    The land is not required for any Federal purpose. The lease and/or 
subsequent conveyance is consistent with the BLM Las Vegas Resource

compliance with the regulations at 43 CFR 2741.4(b).
    The lease and/or subsequent conveyance of the public land would be

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 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 would 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, 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. Valid existing rights;
    4. Right-of-way N-06038 for a kV power distribution line, granted 
to Overton Power District, its successors or assigns, pursuant to the 
Act of October 21, 1976, (43 U.S.C. 1761);
    5. Right-of-way N-11028 for an underground water pipeline, granted

    7. Right-of-way N-92187 for drainage, fence, and wall improvements,

    8. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United 
States from claims arising out of the lessee's/patentee's use, 
occupancy, or occupations on the leased/patented lands.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the 
described land 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 park. 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. 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 April 21, 2014. The lands will not be available for lease 
and/or subsequent conveyance until after the decision becomes 
effective.
