419 are described as follows:
