Within thirty (30) days after adoption of this chapter, and at the beginning of each calendar year thereafter, the chairman of the board of Pershing County commissioners, on behalf of the board, or his designee, shall give to federal entities written notice as follows:
A. That the county government of Pershing County demands, pursuant to adopted federal statutes and regulations, full and complete notice and opportunity for involvement in the decision making processes of the federal entity that:
1. Are being taken or are being proposed to be taken regarding federal lands located within the state of Nevada,
2. Involve listing, delisting, classification or reclassification of a threatened or endangered species or any designated habitat within the county, or
3. Involve any major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human and natural environment within the county;
B. That failure of federal entities to afford Pershing County complete notice and opportunity for involvement beyond that afforded individuals, or to limit state and county government involvement, input to or comment at public hearings, is presumed to be prejudicial to the government of Pershing County and its residents, and that the board of Pershing County commissioners is authorized and empowered by this chapter to authorize and instruct the Pershing County district attorney to seek redress for such prejudice in the federal courts and through administrative hearings;
C. That, within the county's budgetary constraints, the county will notify federal entities of any other evidence of the county's interrelated historic, cultural and environmental heritage, as well as the anticipated impact on the same of any use of federal or private lands situated within the county.
