    In accordance with the R&PP Act, the Calvary Chapel Green Valley 
Church filed an application for the above-described 20 acres of public 
land to be developed as a church (multipurpose building), school, day 
care center and related facilities. The multipurpose building will 
include a worship center, offices, classrooms, nursery, kitchen, 
restrooms, utility/storage rooms, and a lobby. The related facilities 
include sidewalks, landscaped areas, paved parking areas, 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-80468 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 Calvary Chapel Green Valley Church is an 
Internal Revenue Service registered non-profit organization and is, 
therefore, a qualified applicant under the R&PP Act.
    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/
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 October 4, 2007, 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.
    Interested parties may submit comments involving the suitability of 
the land for a church, school, day care center 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.
    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 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.
    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. Only written comments submitted by postal service or 
overnight mail to the Field Manager, BLM Las Vegas Field Office, will 
be considered properly filed. Electronic mail, facsimile or telephone 
comments will not be considered properly filed.
    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 December 3, 2007. The 
lands will not be available for lease/conveyance until after the 
classification becomes effective.

    Authority: 43 CFR part 2740.
