    Containing 342.79 acres, more or less.

    The land is not needed for Federal purposes. Lease or conveyance is 
consistent with the Carson City Consolidated Resource Management Plan 
(2001) and would be in the public interest. The land was previously 
withdrawn from surface entry and mining, but not from sales, exchanges 
or recreation and public purposes, by Public Land Order No. 7491. The 
Carson City Field Office has received from Washoe County an R&PP Act 
application, together with the requisite filing fee and supporting 
documents required by 43 CFR 2741.5. The application states that the 
County plans to construct and operate a regional park on the land. No 
other use will be made of the land.
    The lease/patent, when issued will be subject to the following 
terms, conditions and reservations:
    1. Provisions of the R&PP Act and to all applicable regulations of 
the Secretary of the Interior.
    2. 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).
    3. All mineral deposits in the land leased or patented are reserved 
to the United States, and to the United States, or persons authorized 
by it, are reserved the right to prospect for, mine and remove such 
deposits from the same under applicable law and regulations to be 
established by the Secretary of the Interior, including all necessary 
access and exit rights.
    The lease/patent, when issued, will also be subject to:
    1. All valid existing rights.
    2. Those rights for access road and water pipeline purposes granted 
to Sun Valley General Improvement District, its successors or assigns, 
by right-of-way N-10910 pursuant to the Act of October 21, 1976 (90 
Stat. 2776; 43 U.S.C. 1761).
    3. Those rights for buried telephone purposes granted to Nevada 
Bell, its successors or assigns, by right-of-way N-35561 pursuant to 
the Act of October 21, 1976 (90 Stat. 2776; 43 U.S.C. 1761).
    4. Those rights for access road and water pipeline purposes granted 
to Sun Valley General Improvement District, its

successors or assigns, by right-of-way N-38419 pursuant to the Act of 
October 21, 1976 (90 Stat. 2776; 43 U.S.C. 1761).
    Detailed information concerning the proposed lease/conveyance, 
including conditions, planning and environmental documents, is 
available for inspection at the BLM Carson City Field Office at the 
address stated in this notice.
    Comments on the classification are restricted to four subjects:
    (1) Whether the land is physically suited for the proposal;
    (2) Whether the use will maximize the future uses of the land;
    (3) Whether the use is consistent with local planning and zoning; 
and
    (4) If the use is consistent with State and Federal programs.
    Application Comments: You 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 the requested R&PP use.
    Before including your address, phone number, e-mail 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, we cannot guarantee that we will be 
able to do so. Facsimiles, telephone calls, and electronic mails are 
unacceptable means of notification. Any adverse comments will be 
reviewed by the State Director who may sustain, vacate, or modify this 
realty action. In the absence of any adverse comments, the 
classification of the land described in this notice will become 
effective October 16, 2007.
    The lands will not be offered for lease/conveyance until after the 
classification becomes effective.
