SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On January 1, 2021, Public Law 116-283, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2021, was enacted. The NDAA under Title XXVIII, Subtitle E, Sec. 2843 extended the withdrawal of public land created by the Military Lands Withdrawal Act of 1999 (MLWA) (Title XXX of Public Law 106-65; 113 STAT. 885), as amended by Public Law 113-291 (128 STAT. 3878-3879), by establishing a termination date of November 6, 2046, for those lands withdrawn and reserved in section 3011(b) (113 STAT. 886) of the MLWA. Pursuant to section 3012 (113 STAT. 890) of the MLWA, this Notice advises the public of the official legal land description for the public lands withdrawn and reserved for use by the Secretary of the Air Force for military purposes. As the legal land description for the Nevada Test and Training Range was not published in the Federal Register following enactment of the MLWA, this Notice corrects that deficiency. The public lands withdrawn for the Nevada Test and Training Range are described as:
