# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The heliport facility will lie within a corridor established by Public Law 107-282 dated November 6, 2002. The 2,640-foot wide Transportation and Utilities Corridor will be located along Interstate 15 south of Las Vegas Valley to the border between the states of California and Nevada, and will be managed for multiple uses.

The following described public land in Clark County, Nevada, has been examined and found suitable for conveyance to Clark County for airport purposes. The parcel of land is located south of Las Vegas, Nevada, approximately 3.5 miles southwest of the Sloan Road and Interstate 15 interchange and east of State Route 604, and is described as:

## Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 24 S., R. 60 E.,

                        Sec. 1, that portion lying east of State Route 604 as depicted as Tract A on the map entitled                         *Clark County Public Heliport Facility,*                         dated May 3, 2004.                    

The area described contains 229 acres, more or less.

Public Law 109-115, Section 180, directs the Secretary of the Interior to convey to Clark County, Nevada, all right, title, and interest of the United States in the parcel described, subject to valid existing rights and for no consideration. Clark County must use the parcel for the operation of a heliport. If the County ceases to use any of the land conveyed for the purpose described, title to the parcel will revert to the United States, at the option of the United States, and the County will be responsible for any reclamation necessary.

                    The land is not needed for any Federal purpose. The conveyance is consistent with the BLM Las Vegas Resource Management Plan, dated October 5, 1998, and would be in the public interest. The proposed conveyance for the Southern Nevada Regional Heliport was analyzed in the environmental analysis (EA)                     *Proposed Southern Nevada Regional Heliport.*                     This document was approved by the Federal Aviation Administration on December 9, 2008. The BLM is a cooperating agency on the preparation of the EA and will issue its own decision. A copy of the EA and the reference map are available at the Las Vegas Field Office.                

                    Upon publication of this notice in the                     **Federal Register**                    , the land described will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the general mining laws. The conveyance, when issued, will be subject to:
