Classification of Public Lands in Clark County, NV

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has examined and found 
suitable for classification for lease and subsequent conveyance under 
the provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act, as 
amended, approximately 10 acres of public land in Clark County, Nevada. 
The Crossroads Community Church proposes to use the land for a church 
and related facilities.

DATES: Interested parties may submit comments regarding the proposed 
lease/conveyance or classification of the lands until July 27, 2006.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to the Field Manager, BLM Las Vegas 
Field Office, 4701 N. Torrey Pines Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89130.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sharon DiPinto, Assistant Field 
Manager, Bureau of Land Management, Las Vegas Field Office, at (702) 
515-5062.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described public land in Clark 
County, Nevada, has been examined and found suitable for classification 
for lease and subsequent conveyance under the provisions of the 
Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et 
seq.), and is hereby classified accordingly:

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 22 S., R. 61 E., Sec. 33: SE\1/4\NE\1/4\SE\1/4\.
    Containing 10 acres, more or less.

    In accordance with the R&PP Act, the Crossroads Community Church 
filed an application for the above-described 10 acres of public land to 
be developed as a church and related facilities. These related 
facilities include a multipurpose building (a worship center, offices, 
classrooms, nursery, kitchen, restrooms, utility/storage rooms, and a 
lobby), sidewalks, landscaped areas, paved parking areas, daycare 
center, youth athletic fields, and off site improvements. Additional 
detailed information pertaining to this application, plan of 
development, and site plans is in case file N-80579 located in the BLM 
Las Vegas Field Office at the above address.
    Churches are a common applicant under the ``public purposes'' 
provision of the R&PP Act. The Crossroads Community Church is an 
Internal Revenue Service registered non-profit organization and is, 
therefore, a qualified applicant under the R&PP Act.
    The lease/conveyance is consistent with the Las Vegas Resource 
Management Plan dated October 5, 1998, and would be in the public 
interest. The lease/patent, when issued, will be subject to the 
provisions of the R&PP 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); 
and
    2. All minerals 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. The lease/
patent will also be subject to:
    1. An easement in favor of Clark County for roads, public 
utilities, and flood control purposes; and
    2. All valid existing rights documented on the official public land 
records at the time of lease/patent issuance.
    On June 12, 2006, the land described above 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 R&PP 
Act, leasing under the mineral leasing laws, and disposals under the 
mineral material disposal laws.

Comments

    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for a church and related 
facilities. 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 its classification decision, or any other factor not 
directly related to the suitability of the land for R&PP use.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director. In the 
absence of any adverse comments, the classification of the land 
described in this notice will become effective on August 11, 2006. The 
lands will not be available for lease/conveyance until after the 
classification becomes effective.

    Authority: 43 CFR part 2740.
