Notice of Realty Action: Lease/Conveyance for Recreation and 
Public Purposes

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, DOI.

ACTION: Recreation and Public Purpose Lease/Conveyance.

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

SUMMARY: The following described public land in Las Vegas, Clark 
County, Nevada has been examined and found suitable for lease/
conveyance for recreational or public purposes under the provisions of 
the Recreation and Public Purposes Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et 
seq.). The City of Las Vegas proposes to use the land for a Public Park 
to include soccer fields, playgrounds, administration building, parking 
area, boundary fence, picnic areas and restrooms.

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 20S. R. 60E.
    Sec. 22, SE\1/4\NW\1/4\

    Containing 40 acres, more or less.

The land is not required for any federal purpose. Although the land is 
currently withdrawn (60 FR 25149) under Public Land Order 7142 for a 
Bureau of Land Management administrative office site, it has been 
determined that the lands are no longer needed for that purpose. 
Concurrence has been received to allow for a lease/patent for the 
Public Park while the withdrawal is in process of revocation. The 
lease/conveyance is consistent with current Bureau planning for this 
area and would be in the public interest. The lease/patent, when 
issued, will be subject to the provisions of the Recreation and Public 
Purposes Act and 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 or 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 will be subject to:

    An easement 50 feet in width along the South boundary, 40 feet in 
width along the East boundary, 50 feet in width along the West 
boundary, 30 feet in width along the North boundary in favor of the 
City of Las Vegas for roads, public utilities and flood control 
purposes. This lease/conveyance will also be subject to the Nevada 
Power Co., right-of-way case file NEV-061618. Detailed information 
concerning this action is available for review at the office of the 
Bureau of Land Management, Las Vegas Field Office, 4765 W. Vegas Drive, 
Las Vegas, Nevada.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the above 
described land will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation 
under the public land laws, including the general mining laws, except 
for lease/conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act, 
leasing under the mineral leasing laws and disposals under the mineral 
material disposal laws. For a period of 45 days from the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, interested parties 
may submit comments regarding the proposed lease/conveyance for 
classification of the lands to the Field Manager, Las Vegas Field 
Office, 4765 Vegas Dr., Las Vegas, Nevada 89108.

Classification Comments

    Interested parties may submit comments involving the suitability of 
the land for a Public Park. Comments on the classification are

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
