SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The purpose for which Congress withdrew and reserved these lands in 1996 requires this extension for military maneuvering, training and weapons firing and for other defense related purposes. The Army informed the Secretary of the Interior that extension of PLO No. 7783 for an additional 15 years is necessary to continue protecting the lands for military readiness purposes as described in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (Pub. L. 104-201).
Order
By virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of the Interior by section 204 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1714, it is ordered as follows:
1. Subject to valid existing rights, the withdrawal established by subtitle A of Title XXIX of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (Pub. L. 104-201, Sept. 23, 1996) and extended by PLO No. 7783 (76 FR 59157 (2011)), is hereby extended for an additional 15-year period. Public Law 104-201 withdrew approximately 3,133 acres of public lands and 11,415 acres of federally owned minerals at the Fort Carson Military Reservation, and 2,517 acres of public lands and approximately 130,139 acres of federally owned minerals from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws, mineral and geothermal leasing laws, and mineral materials disposal laws, and reserved the lands for use by the Army for military maneuvering, training and weapons firing, and other consistent defense-related purposes as specified in Subtitle A of the Public Law 104-201. The public lands and mineral estates referenced in the Public Law are described as follows:
