To amend the Military Lands Withdrawal Act of 1999 to clarify the authority of Department of Defense to conduct certain military activities at the Nevada test and training range, and for other purposes.
HR 6070 clarifies the Department of Defense's authority to conduct specific military activities at Nevada's Test and Training Range. It explicitly authorizes emergency response, construction of up to 15 small electronic tracking sites (max 150x150 feet), and maintenance of existing roads for threat emitters. The bill also requires the Department of Defense and the Department of the Interior to jointly establish an interagency committee to coordinate activities and minimize conflicts with the Desert National Wildlife Refuge. This update ensures military operations align with wildlife refuge protections under existing law.
