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 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. 63 E.
    Sec. 16, SW\1/4\.

    The area described contains 160 acres, more or less, in Clark 
County.

    In accordance with the R&PP Act, the City of Henderson filed an 
application for the above-described 160 acres of public land to be 
developed for recreational, civic, and municipal facilities. 
Recreational facilities will include a community park, programmable 
sports fields, an aquatics center, tennis courts, interpretive areas, 
and biking, running and hiking trails. The trail systems to be 
developed will connect to the city-wide trail system and ultimately, to 
the Clark County trail system. The plan also includes a multi-purpose 
senior center and municipal facilities. Additional detailed information 
pertaining to this application, plan of development, and site plans is 
in case file N-82826 located at the BLM Las Vegas Field Office, 4701 N. 
Torrey Pines Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada.
    The land is not needed for any Federal purpose. 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/
conveyance, 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 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/conveyance will be subject to all valid existing rights 
documented on the official public land records at the time of lease/
patent issuance.
    On August 24, 2007, the land described 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 disposal under the mineral 
material disposal laws.

    Interested parties may submit comments involving the suitability of 
the land for recreational, civic, and municipal 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.
    Interested parties may submit comments regarding the specific 
use(s) proposed in the application and plan of development, whether the 
BLM followed proper administrative procedures in reaching the decision 
to lease/convey under the R&PP Act, or any other factor not directly 
related to the suitability of the land for R&PP use.
    Facsimiles, telephone calls, and electronic mail are unacceptable 
means of notification. Comments, including names and addresses of 
respondents, will be available for public review. Before including your 
address, telephone number, email address, or other personal identifying 
information in your comment, be advised 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.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the BLM Nevada State 
Director. In the absence of any adverse comments, the classification of 
the land described in this notice will become effective October 23, 
2007. The lands will not be offered for lease/conveyance until after 
the classification becomes effective.
