SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with Section 7 of the Taylor 
Grazing Act, (43 U.S.C. 315f) and Executive Order No. 6910, the 
following described public land in Clark County, Nevada, has been 
examined and found suitable for classification for lease and/or 
conveyance under the provisions of the R&PP Act:

Mount Diablo Meridian

T. 20 S., R. 59 E.,
    Sec. 1, lot 1, E\1/2\SW\1/4\NE\1/4\, SW\1/4\SW\1/4\NE\1/4\, 
SE\1/4\NE\1/4\, E\1/2\SE\1/4\.
T. 20 S., R. 60 E.,
    Sec. 6, lots 5, 6, and 7.

    The area described contains 303.66 acres, more or less, in Clark 
County.
    This description will be refined upon final approval of the 
official plat of survey.

    The parcel is located in the northwest part of the Las Vegas Valley 
and contains the geologic feature known locally as Lone Mountain. The 
park is generally south of the intersection between Lone Mountain Road 
and the Bruce Woodbury Beltway.
    In accordance with the R&PP Act, Clark County has filed an 
application in which it proposes to develop the above-described land as 
a regional park with a recreation center, swimming pool, library, ball 
fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, playground, children's play 
area, restrooms, picnic areas, trailhead facilities, walking and 
jogging trails, parking lot, turf establishment, landscaping, lighting, 
utilities and ancillary equipment. Additional detailed information 
pertaining to this application, plan of development, and site plan is 
located in case file N-75701, 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/or 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/or 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/or conveyance 
will also be subject to:
    1. Right-of-way N-66444 for road and sewer purposes granted to the 
City of Las Vegas, its successors or assigns, pursuant to the Federal 
Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of October 21, 1976 (43 U.S.C. 
1761);
    2. Right-of-way N-52803 for detention basin purposes granted to the 
City of Las Vegas, its successors or assigns, pursuant to FLPMA;
    3. Right-of-way N-62096 for water pipeline purposes granted to the 
Las Vegas Valley Water District, its successors or assigns, pursuant to 
FLPMA;
    4. Right-of-way N-66793 for telephone line purposes granted to the 
Central Telephone Co., its successors or assigns, pursuant to FLPMA; 
and
    5. Right-of-way N-74688 and Nev043546 for power line purposes 
granted to Nevada Power Co., its successors or assigns, pursuant to 
FLPMA;
    On December 29, 2010 the land described above will be segregated 
from all other forms of appropriation under the public land laws, 
including the general mining laws, except for lease and/or 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 regional park. 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 submit written comments regarding the 
specific use proposed in the application and plan of development, 
whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures in reaching 
the decision, or any other factor not directly related to the 
suitability of the land for R&PP use.
    Only written comments 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 
classification of the land described in this notice will become 
effective on February 28, 2011. The land will not be available for 
lease or conveyance until after the classification becomes effective.
    Before including your address, phone number, e-mail 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.

    Authority:  43 CFR 2741.5.

Beth Ransel,
Acting Assistant Field Manager, Division of Lands, Las Vegas Field 
Office.
