SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The parcel of land is located southwest of

described as:
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 22 S., R. 60 E.,
Sec. 14, NW\1/4\NE\1/4\SW\1/4\ and E\1/2\NE\1/4\NW\1/4\SW\1/4\.
The area described contains 15 acres, more or less, in Clark
County.
In accordance with the R&PP Act, Clark County has filed an
application to develop the above-described land as a community park
with covered play structures, restrooms, parking, picnic pavilions,
open turf areas, walking path, basketball courts, landscaping, lighting
signage, and other ancillary amenities. Additional detailed information
pertaining to this application, plan of development, and site plan is
located in case file N-94234, which is available for review at the BLM
Las Vegas Field Office at the above address.
Clark County is a political subdivision of the State of Nevada; and
is therefore, a qualified applicant under the R&PP Act.
Subject to limitations prescribed by law and regulation, prior to
patent issuance, the holder of any right-of-way grant within the lease
area may be given the opportunity to amend the right-of-way grant for
conversion to a new term, including perpetuity, if applicable.
The land identified is not needed for any Federal purpose. The
lease and/or conveyance is consistent with the BLM Las Vegas Resource
Management Plan dated October 5, 1998, and would be in the public
interest. Clark County has not applied for more than the 640-acre
limitation for public purpose uses in a year and has submitted a
statement in compliance with the regulations at 43 CFR 2741.4(b).
The lease and conveyance, when issued, will be subject to the
provisions of the R&PP Act and applicable regulations of the Secretary
of the Interior, and will contain the following reservations to the
United States:
1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945);
and
2. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove such deposits from the
same under applicable law and such regulations as the Secretary of the
Interior may prescribe.
Any lease and conveyance will also be subject to valid existing
rights, will contain any terms or conditions required by law
(including, but not limited to, any terms or conditions required by 43
CFR 2741.4), and will contain an appropriate indemnification clause
protecting the United States from claims arising out of the lessee's/
patentee's use, occupancy, or operations on the leased/patented lands.
It will also contain any other terms and conditions deemed necessary
and appropriate by the Authorized Officer.
Any lease and conveyance will also be subject to all valid and
existing rights.
Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the land
described above will be segregated from all other
[[Page 20668]]
forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the
general mining laws, except for lease and conveyance under the R&PP
Act, leasing under the mineral leasing laws, and disposals under the
mineral material disposal laws.
Interested parties may submit written comments on the suitability
of the land for a public park in the Enterprise area. Comments on the
classification are restricted to whether the land is physically suited
for the proposal, whether the use will maximize the future use or uses
of the land, whether the use is consistent with local planning and
zoning, or if the use is consistent with State and Federal programs.
Interested parties may also submit written comments regarding the
specific use proposed in the application and plan of development, and
whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures in reaching
the decision to lease and convey under the R&PP Act.
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be
able to do so. Only written comments submitted to the Field Manager,
BLM Las Vegas Field Office, will be considered properly filed. Any
adverse comments will be reviewed by the BLM Nevada State Director, who
may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action.
In the absence of any adverse comments, the decision will become
effective on June 7, 2016. The lands will not be available for lease
and conveyance until after the decision becomes effective.
Authority: 43 CFR 2741.5.
Frederick Marcell,
Acting Assistant Field Manager, Division of Lands, Las Vegas Field
Office.
