The extended timeframe means that the comment period on the Draft RMP/EIS, which originally was set to close January 7, 2015, will now close February 6, 2015.
Once finalized, the Las Vegas and Pahrump Field Offices RMP will provide management direction for the 3.1 million acres of public land in southern Nevada managed by the Southern Nevada District Office.
