    A sales matrix is available on the BLM Web site at: http://www.blm.gov/snplma. The sales matrix provides information specific to 
each sale parcel such as legal description, physical location, 
encumbrances, acreage, and FMV. The FMV for each parcel is available in 
the sales matrix as soon as approved by the BLM and no later than 30 
days prior to the sale.
    This competitive sale is in conformance with the BLM Las Vegas 
Resource Management Plan and decision LD-1, approved by Record of 
Decision on October 5, 1998, and complies with Section 203 of FLPMA. 
The Las Vegas Valley Disposal Boundary Environmental Impact Statement 
analyzed the sale parcels and the suitability for sale of these parcels 
was approved by Record of Decision on December 23, 2004. A parcel-
specific Determination of National Environmental Policy Act Adequacy 
document numbered DOI-BLM-NV-S010-2015-0052-DNA was prepared in 
connection with this Notice of Realty Action.
    Submit comments on this sale Notice to the address in the ADDRESSES 
section. 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 any 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. The BLM will also publish this Notice once a week for 
three consecutive weeks in the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
    Sale procedures: Registration for oral bidding will begin at 8 a.m. 
Pacific Time and will end at 10 a.m. Pacific Time at the City of North 
Las Vegas, 2250 Las Vegas Boulevard North, Council Chambers, North Las 
Vegas, Nevada 89030, on the day of the sale. There will be no prior 
registration before the sale date. To participate in the competitive 
sale, all registered bidders must submit a bid guarantee deposit in the 
amount of $10,000 by certified check, postal money order, bank draft, 
or cashier's check made payable to the Department of the Interior-
Bureau of Land Management on the day of the sale or submit the bid 
guarantee deposit along with the sealed bids. The public sale auction 
will be through sealed and oral bids. Sealed bids will be opened and 
recorded on the day of the sale to determine the high bids among the 
qualified bids received. Sealed bids above the FMV will set the 
starting point for oral bidding on a parcel. Parcels that receive no 
qualified sealed bids will begin oral bidding at the established FMV. 
Bidders who are participating and attending the oral auction on the 
date of the sale are not

[[Page 37298]]

required to submit a sealed bid, but may choose to do so.
    Sealed-bid envelopes must be clearly marked on the lower front left 
corner with the parcel number and name of the sale, for example: ``N-
XXXXX, 33-parcel SNPLMA Fall Sale 2015.'' Sealed bids must include an 
amount not less than 20 percent of the total amount bid and the $10,000 
bid guarantee by certified check, postal money order, bank draft, or 
cashier's check made payable to the ``Department of the Interior-Bureau 
of Land Management.'' The bid guarantee and bid deposit may be combined 
into one form of deposit; the bidder must specify the amounts of the 
bid deposit and the bid guarantee. The BLM will not accept personal or 
company checks. The sealed-bid envelope must contain the 20 percent bid 
deposit, bid guarantee, and a completed and signed ``Certificate of 
Eligibility'' form stating the name, mailing address, and telephone 
number of the entity or person submitting the bid. Certificate of 
Eligibility and registration forms are available at the BLM LVFO at the 
address listed in the ADDRESSES section and on the BLM Web site at: 
http://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/snplma/Land_Auctions.html. Pursuant to 43 
CFR 2711.3-1(c), if two or more sealed-bid envelopes containing valid 
bids of the same amount are received, oral bidding will start at the 
sealed-bid amount. If there are no oral bids on the parcel, the 
authorized officer will determine the winning bidder. Bids for less 
than the federally approved FMV will not be qualified. The highest 
qualifying bid for any parcel will be declared the high bid. The 
apparent high bidder must submit a deposit of not less than 20 percent 
of the successful bid by 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the day of the sale 
in the form of a certified check, postal money order, bank draft, or 
cashier's check made payable in U.S. dollars to the ``Department of the 
Interior--Bureau of Land Management.'' Funds must be delivered no later 
than 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the day of the sale to the BLM 
Collection Officers at the City of North Las Vegas, 2250 Las Vegas 
Boulevard North, Council Chambers, North Las Vegas, Nevada 89030. The 
BLM-LVFO will not accept any funds. The BLM will send the successful 
bidder(s) a high-bidder letter with detailed information for full 
payment.
    All funds submitted with unsuccessful bids will be returned to the 
bidders or their authorized representative upon presentation of 
acceptable photo identification at the BLM-LVFO or by certified mail. 
If the apparent high bidder so chooses, the bid guarantee may be 
applied towards the required deposit. Failure to submit the deposit 
following the close of the sale under 43 CFR 2711.3-1(d) will result in 
forfeiture of the bid guarantee. If the successful bidder offers to 
purchase more than one parcel and fails to submit the 20 percent bid 
deposit resulting in default on any single parcel following the sale, 
the BLM will retain the $10,000.00 bid guarantee, and may cancel the 
sale of all the parcels to that bidder. If a high bidder is unable to 
consummate the transaction for any reason, the BLM may offer the parcel 
to the second highest bidder for the amount of their bid. If there are 
no acceptable bids, a parcel may remain available for sale at a future 
date in accordance with competitive sale procedures without further 
legal notice.
    Federal law requires that bidders must be: (1) A citizen of the 
United States 18 years of age or older; (2) A corporation subject to 
the laws of any State or of the United States; (3) A State, State 
instrumentality, or political subdivision authorized to hold property; 
or (4) An entity legally capable of conveying and holding lands or 
interests therein under the laws of the State of Nevada.
    Evidence of United States citizenship is a birth certificate, 
passport, or naturalization papers. Failure to submit the above 
requested documents to the BLM within 30 days from receipt of the high-
bidder letter will result in cancellation of the sale and forfeiture of 
the bid deposit. The successful bidder is allowed 180 days from the 
date of the sale to submit the remainder of the full purchase price.
    Publication of this Notice in the Federal Register segregates the 
subject lands from all forms of appropriation under the public land 
laws. Any subsequent applications for such appropriation will not be 
accepted, will not be considered as filed, and will be returned to the 
applicant if the Notice segregates from the use applied for in the 
application. All pending applications will not be processed nor 
authorized until after completion of the sale. As specified in SNPLMA 
as amended, Public Law 105-263 section 4(c), lands identified within 
the Las Vegas Valley Disposal Boundary are withdrawn from location and 
entry, under the mining laws and from operation under the mineral and 
geothermal leasing laws until such time the Secretary terminates the 
withdrawal or the lands are patented.
    Terms and Conditions: All minerals for the sale parcels will be 
reserved to the United States. The patents will contain a mineral 
reservation to the United States for all minerals. The BLM refers 
interested parties to the regulation at 43 CFR 3601.71(b), which 
provides that the owner of the surface estate of lands with reserved 
Federal minerals may ``use a minimal amount of mineral materials for 
personal use'' within the boundaries of the surface estate without a 
sales contract or permit. The regulation provides that all other use, 
absent statutory or other express authority, requires a sales contract 
or permit. We refer interested parties to the explanation of this 
regulatory language in the preamble to the final rule published in the 
Federal Register in 2001, which stated that minimal use ``would not 
include large-scale use of mineral materials, even within the 
boundaries of the surface estate.'' 66 FR 58894 (Nov. 23, 2001). 
Further explanation see BLM Instruction Memorandum No. 2014-085 (April 
23, 2014), available on BLM's Web site at http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/info/regulations/Instruction_Memos_and_Bulletins/national_instruction/2014/im_2014-085__unauthorized.html.
    The parcels are subject to limitations by law and regulation, and 
certain encumbrances in favor of third parties. Prior to patent 
issuance, a holder of any right-of-way (ROW) within the sale parcels 
will have the opportunity to amend the ROW for conversion to a new 
term, including perpetuity, if applicable, or conversion to an 
easement. The BLM will notify valid existing ROW holders of record of 
their ability to convert their compliant rights-of-way to perpetual 
rights-of-way or easement. In accordance with Federal regulations at 43 
CFR 2807.15, once notified, each valid holder may apply for the 
conversion of their current authorization.
    The following numbered terms and conditions will appear on the 
conveyance documents for the sale parcels:
    1. All minerals deposits in the lands so patented, and to it, or 
persons authorized by it, the right to prospect for, mine, and remove 
such deposits from the same under applicable law and regulations to be 
established by the Secretary of the Interior are reserved to the United 
States, together with all necessary access and exit rights;
    2. A right-of-way is reserved for ditches and canals constructed by 
authority of the United States under the Act of August 30, 1890 (43 
U.S.C. 945);
    3. The parcels are subject to valid existing rights;
    4. The parcels are subject to reservations for road, public 
utilities and flood control purposes, both existing and proposed, in 
accordance

[[Page 37299]]

with the local governing entities' transportation plans; and
    5. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United 
States from claims arising out of the lessees/patentee's use, 
occupancy, or occupations on the leased/patented lands.
    Pursuant to the requirements established by Section 120(h) of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 
42 U.S.C. 9620(h) (CERCLA), as amended, notice is hereby given that the 
lands have been examined and no evidence was found to indicate that any 
hazardous substances have been stored for one year or more, nor had any 
hazardous substances been disposed of or released on the subject 
property.
    No warranty of any kind, express or implied, is given by the United 
States as to the title, whether or to what extent the land may be 
developed, its physical condition, future uses, or any other 
circumstance or condition. The conveyance of a parcel will not be on a 
contingency basis. However, to the extent required by law, the parcel 
is subject to the requirements of section 120(h) of the CERCLA.
    Unless the BLM authorized officer approved other satisfactory 
arrangements in advance, conveyance of title will be through escrow. 
Designation of the escrow agent will be through mutual agreement 
between the BLM and the prospective patentee, and costs of escrow will 
be borne by the prospective patentee.
    The BLM-LVFO must receive the request for escrow instructions prior 
to 30 days before the prospective patentee has scheduled a closing 
date. There are no exceptions.
    All name changes and supporting documentation must be received at 
the BLM-LVFO 30 days from the date on the high-bidder letter by 4:30 
p.m. Pacific Time. There are no exceptions. To submit a name change, 
the apparent high bidder must submit the name change in writing on the 
Certificate of Eligibility form to the BLM-LVFO.
    The remainder of the full bid price for the parcel must be received 
no later than 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time, within 180 days following the day 
of the sale. Payment must be submitted in the form of a certified 
check, postal money order, bank draft, cashier's check, or made 
available by electronic fund transfer made payable in U.S. dollars to 
the ``Department of the Interior--Bureau of Land Management'' to the 
BLM-LVFO. The BLM will not accept personal or company checks.
    Arrangements for electronic fund transfer to the BLM for payment of 
the balance due must be made a minimum of two weeks prior to the 
payment date. Failure to pay the full bid price prior to the expiration 
of the 180th day will disqualify the high bidder and cause the entire 
20 percent bid deposit to be forfeited to the BLM. Forfeiture of the 20 
percent bid deposit is in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.3-1(d). No 
exceptions will be made. The BLM cannot accept the remainder of the bid 
price after the 180th day of the sale date.
    The BLM will not sign any documents related to 1031 Exchange 
transactions. The timing for completion of such an exchange is the 
bidder's responsibility. The BLM cannot be a party to any 1031 
Exchange.
    In accordance with 43 CFR 2711.3-1(f), within 30 days the BLM may 
accept or reject any or all offers to purchase, or withdraw any parcel 
of land or interest therein from sale if the BLM authorized officer 
determines consummation of the sale would be inconsistent with any law, 
or for other reasons as may be provided by applicable law or 
regulations. No contractual or other rights against the United States 
may accrue until the BLM officially accepts the offer to purchase and 
the full bid price is paid.
    The parcel may be subject to land use applications received prior 
to publication of this Notice if processing the application would have 
no adverse effect on the marketability of title, or the FMV of the 
parcel. Information concerning the sale, encumbrances of record, 
appraisals, reservations, procedures and conditions, CERCLA, and other 
environmental documents that may appear in the BLM public files for the 
proposed sale parcels are available for review during business hours, 
7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time, Monday through Friday, at the BLM-
LVFO, except during Federal holidays.
    In order to determine the FMV through appraisal, certain 
extraordinary assumptions and hypothetical conditions may have been 
made concerning the attributes and limitations of the lands and 
potential effects of local regulations and policies on potential future 
land uses. Through publication of this Notice, the BLM advises that 
these assumptions may not be endorsed or approved by units of local 
government.
    It is the buyer's responsibility to be aware of all applicable 
Federal, State, and local government laws, regulations and policies 
that may affect the subject lands, including any required dedication of 
lands for public uses. It is also the buyer's responsibility to be 
aware of existing or prospective uses of nearby properties. When 
conveyed out of Federal ownership, the lands will be subject to any 
applicable laws, regulations, and policies of the applicable local 
government for proposed future uses. It is the responsibility of the 
purchaser to be aware through due diligence of those laws, regulations, 
and policies, and to seek any required local approvals for future uses. 
Buyers should make themselves aware of any Federal or State law or 
regulation that may affect the future use of the property. Any land 
lacking access from a public road or highway will be conveyed as such, 
and future access acquisition will be the responsibility of the buyer.
    Any comments regarding the proposed sale will be reviewed by the 
BLM Nevada State Director or other authorized official of the 
Department of the Interior, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this 
realty action in response to such comments. In the absence of any 
comments, this realty action will become the final determination of the 
Department of the Interior.

    Authority:  43 CFR 2711.1-2.
