SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A notice was previously published in the 
Federal Register on October 16, 2007, (72 FR 58682) segregating 
approximately 41.48 acres of public land for a park site and police 
substation under the R&PP Act. The lease was issued to the city on 
April 8, 2008. The city wants to change the use of the northwest 10 
acres of the site to a safety, training and rescue skills area called 
Northern Safety Training and Rescue Skills (STARS) Village. The 
remaining 31.48 acres of land is still being used as a park and police 
substation. The parcel of land is legally described as:

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 19 S., R. 61 E., sec. 24, Lot 12 (within).

    The change of use area described contains 10 acres, more or less. 
This description will be refined upon final approval of the official 
plat of survey.
    The city filed an R&PP application to change the use and to develop 
the above described land as a Northern STARS Village with related 
facilities. Related facilities include: Amphitheater, picnic area, 
educational fire fighters park, education classrooms, education 
auditorium, administration building, garage, swimming pool and parking 
area. The mission of the Northern STARS Village is to provide state-of-
the-art, hands-on, and life-safety programs such as bicycle safety, 
emergency services, fire safety and prevention, injury prevention for 
seniors, internet safety, motor vehicle safety, pedestrian safety, 
rules of the road, and water safety. Additional detailed information 
pertaining to this application, plan of development, and site plan is 
in case file N-80113, which is located in the BLM Las Vegas Field 
Office at the above address.
    The city is a political subdivision of the State of Nevada and is 
therefore a qualified applicant under the R&PP Act.
    The change of use of the public land shall be subject to valid 
existing rights as previously published. Subject to limitations 
prescribed by law and regulation, 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.
    Interested parties may submit written comments regarding the 
specific use proposed in the application and plan of development or any 
other factor not directly related to the suitability of the land for a 
Northern STARS Village. 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 and will become effective on July 18, 2011. The lands will not 
be available as a Northern STARS Village until after the decision 
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. Only written comments submitted to the Field Manager, 
BLM Las Vegas Field Office, or by e-mail at the addresses above will be 
considered properly filed. Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the 
BLM Nevada State Director.

    Authority:  43 CFR part 2741.

Acting Assistant Field Manager, Division of Lands.
