Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Federal land sales for Pershing County
If enacted, the Secretary and Pershing County could jointly pick checkerboard federal parcels for sale or exchange. Offers of jointly selected parcels must be made within 90 days of joint selection. Sales would use competitive bidding, give adjoining owners a first option, and must fetch at least fair market value based on USPAP appraisals. Qualified owners of mining claims, millsites, or tunnels on encumbered land would be offered remaining federal interests within 90 days. Those qualified buyers must pay fair market value, cover conveyance costs, and the Secretary must accept offers within 180 days and convey within 180 days after acceptance. The Secretary must complete a mass appraisal within one year and every five years. Sale money would be split: 5% to Nevada for education, 10% to Pershing County, and the rest to a Pershing County Special Account for land buys and sale costs.
New wilderness protections in Pershing County
If enacted, about 136,000 acres in Pershing County would become new federal wilderness. Named areas include Cain Mountain, Bluewing, Selenite Peak, Mount Limbo, North Sahwave, Grandfathers, and Fencemaker. Boundaries next to roads would be set 100 feet from the road centerline. Grazing already established before enactment could continue under reasonable Secretary rules. The Secretary may carry out wildlife projects and limited, temporary motorized work when needed. The bill would bar most new federal funding or permits for water resource facilities in the wilderness, but it would still allow wildlife guzzlers. About 48,600 acres in certain wilderness study areas would be released from study constraints and managed under existing land plans. Agencies could place one temporary telecom device in Selenite Peak for up to seven years.
