The land is not required for any 

federal purpose. The lease and/or

reviewed by the State Director. In the

SUMMARY: The following described land 

in Clark County, Nevada, has been 

examined and found suitable for direct 

sale under section 203 of the Federal 

Land Policy and Management Act of 

1976 (Pub. L. 94–579, as amended; 43 

CFR 2711.3–3).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Anna Wharton, Supervisory Realty 

Specialist, (702) 515–5095.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

following described land in Clark 

County, Nevada, was patented to the 

State of Nevada, Division of State Lands, 

pursuant to the Act of Congress of June 

14, 1926 (44 Stat. 741, as amended; 43 

U.S.C. 869), on July 20, 1983 for a 

prison (N–25221–02).

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada, 

T. 16 S., 57 E., 

Sec. 33, lots 1 to 12, inclusive, N1⁄2.

Containing 687.09 acres, more or less. 

The patent contains a reversionary 

interest to the United States. The State 

of Nevada requests the purchase of the 

reversionary interest at not less than the 

fair market value of $124,000, as 

determined by a BLM-approved 

appraisal for a portion of the patented 

land, on the following described land. 

These lands were also previously 

segregated from mineral entry under 

case file number N–61968FD, with 

record notation as of October 1, 1997. 

This segregation on the following 

described land will terminate upon 

publication of this Notice of Realty

under the provisions of section 203 of 

the Federal Land Policy and 

Management Act of 1976 (P.L. 94–579, 

as amended; 43 CFR 2711.3–3). 

Direct sale procedures to the State of 

Nevada are considered appropriate, in 

this case, as the land described above 

was patented to the State of Nevada, and 

transfer of the Federal interest to any 

other entity would not protect existing 

equities in the land. The direct sale is 

consistent with the current Bureau 

planning for this area and would be in 

the public interest. The land is not 

required for any Federal purpose. The 

patent will be subject to the provisions 

of the Federal Land Policy and 

Management Act and applicable 

regulations of the Secretary of the 

Interior and the land will continue to be 

subject to the following reservations to 

the United States: 

1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches 

or canals constructed by the authority of

applicable law and such regulations as 

the Secretary of the Interior may 

prescribe.

action, including the approved appraisal

sale. Any adverse comments will be 

reviewed by the State Director. 

In the absence of any adverse 

comments, the decision will become 

effective April 12, 2004. The lands will 

not be offered for conveyance until after 

the decision becomes effective.
