functioning of the BLM, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;

of the burden of collecting the
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
3. The quality, utility and clarity of
the information to be collected; and
4. How to minimize the information
collection burden on those who are to
respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other forms of
information technology.

cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Eureka
Moly, LLC (EML) has submitted a Plan
of Operations (NVN–082096) to the
BLM Mount Lewis Field Office for the
proposed Mount Hope Molybdenum
Mining Project. The proposed project
would be located in central Nevada
approximately 23 miles northwest of
Eureka, Nevada. The project is a
proposed molybdenum mine and
includes a power transmission line, a
water well field, and all associated
mine-processing facilities. The project is
to be located on both public and private
lands in Eureka County, Nevada, and is
expected to have a mine life of 80 years.
The surface disturbance associated with
the proposed activities totals 8,092 acres
of public land and 263 acres of private
land located within the 22,886-acre
project area. The project proposal is to
extract molybdenite from public lands
where EML holds mining claims and
private land to the optimal extent
possible. After extraction, EML would
reclaim the project area in a manner that
is environmentally responsible and in
compliance with Federal mining laws,
the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act (FLPMA), Nevada
Mine Reclamation Law, and other
applicable laws and regulations. The
BLM, in accordance with the FLPMA, is
to respond to the applicant’s Plan of
Operations to conduct mining under the
General Mining Law.
The Final EIS describes and analyzes
the project’s site-specific impacts
(including cumulative) on all affected
resources. Four action alternatives
including: (1) The Proposed Action, (2)
Partial Backfill Alternative, (3) Off-Site
Transfer of Ore Concentrate for
Processing Alternative, and (4) Slower,
Longer Project Alternative, were
analyzed in addition to the No Action
Alternative.
The Proposed Action would consist of
an open pit mine with associated pit
dewatering, a 230-kilovolt transmission
line, a water well field, and ancillary
mining facilities, including a
molybdenite concentrate roaster and
packaging plant and a ferromolybdenum
plant for production of
ferromolybdenum alloy. The project
