This proposed competitive sale is in conformance with the BLM Las
Vegas Resource Management Plan (RMP) and the decision LD-1, approved by
the Record of Decision (ROD) on October 5, 1998, and complies with
Section 203 of FLPMA. The proposed sale parcels were analyzed in the
Las Vegas Valley Disposal Boundary Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
and ROD issued on December 23, 2004. A parcel-specific DNA, document
number DOI-BLM-NV-S010-2017-0092-DNA, was prepared in connection with
this Notice of Realty Action.
Submit comments on this sale notice to the address in the ADDRESSES
section. 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 any 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. The BLM will also publish this Notice once a week for
three consecutive weeks in the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Sale procedures: Registration for oral bidding will begin at 8 a.m.
Pacific Time and will end at 10 a.m. Pacific Time at the City of
Henderson Council Chambers, 240 Water Street, Henderson, Nevada 89009,
on the day of the sale, January 24, 2018. There will be no prior
registration before the sale date. To participate in the competitive
sale, all registered bidders must submit a bid guarantee deposit in the
amount of $10,000 by certified check, postal money order, bank draft,
or cashier's check made payable to the Department of the Interior--
Bureau of Land Management on the day of the sale or submit the bid
guarantee deposit along with the sealed bids. The sale will be
[[Page 55629]]
conducted using both sealed and oral bids. In order to determine the
high bids among the qualified bids received, sealed bids will be opened
and recorded on the day of the sale. Sealed bids above the FMV will set
the starting point for oral bidding on a parcel. Parcels that receive
no qualified sealed bids will begin at the established FMV. Bidders who
participate in and attend the oral auction on the day of the sale are
not required to submit a sealed bid, but may choose to do so.
Sealed-bid envelopes must be clearly marked on the lower front left
corner with the parcel number and name of the sale, for example: ``N-
XXXXX, 40-parcel SNPLMA Winter Sale 2018.'' If multiple sealed bids are
submitted, only the envelope that contains the bid guarantee needs to
be noted with ``bid guarantee.'' Sealed bids must include an amount not
less than 20 percent of the total bid amount and the $10,000 bid
guarantee noted above by certified check, postal money order, bank
draft, or cashier's check made payable to the ``Department of the
Interior--Bureau of Land Management.'' The bid guarantee and bid
deposit may be combined into one form of deposit; the bidder must
specify the amounts of the bid deposit and the bid guarantee. If
multiple bids are received, the first sealed bid of the group must
include the $10,000 bid guarantee with the same bidder name. The BLM
will not accept personal or company checks. The sealed bid envelope
must contain the 20 percent bid deposit, bid guarantee, and a completed
and signed ``Certificate of Eligibility'' form stating the name,
mailing address, and telephone number of the entity or person
submitting the bid. Certificate of Eligibility and registration forms
are available at the BLM LVFO at the address listed in the ADDRESSES
section and on the BLM Web site at: https://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/snplma/Land_Auctions.html. Pursuant to 43 CFR 2711.3-1(c), if two or
more sealed bid envelopes containing valid bids of the same amount are
received, oral bidding will start at the sealed bid amount. If there
are no oral bids on the parcel, the authorized officer will determine
the winning bidder. Bids for less than the federally approved FMV will
not be qualified. The highest qualifying bid for any parcel will be
declared the high bid. The apparent high bidder must submit a deposit
of not less than 20 percent of the successful bid by 3 p.m. Pacific
Time on the day of the sale in the form of a certified check, postal
money order, bank draft, or cashier's check made payable in U.S.
dollars to the ``Department of the Interior--Bureau of Land
Management.'' Funds must be delivered by no later than 3 p.m. Pacific
Time on the day of the sale to the BLM Collection Officers at the City
of Henderson Council Chambers, 240 Water Street, Henderson, Nevada
89009. Funds will not be accepted at the BLM-Las Vegas Field Office
location. The BLM will send the successful bidder(s) a high-bidder
letter with detailed information for full payment.
All funds submitted with unsuccessful bids will be returned to the
bidders or their authorized representative upon presentation of
acceptable photo identification at the BLM Las Vegas Field Office or by
certified mail. The apparent high bidder may choose to apply the bid
guarantee toward the required deposit. Failure to submit the deposit
following the close of the sale under 43 CFR 2711.3-1(d) will result in
forfeiture of the bid guarantee. If the successful bidder offers to
purchase more than one parcel and fails to submit the 20 percent bid
deposit resulting in default on any single parcel following the sale,
the BLM will retain the $10,000 bid guarantee, and may cancel the sale
of all the parcels to that bidder. If a high bidder is unable to
consummate the transaction for any reason, the BLM may offer the parcel
to the second highest bidder. If there are no acceptable bids, a parcel
may remain available for sale at a future date in accordance with
competitive sale procedures without further legal notice.
Federal law requires that bidders must be: (1) A citizen of the
United States who are 18 years of age or older; (2) A corporation
subject to the laws of any State or of the United States; (3) A State,
State instrumentality, or political subdivision authorized to hold
property; or (4) An entity legally capable of conveying and holding
lands or interests therein under the laws of the State of Nevada.
Evidence of United States citizenship is a birth certificate,
passport, or naturalization papers. Failure to submit the above
documents to the BLM within 30 days from receipt of the high-bidder
letter will result in cancellation of the sale and forfeiture of the
bid deposit. Citizenship documents and Articles of Incorporation (as
applicable) must be provided to the BLM Las Vegas Field Office for each
sale. The successful bidder is allowed 180 days from the date of the
sale to submit the remainder of the full purchase price.
According to SNPLMA, as amended, section 4 (c) of Public Law 105-
263, lands identified within the Las Vegas Valley Disposal Boundary are
withdrawn from location and entry under the mining laws, and from
operation under the mineral leasing and geothermal leasing laws until
such times as the Secretary terminates the withdrawal or the lands are
patented. Any subsequent applications will not be accepted, will not be
considered as filed, and will be returned to the applicant. The
segregative effect of this Notice terminates upon issuances of a patent
or other document of conveyance to such lands, publication in the
Federal Register of a termination of the segregative effect, or two
years after the date of this publication, whichever occurs first. The
segregation period may not exceed two years unless extended by the BLM
State Director, Nevada, in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1-2(d) prior to
the termination date.
Terms and Conditions: All minerals for the sale parcels will be
reserved to the United States. The patents, when issued, will contain a
mineral reservation to the United States for all minerals. To clarify a
mineral reservation as it relates to mineral materials, such as sand
and gravel, interested parties may refer to 43 CFR 3601.71(b). The
regulation provides that the owner of the surface estate of lands with
reserved Federal minerals may ``use a minimal amount of mineral
materials for . . . personal use'' within the boundaries of the surface
estate without a sales contract or permit. Further, the regulation
provides that all other use, absent statutory or other express
authority, requires a sales contract or permit. We refer interested
parties to the explanation of this regulatory language in the preamble
to the final rule published in the Federal Register on November 23,
2001, (66 FR 58891), which stated that minimal use ``would not include
large-scale use of mineral materials, even within the boundaries of the
surface estate.'' Further explanation is contained in BLM Instruction
Memorandum No. 2014- 085 (April 23, 2014), available on BLM's Web site
at https://www.blm.gov/policy/woim-2014-085.
The parcels are subject to limitations prescribed by law and
regulation, and certain encumbrances in favor of third parties. Prior
to patent issuance, a holder of any right-of-way (ROW) within the sale
parcels will have the opportunity to amend the ROW for conversion to a
new term, including perpetuity, if applicable, or conversion to an
easement. The BLM will notify valid existing ROW holders of record of
their ability to convert their compliant ROWs to perpetual ROWs or
easements. In accordance with Federal regulations at 43 CFR 2807.15,
once notified, each
[[Page 55630]]
valid holder may apply for the conversion of their current
authorization.
The following terms and conditions will appear on the conveyance
documents for the sale parcels:
1. All minerals deposits in the lands so patented, and to it, or
persons authorized by it, the right to prospect for, mine, and remove
such deposits from the same under applicable law and regulations to be
established by the Secretary of the Interior are reserved to the United
States, together with all necessary access and exit rights;
2. A right-of-way is reserved for ditches and canals constructed by
authority of the United States under the Act of August 30, 1890 (43
U.S.C. 945);
3. The parcels are subject to valid existing rights;
4. The parcels are subject to reservations for road, public
utilities and flood control purposes, both existing and proposed, in
accordance with the local governing entities' transportation plans; and
5. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United
States from claims arising out of the lessees/patentee's use,
occupancy, or occupations on the leased/patented lands.
Pursuant to the requirements established by Section 120(h) of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act,
42 U.S.C. 9620(h) (CERCLA), as amended, notice is hereby given that the
lands have been examined and no evidence was found to indicate that any
hazardous substances have been stored for one year or more, nor had any
hazardous substances been disposed of or released on the subject
property.
No warranty of any kind, express or implied, is given by the United
States as to the title, whether or to what extent the land may be
developed, its physical condition, future uses, or any other
circumstance or condition. The conveyance of a parcel will not be on a
contingency basis. However, to the extent required by law, the parcel
is subject to the requirements of Section 120(h) of the CERCLA.
Designation of the escrow agent will be through mutual agreement
between the BLM and the prospective patentee, and any costs associated
with escrow will be borne by the prospective patentee, unless the BLM
authorized officer approves other satisfactory arrangements in advance.
The BLM Las Vegas Field Office must receive the request for escrow
instructions prior to 30 days before the prospective patentee has
scheduled closing date. There are no exceptions.
All name changes and supporting documentation must be received at
the BLM Las Vegas Field Office 30 days from the date on the high-bidder
letter by 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time. There are no exceptions. To submit a
name change, the apparent high bidder must submit the name change in
writing on the Certificate of Eligibility form to the BLM Las Vegas
Field Office.
The remainder of the full bid price for the parcel must be received
no later than 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time, within 180 days following the day
of the sale. Payment must be submitted in the form of a certified
check, postal money order, bank draft, cashier's check, or made
available by electronic fund transfer made payable in U.S. dollars to
the ``Department of the Interior--Bureau of Land Management'' to the
BLM Las Vegas Field Office. The BLM will not accept personal or company
checks.
Arrangements for electronic fund transfer to the BLM for payment of
the balance due must be made a minimum of two weeks prior to the
payment date. Failure to pay the full bid price within 180 days of the
sale date will disqualify the high bidder and forfeit the entire 20
percent bid deposit to the BLM. Forfeiture of the 20 percent bid
deposit is in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.3-1(d). No exceptions will be
made. The BLM must receive the balance of the full bid price within 180
days after the sale date.
The BLM will not sign any documents related to 1031 Exchange
transactions. The timing for completion of such an exchange is the
bidder's responsibility. The BLM cannot be a party to any 1031
Exchange.
In accordance with 43 CFR 2711.3-1(f), within 30 days the BLM may
accept or reject any or all offers to purchase, or withdraw any parcel
of land or interest therein from sale if the BLM authorized officer
determines consummation of the sale would be inconsistent with any law,
or for other reasons as may be provided by applicable law or
regulations. No contractual or other rights against the United States
may accrue until the BLM officially accepts the offer to purchase and
the full bid price is paid.
Upon publication of this Notice and until completion of this sale,
the BLM will no longer accept land use applications affecting the
parcel identified for sale. The parcel may be subject to land use
applications received prior to publication of this Notice if processing
the application would have no adverse effect on the marketability of
title, or the FMV of the parcel. Information concerning the sale,
encumbrances of record, appraisals, reservations, procedures and
conditions, CERCLA, and other environmental documents that may appear
in the BLM public files for the sale parcels, are available for review
during business hours, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time, Monday through
Friday, at the BLM Las Vegas Field Office, except during Federal
holidays.
In order to determine the FMV through appraisal, certain
extraordinary assumptions and hypothetical conditions may have been
made concerning the attributes and limitations of the lands and
potential effects of local regulations and policies on potential future
land uses. Through publication of this Notice, the BLM advises that
these assumptions may not be endorsed or approved by units of local
government.
It is the buyer's responsibility to be aware of all applicable
Federal, State, and local government laws, regulations, and policies
that may affect the subject lands, including any required dedication of
lands for public uses. It is the buyer's responsibility to be aware of
existing or prospective uses of nearby properties. When conveyed out of
Federal ownership, the lands will be subject to any applicable laws,
regulations, and policies of the applicable local government for
proposed future uses. It is the responsibility of the buyer to be aware
through due diligence of those laws, regulations, and policies, and to
seek any required local approvals for future uses. Buyers should make
themselves aware of any Federal or State law or regulation that may
affect the future use of the property. Any land lacking access from a
public road or highway will be conveyed as such, and future access
acquisition will be the responsibility of the buyer. The BLM Nevada
State Director or other authorized official of the Department of the
Interior, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action in
response to such comments, will review any comments regarding the sale.
In the absence of any comments, this realty action will become the
final determination of the Department of the Interior.
