SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The parcel is located on West Pyle Avenue 
and Polaris Avenue in southwest Las Vegas and is legally described as:

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 22 S., R. 61 E.,
    Sec. 29, SE\1/4\SW\1/4\NW\1/4\.

    The area described contains 10 acres in Clark County, Nevada.

    Clark County has filed an R&PP application to develop the above-
described land as a community park. The project will consist of picnic 
shelters, a children's play area, restrooms, pedestrian walkways, 
parking, and open-space play areas. Additional detailed information 
pertaining to this publication, plan of development, and site plan is 
located in case file N-93733, which is available for review at the BLM 
Las Vegas Field Office at the above address.
    The land identified is not needed for any Federal purposes. The 
lease or conveyance of the lands for recreational or public purposes 
use is consistent with the BLM Las Vegas Resource Management Plan dated 
October 5, 1998, and would be in the public interest. Clark County has 
not applied for more than the 6,400-acre limitation for recreation uses 
in a year, nor more than 640 acres for each of the programs involving 
public resources other than recreation.
    All interested parties will receive a copy of this Notice once it 
is published in the Federal Register. A copy of the Notice with 
information about this proposed realty action will be published in a 
newspaper of local circulation once a week for three consecutive weeks. 
The regulations at 43 CFR Subpart 2741 addressing requirements and 
procedures for conveyances under the R&PP Act do not require a public 
meeting.
    The lease or conveyance of the land, when issued, will be subject 
to the following terms, conditions, and reservations:
    1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945);
    2. Provisions of the R&PP Act and to all applicable regulations of 
the Secretary of the Interior;
    3. All mineral deposits in the land so patented, together with the 
right to prospect for, mine, and remove such deposits from the same 
under applicable law and regulations as established by the Secretary of 
the Interior may prescribe;
    4. Lease or conveyance of the parcel is subject to valid existing 
rights.
    Any lease and conveyance will also contain any terms or conditions 
required by law (including, but not limited to, any terms or conditions 
required by 43 CFR 2741.4), and will contain 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 U.S. 
Mining Laws, except for lease and 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 development of a public park in the City of Las Vegas. 
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 comments regarding the specific 
use proposed in the application and plan of development and management 
and whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures in 
reaching the decision to lease and convey under the R&PP Act.
    Before including your address, phone number, email address, or 
other personally identifiable information in any comment, be aware that 
your entire comment including your personally identifiable information 
may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask the BLM 
in your comment to withhold your personally identifiable 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 as protests 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 November 30, 2018. The lands will not be available for 
lease and conveyance until after the decision becomes effective.
