SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described land in Clark 
County, Nevada, has been examined and found suitable for lease and 
subsequent conveyance under the provisions of the R&PP Act, as amended 
(43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.). The parcel of land is located on the east side 
of Pecos Road approximately one-eighth mile north of the Pecos Road and 
Centennial Parkway intersection and is legally described as:

Mount Diablo Meridian

T. 19 S., R. 62 E.,
    Sec. 19, portion of lot 19.

    This description will be replaced by another lot designation on 
final approval of the official plat of survey. The area described 
contains 5.09 acres, more or less, in Clark County.

    The City filed an R&PP application to develop the above described 
land as an offices and yard site. The proposed facilities consist of 
offices, a yard area, and related appurtenances for various City 
departments, such as police, parks and recreation, public works, and 
utilities. It will provide a critical hub for the City to provide 
essential maintenance, operations, and safety services to the public. 
Related facilities include a modular building, outdoor vehicle storage, 
public parking, utilities, landscaping, and an exterior chain link 
fence. Additional detailed information pertaining to this application, 
plan of development, and site plan is located in case file N-85687 at 
the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Las Vegas Field Office at the 
address above.
    The City is a political subdivision of the State of Nevada and is 
therefore a qualified applicant under the R&PP Act. The lease and 
subsequent conveyance is consistent with the BLM Las Vegas Resource 
Management Plan, dated October 5, 1998, and would be in the public 
interest.
    The lease and subsequent conveyance will be subject to the
