Public comment is being sought on the proposed acquisition of 14,522 acres of environmentally sensitive lands owned by Bently Family Limited Partnership by the Bureau of Land Management.

The purchase is part of Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act Round 15 nominations. Public comments will be accepted through July 15, 2018.

The land proposed to be acquired in fee is located in the Pine Nut Mountain Planning Management Unit of the Bi-State Action Plan, and would consolidate federal ownership and management for the protection of Bi-State Sage Grouse Critical Habitat, cultural resources, riparian areas, and other wildlife habitat, and improve public access.
