Sec. 21, N1⁄2;

The general area of which

for future sale in the Las Vegas Valley 

Disposal Boundary Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS), approved by 

Record of Decision on December 23, 

2004. The proposed sale parcel N– 


emcdonald on DSK29S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
20414 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 65 / Wednesday, April 4, 2012 / Notices 

90450, is being analyzed in a site 

specific environmental assessment 

number DOI–BLM–NV–S010–2012– 

0017–EA. Upon publication of this 

notice, the EA is available at the BLM 

Las Vegas Field Office for public review 

and comments. Only written comments 

submitted within 45 days from 

publication of this notice will be 

considered properly filed. Submit 

comments at 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. 

This proposed modified competitive, 

sealed-bid sale is in conformance with 

the BLM Las Vegas Resource 

Management Plan (RMP), approved by 

Record of Decision on October 5, 1998. 

More specifically, the proposed action 

conforms to the RMP decision LD–1, 

which provides that ‘‘Approximately 

175,314 acres of public lands within the 

disposal areas identified on Map 2–3 are 

potentially available for disposal 

through sale, exchange, or Recreation 

and Public Purpose patent to provide for 

the orderly expansion and development 

of southern Nevada.’’ 

The property was proposed for sale 

pursuant to the SNPLMA, when the 

parcel was nominated by the City of 

Henderson to provide for community 

expansion and private uses consistent 

with City planning. Further, the City of 

Henderson has requested consideration 

for Silver State Land LLC, a Delaware 

limited liability company, as the 

designated bidder for this property. 

Silver State Land LLC and the City of 

Henderson have developed an 

agreement that provides for long-term 

public benefits to the City and local 

residents. Through collaboration and 

partnership with the City of Henderson, 

Silver State Land LLC agrees to develop 

the property for public recreation and 

commercial uses approved by the City 

of Henderson. Silver State Land LLC 

proposes to build enclosed, covered 

stadiums to create a distinctive sports 

venue and mixed-use facilities. The 

project would provide an economic 

diversification for southern Nevada and 

is proposed to be a national and 

international sports complex. 

After considering the City of 

Henderson’s request, the BLM 

determined that a modified competitive, 

sealed-bid sale will be the appropriate 

method for disposal of this parcel. The 

use of the modified competitive, sealedbid sale method is consistent with 

regulations at 43 CFR 2711.3–2(a). 

Public lands may be offered for sale 

utilizing modified competitive bidding 

procedures when the authorized officer 

determines it is necessary in order to 

assure equitable distribution of land 

among purchasers or to recognize 

equitable considerations or public 

policies. Under the modified 

competitive bidding procedure provided 

in 43 CFR 2711.3–2(a)(1)(i), a designated 

bidder is offered the right to meet the 

highest bid. Refusal or failure to meet 

the highest bid shall constitute a waiver 

of the modified competitive bidding 

procedure for this proposed sale. For 

this sale, Silver State Land LLC will be 

the designated bidder. 

Sale procedures: To participate in the 

modified competitive, sealed-bid sale 

each bidder, including the designated 

bidder, must submit a bid guarantee 

deposit in the amount of $20,000 by 

certified check, postal money order, 

bank draft, or cashier’s check made 

payable to the DOI–Bureau of Land 

Management, in addition to the 

percentage of the sealed bid amount as 

described below. Personal or company 

checks will not be accepted. Sealed bids 

for the sale must also include a certified 

check, postal money order, bank draft, 

or cashier’s check made payable to the 

DOI–Bureau of Land Management in an 

amount not less than 20 percent of the 

total amount bid. For your convenience, 

this bid deposit amount and the bid 

guarantee may be combined into one 

form of deposit. These two payments 

must specify what amount goes towards 

the bid deposit and the bid guarantee. 

Sealed bid envelopes must be clearly 

marked on the front lower left corner 

with ‘‘Sealed Bid, BLM Land Sale, N– 

90450.’’ The sealed bid envelope must 

contain the $20,000 bid guarantee, the 

20 percent bid deposit, and the 

completed BLM form, ‘‘Certificate of 

Eligibility,’’ stating the name, mailing 

address, and telephone number of the 

entity or person submitting the bid. 

Certificate of Eligibility forms are 

available at the BLM Las Vegas Field 

Office at the address listed above and on 

the BLM Web site at: http:// 

www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/snplma/ 

Land_Auctions.html. Sealed bids will be 

opened and recorded to determine the 

high bidder on June 4, 2012. The high 

bid among the qualified bids received 

will be declared. 

Silver State Land LLC or their 

authorized representative must be 

present at the bid opening. Should the 

Silver State Land LLC appoint an 

authorized representative for this sale, 

they must provide a written, notarized, 

and lawfully executed document 

specifying the level of capacity given to 

the representative. The document must 

be signed by both Silver State Land LLC 

and its representative. Silver State Land 

LLC or its representative will have the 

opportunity at the bid opening to meet 

and accept the high bid as the purchase 

price. Should the Silver State Land LLC 

or its representative refuse to meet the 

declared high bid, that bidder will be 

declared the successful bidder in 

accordance with the regulations at 

43 CFR 2711.3–2(c). Acceptance or 

rejection of any offer to purchase will be 

in accordance with the regulations at 

43 CFR 2711.3–1(f) and (g). 

All funds submitted with 

unsuccessful bids will be returned to 

the bidders or their authorized 

representative upon presentation of 

acceptable photo identification at the 

address above, or will be returned by 

certified mail. The successful bidder 

may elect a refund of the $20,000 bid 

guarantee, or may elect to apply it 

toward the final purchase price. The 

successful bidder will be allowed 180 

calendar days from the date of the sale 

to submit the remainder of the full 

purchase price. 

Within 30 days of the sale, the BLM 

will, in writing, either accept or reject 

all bids received. No contractual or 

other rights against the United States 

may accrue until the BLM authorized 

officer officially accepts the high bid 

offer to purchase and the full bid price 

is paid. 

If there are no acceptable bids, the 

parcel may remain available for sale at 

a future date in accordance with 

competitive sale procedures without 

further notice. 

Federal law requires that qualified 

bidders must be (a) a citizen of the 

United States 18 years of age or older; 

(b) A corporation subject to the laws of 

any State or of the United States; (c) A 

State, State instrumentality, or political 

subdivision authorized to hold real 

property; and (d) An entity legally 

capable of conveying and holding lands 

or interests therein under the laws of the 

State within which the lands to be 

conveyed are located. Where applicable, 

the entity shall also meet the 

requirements of (a) and (b) of this 

paragraph. United States citizenship is 

evidenced by presenting a birth 

certificate, passport, or naturalization 

papers. Failure to submit the 

appropriate documents to the BLM 

within 30 days from receipt of the highbidder letter shall result in cancellation 

of the sale and forfeiture of the bid 

deposit.

The timing for completion of 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), the BLM may accept or reject any 

or all offers to purchase, or withdraw 

any parcel of land or interest therein 

from sale, if, in the opinion of a BLM 

authorized officer, consummation of the 

sale would be inconsistent with any 

law, or for other reasons as may be 

provided by applicable law or 

regulations. 

Upon publication of this notice and 

until completion of the sale, the BLM is 

no longer accepting land use 

applications affecting the parcel 

identified for sale. However, land use 

applications may be considered after the 

date of the auction offering if the parcel 

is not sold. Encumbrances of record that 

may appear in the BLM public files for 

the parcel proposed for sale are 

available for review during business 

hours, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Pacific 

Time, Monday through Friday, at the 

BLM Las Vegas Field Office, except 

during federally recognized 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 

also 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 will be the 

responsibility of the purchaser to be 

aware through due diligence of those 

laws, regulations, and policies, and to 

seek any required local approvals for 

future uses. Buyers should also make 

themselves aware of any Federal or 

State law or regulation that may impact 

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. 

Information concerning the sale, 

appraisals, reservations, procedures and 

conditions, CERCLA, and other 

environmental documents are available 

for review at the BLM Las Vegas Field 

Office at the address in the ADDRESSES

section. 

Any adverse comments regarding the 

proposed sale will be reviewed by 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 the absence 

of any adverse comments, this realty 

action will become the final 

determination of the Department of the 

Interior.

I. Abstract 

The U.S. Trade Representative has

report that (1) provides estimates and 

details of U.S. exports of used electronic 

products, and the share of exports 

compared to all used electronic 

products sold or processed in the 

United States, (2) describes U.S. 

companies that export used electronic 

products, and (3) describes the foreign 

enterprises that import used electronic 

products from the United States. The 

Commission will base its report on a 

review of available data and other 

information, including the collection of 

primary data through a survey of 

enterprises engaged in the processing of 

used electronic products. 

The report will cover 2011 annual 

data, and to the extent practicable will 

estimate and describe the following: 

a. The type, volume, and value of, and 

foreign markets of significance for, 

exports of used electronic products from 

the United States; 

b. The forms and activities, with 

respect to used electronic products, of 

enterprises receiving U.S. exporters’ 

shipments, most common end uses of 

exports in the foreign market (i.e., 

further processing, final disposal, etc.), 

and the extent of cross-border, intra-firm 

shipments by U.S. exporters;
