-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The following public land in Washoe County, Nevada, has been 
examined and found suitable for classification for lease/conveyance to 
the Washoe County Parks Department, under the provisions of the 
Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et 
seq.):

T. 20 N., R. 19 E., MDM,
Section 4, S\1/2\SW\1/4\.

    Comprising 80.00 acres, more or less.

    The Washoe County Parks Department proposes to use the land for a 
park. The land is not needed for federal purposes. Lease/conveyance is 
consistent with current Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land use 
planning and would be in the public interest. Issuance of a 5-year 
lease with a purchase option is proposed. The lease/patent, when 
issued, will be subject to the provisions of the R&PP Act and to all 
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 and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (26 Stat. 391; 
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.
    The lease/patent, when issued, will also be subject to:
    Those rights for overhead telephone line purposes granted to Nevada 
Bell, its successors or assigns, by right-of-way Nev-051849 pursuant to 
the Act of March 4, 1911 (36 Stat. 1253; 43 U.S.C. 961).
    Those rights for underground telephone cable purposes granted to 
Nevada Bell, its successors or assigns, by right-of-way N-21232 
pursuant to the Act of October 21, 1976 (90 Stat. 2776; 43 U.S.C. 
1761).
    Those rights for electric power line purposes granted to Sierra 
Pacific Power Company, its successors or assigns by right-of-way N-
73803 pursuant to the Act of October 21 1976 (90 Stat. 2776; 43 U.S.C. 
1761).
    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 R&PP Act, and leasing under the mineral leasing 
laws. For a period of 45 days after publication of this notice, 
interested parties may submit comments regarding the proposed lease/
conveyance or classification to the Assistant Manager, Non-Renewable 
Resources, Bureau of Land Management, Carson City Field Office, 5665 
Morgan Mill Road, Carson City, NV 89701.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for a 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.
    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 any other factor not directly related to 
the suitability of the land for a park.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director. In the 
absence of any adverse comments, the classification will become 
effective 60 days from the date of publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register. The land will not be offered for lease/conveyance 
until after the classification becomes final.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments, including names and street 
addresses of respondents will be available for public review at the 
Carson City Field Office during regular business hours. Individual 
respondents may request confidentiality. If you wish to withhold your 
name or address from public review or from disclosure under the Freedom 
of Information Act, you must state this prominently at the beginning of 
your comments. Such requests will be honored to the extent allowed by 
law. All submissions from organizations or business, and from 
individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of 
organizations or businesses, will be made available for public 
inspection in their entirety.
