## Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 20 N., R. 20 E.

                        Sec. 5, S                        1/2                        SW                        1/4                        .                    

The area described contains 80 acres more or less in Washoe County.

The land is not required for any Federal purpose. The proposed lease/conveyance is consistent with the BLM Carson City Field Office Consolidated Resource Management Plan dated May 2001, and is in the public interest. NEPA compliance documentation is being prepared under #DOI-BLM-NV-C020-2017-0016-EA.

                    The lease/conveyance, if issued, would be subject to the provisions of the R&PP Act and applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior, including, but not limited to, 43 CFR parts 2740-2743 and 2912, and would be subject to the following terms, conditions, and reservations:                          ( print page 47765)    

1. The reservation to the United States of a right-of-way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by the authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945);

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; and subject to valid existing rights;

3. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United States from claims arising out of the lessees/patentee's use, occupancy, or occupations on the leased/patented lands; and

4. Additional terms and conditions that the authorized officer deems appropriate.

                    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 United States general mining laws, except for conveyance under the R&PP Act, leasing under the mineral leasing laws and disposals under the mineral material disposal laws.                

Interested persons may submit comments involving the suitability of the land for development of a school. 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 whether the use is consistent with state and Federal programs.

Interested persons may submit comments, including notification of any encumbrances or other claims relating to the land, regarding the specific use proposed in the application and plan of development, whether the BLM followed appropriate administrative procedures in reaching a decision to lease/convey under the R&PP Act, or any other factors not directly related to the suitability of the land for the middle school.

                    Documents related to this action are on file at the BLM Sierra Front Field Office at the address in the                     **ADDRESSES**                     section and may be reviewed by the public at their request.                

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 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, the BLM cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. Only written comments submitted by postal service or overnight mail to the Field Manager, BLM Sierra Front 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, this realty action will become effective December 12, 2017. The land would not be offered for conveyance until after the classification becomes effective.
