SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM has examined and found suitable to 
be classified for lease and subsequent conveyance under the provisions 
of the R&PP Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.), the following 
public land described below:

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada,

T. 19 S., R. 59 E.,
    Sec. 1, E\1/2\NW\1/4\SW\1/4\SW\1/4\, N\1/2\NW\1/4\NE\1/4\SW\1/

    The area described contains 7.5 acres, more or less, in Clark 
County.

    In accordance with the R&PP Act, the City of Las Vegas filed an 
R&PP application to develop the above described land as a public park 
in this rapidly growing area. Additional detailed information 
pertaining to this application, plan of development, and site plans are 
in case file N-86601, which is located in the BLM Las Vegas Field 
Office at the address above.
    The City of Las Vegas is a political subdivision of the State of 
Nevada and is therefore a qualified applicant under the R&PP Act.

    Subject to limitations prescribed by law and regulation, prior to 
conveyance, a holder of any right-of-way within the lease area may be 
given the opportunity to amend the right-of-way for conversion to a new 
term, including perpetuity, if applicable.
    The land is not required for any Federal purpose. Lease or 
conveyance is consistent with the BLM Las Vegas Resource Management 
Plan, dated October 5, 1998, and would be in the public interest. The 
City of Las Vegas has not applied for more than the 6,400-acre 
limitation for recreation and public purpose uses in a year and has 
submitted a statement in compliance with the regulations at 43 CFR 
2741.4(b).
    Any lease or conveyance, if and 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 under 
the authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 
945); and
    2. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, 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.
    Any lease or conveyance will be subject to valid existing rights, 
will contain any terms or conditions required by law and regulation, 
including, but not limited to, any terms or conditions required by 43 
CFR 2741.9, and will contain an appropriate indemnification clause 
protecting the United States from claims arising out of the lessee's or 
patentee's use, occupancy, or operations on the leased/patented lands. 
It will also contain any other terms and conditions deemed necessary or 
appropriate by the authorized officer.
    On publication of this notice in the Federal Register, 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 or 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 on the suitability of the 
land for a public park. 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 written comments regarding the 
specific use proposed in the application and plan of development, 
whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures in reaching 
its decision to lease or convey the property 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.
    Any adverse comments on the proposed classification, lease or 
conveyance will be reviewed by the BLM Nevada State Director, who may 
sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action and classification and 
issue a final determination. In the absence of any adverse comments, 
the decision will become effective 60 days after the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The lands will not 
be available for lease or conveyance until after the decision becomes 
effective.
