    The area described contains 15.0 acres, more or less, in Clark

    The proposed Park and Ride facility would include parking, 
approximately 6 bus bays, a 1,800-square foot transit terminal

Federal purpose. The lease and/or subsequent conveyance of the public 
land is consistent with the BLM Las Vegas Resource Management Plan

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 lease and/or subsequent conveyance, if issued, would be subject 
to 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:

    Interested parties may submit written comments regarding the 
suitability of the land for a Park and Ride 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, and 
whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures in rendering 
a 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. 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 March 24, 2014. The lands will not be available for lease/
conveyance until after decision becomes effective.
