SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with Section 7 of the Taylor 
Grazing Act, (43 U.S.C. 315f) and Executive Order No. 6910, 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.):

Mount Diablo Meridian

T. 23 S., R. 61 E.,
    Sec. 15, NE\1/4\NW\1/4\NW\1/4\, W\1/2\NW\1/4\NW\1/4\NE\1/4\NW\1/
4\, and W\1/2\SW\1/4\NW\1/4\NE\1/4\NW\1/4\.

    The area described contains 12.5 acres, more or less, in Clark 
County.

    The parcel of land is located in the southern part of the Las Vegas 
Valley, approximately 660 feet east of Bermuda Road and directly south 
of Larson Lane, Henderson, Nevada. In accordance with the R&PP Act, the 
Grace Lutheran Church has filed an application to develop the above 
described land as a worship center with related facilities. Related 
facilities include a preschool and kindergarten through eighth grade 
school, multi-purpose building, multi-purpose outdoor play area, 
gymnasium, administration area, parking area, and landscaping. 
Additional detailed information pertaining to this application, plan of 
development, and site plan is in case file N-82055, which is located in 
the BLM Las Vegas Field Office at the above address.
    Churches are common applicants under the public purpose provision 
of the R&PP Act. The Grace Lutheran Church is a non-profit 
organization, registered with the Internal Revenue Service and is a 
qualified applicant under the R&PP Act.
    The lease and conveyance of the public land will be subject to 
valid existing rights. Subject to limitations prescribed by law and 
regulation and prior to patent issuance, the holder of any right-of-way 
grant 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 lease and conveyance is consistent with the BLM Las 
Vegas Resource Management Plan dated October 5, 1998, and would be in 
the public interest. The Grace Lutheran Church has not applied for more 
than the 640-acre limitation for public purpose uses in a year and has 
submitted a statement in compliance with the regulations at 43 CFR 
2741.4(b).
    The lease and conveyance, if 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 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.
    The lease and conveyance will also be subject to:
    1. Valid existing rights;
    2. Right-of-way N-77148 for road purposes granted to the City of 
Henderson, its successors or assigns, pursuant to the Act of October 
21, 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1761);
    3. Right-of-way Nev-056780 for access purposes granted to the State 
of Nevada Department of Transportation, its successors or assigns, 
pursuant to the Act of November 9, 1921 (042 Stat 0216).
    4. An indemnification clause protecting the United States from 
claims arising out of lessee/patentee's use, occupancy, or operations 
on the land.
    On May 12, 2010 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 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 written comments on the suitability 
of the land for a worship center, school, 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, and whether 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 the decision to lease and convey under the R&PP Act, or any 
other factor not directly related to the suitability of the land for 
R&PP use. Written comments submitted to the mail, fax, or e-mail 
addresses listed will be considered properly filed. 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 on July 12, 2010. The 
land will not be available for lease and/or conveyance until after the 
classification becomes effective.
    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.

    Authority:  43 CFR 2741.5.
