    The Clark County School District is a political subdivision of the 
State of Nevada and is a qualified applicant under the R&PP Act.
    The lease and subsequent conveyance of the public land shall be 
subject to valid existing rights. Subject to limitations prescribed by

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 
subsequent conveyance is 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 in a year and has 
submitted a statement in compliance with the regulations at 43 CFR 
2741.4(b).
    The lease and 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. Right-of-way N-10714 for communication line purposes granted to 
Nevada Bell, its successors or assigns, pursuant to the Act of March 4, 
1911, (43 U.S.C. 961);
    5. Right-of-way N-06278 for transmission line purposes granted to 
Valley Electric, its successors or assigns, 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 high school in the Sandy Valley area. 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, and 
whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures in reaching 
the decision to lease and/or convey under the R&PP Act.
    Before including your address, phone number, email 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, who 
may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. In the absence of 
any adverse comments, the decision will become effective on September 
3, 2013. The lands will not be available for lease and subsequent 
conveyance until after the decision becomes effective.
