The Bureau of Land Management has extended Public Land Order No. 6591 for 20 more years to continue protecting certain public lands in Nevada for the United States Air Force. These lands, on Halligan Mesa in Nye County, are withdrawn from activities like settlement and mining but can still be leased under mineral leasing laws. This extension is crucial to maintain the secure operation of national defense activities at the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) by safeguarding a communication site and support facilities. The extension of the order takes effect on April 11, 2025, and will last until 2045 unless reviewed and further extended.

The Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management has extended a previous order to keep 1,979 acres of land reserved for the United States Air Force for another 20 years. This land is part of the Nevada Test and Training Range, and the order, originally set to expire on May 5, 2025, is crucial for maintaining the safety and security of national defense activities. The decision is made under the authority of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, and the extension ensures the ongoing protection of military support facilities.
