suitable for classification for lease and/or subsequent conveyance 
under the provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act, 
as amended, approximately 40 acres of public land in the City of Las 
Vegas, Clark County, Nevada. The Clark County School District proposes 
to use the land for a bus transportation facility.

proposed classification of the land, or lease and/or subsequent 
conveyance of the land, until February 10, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The parcel of land is legally described as:

Mount Diablo Meridian

T. 19 S., R. 59 E.,
    Sec. 36, SE\1/4\;NW\1/4\.

    The area described contains 40 acres, more or less, in Clark 
County.
    In accordance with the R&PP Act, the Clark County School 
District has filed an application to develop the above described 
land for a northwest bus transportation facility. The bus 
transportation facility will include an administration building and 
a maintenance yard for parking, cleaning, and fueling school buses. 
The facilities are necessary to meet the public school 
transportation needs of the community in the northwest Las Vegas 
Valley. Additional detailed information pertaining to this 
application, plan of development, and site plan is in case file N-
88117, which is located in the BLM Las Vegas Field Office at the 
above address.
    The Clark County School District is a common applicant under the 
public purposes provision of the R&PP Act. The Clark County School 
District is a political subdivision of the State of Nevada and is 
therefore a qualified applicant under the R&PP Act.
    The lease and/or subsequent conveyance of the public land shall 
be subject to valid existing rights. Subject to limitations 
prescribed by law and regulations, prior to patent issuance, 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. The lease and/
or subsequent conveyance is/are consistent with the BLM Las Vegas 
Resource Management Plan dated October 5, 1998, and would be in the 
public interest. The Clark County School District has not applied 
for more than the 640-acre limitation for public purpose uses that 
are not for recreation purposes in a year and has submitted a 
statement in compliance with the regulations at 43 CFR 2741.4(b). 
The lease and/or subsequent conveyance, if and when issued, will be 
subject to valid entry rights and the provisions of the R&PP Act and 
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior, and will 
contain the following terms, conditions, and reservations to the 
United States:
    1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by 
the authority of the United States, Reservation in Patents Right-of-
Way for Ditches or Canals Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945);
    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;
    3. A right-of-way for roads, drainage, and municipal utilities 
granted to Clark County, its successors or assigns, by right-of-way 
N-61323, pursuant to the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 
October 21, 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1761;
    5. A right-of-way for roads, drainage, and municipal utilities 
granted to Clark County, its successors or assigns, by right-of-way 
N-60903, pursuant to the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 
October 21, 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1761; and
    6. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United 
States from claims arising out of the lessee's/patentee's use, 
occupancy, or operations on the leased/patented lands. It will also 
contain any other terms and conditions deemed necessary and 
appropriate by the Authorized Officer.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, 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 and/or subsequent 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 northwest public school bus 
transportation facility. 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 also 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/or convey under the 
R&PP Act, or any other factor not directly related to the 
suitability of the land for R&PP use.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the BLM Nevada State 
Director, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. In 
the absence of any adverse comments, this realty action will become 
the final determination of the Department of the Interior.
    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 to the 
Field Manager, BLM Las Vegas Field Office, 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 
decision will become effective on February 25, 2011. The lands will 
not be available for lease and/or subsequent conveyance until after 
the decision becomes effective.
