Secretary of the Interior, and will contain the following reservations

the authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 
U.S.C. 945).
    2. All mineral deposits in the land so patented, and to it, or 
persons authorized by it, the right to prospect, mine and remove 
such deposits from the same under applicable law and regulations to 
be established by the Secretary of the Interior.

    And will be subject to:

    Those rights for road and underground utility purposes granted 
to the City of Sparks, Nevada, its successors or assigns, by right-
of-way N-59826 pursuant to the Act of October 21, 1976 (43 U.S.C. 
1761).
    Those rights for a water pump station granted to Sierra Pacific 
Power Company, its successors or assigns, by right-of-way N-61493

Pacific Power Company, its successors or assigns, by right-of-way N-
62493 pursuant to the Act of February 25, 1920 (41 Stat 437).

    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the land 
will be segregated from all forms of appropriation under the public 
land laws, including the general mining laws, except for lease or 
conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and leasing 
under the mineral leasing laws. For a period of 45 days after

Classification Comments

    Interested parties may submit comments involving the suitability of 
the land for a worship center. 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.

Application Comments

    Interested parties may submit 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
