Classification: Nevada

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of realty action.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has examined certain 
public lands in Lyon County, and has found them suitable for 
classification for lease and conveyance to the Nevada Department of 
Transportation (NDOT) under the provisions of the Recreation & Public 
Purpose (R&PP) Act, as amended; Sec. 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act; and 
Executive Order No. 6910. The NDOT proposes to use the land as a 
highway maintenance station.

DATES: Submit written comments regarding this proposed classification 
on or before August 5, 2019. Comments may be mailed or hand delivered 
to the BLM office address below. Comments may be emailed or faxed to 
the contacts below. The BLM will not consider comments received via 
telephone calls.

City District Office, 5665 Morgan Mill Road, Carson City, Nevada 89701, 
or submit via email at [email protected], or fax to 775-885-

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Terah Malsam, Realty Specialist, at 
775-885-6153. Persons who use a telecommunications device for the deaf 
may call the Federal Relay Service (FRS) at 1-800-877-8339 to leave a 
message or question for the above individual. The FRS is available 24 
hours a day, 7 days a week. You will receive a reply during normal 
business hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The lands consist of approximately 20 acres, 
must conform to the official plat of survey, and are legally described 
below.
    The NDOT has not applied for more than the 6,400-acre limitation 
for recreation uses in a year (or 640 acres if a nonprofit corporation 
or association), nor more than 640 acres for each of the programs 
involving public resources other than recreation.
    The NDOT has submitted a statement in compliance with the 
regulations at 43 CFR 2741.4(b). The NDOT proposes to use the land as a 
highway maintenance station. The maintenance station will support 
constructing, reconstructing, improving, operating, managing, and 
maintaining highways and ancillary facilities. NDOT may use the 
maintenance station for staging, as needed, for highway construction 
projects in the vicinity.
    The lands examined and identified as suitable for lease and 
conveyance under the R&PP Act are legally described as:

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 18 N., R. 24 E.,
    Sec. 24, NE\1/4\NW\1/4\SW\1/4\ and NW\1/4\NE\1/4\SW\1/4\.

    The areas described aggregate 20 acres.

    The lands are not needed for any Federal purposes. The BLM Carson 
City Field Office Consolidated Resource Management Plan, dated May 
2001, addresses lease and conveyance of the lands for recreational or 
public purposes, and lease and conveyance of the subject lands would be 
in the national interest.
    The BLM will provide a copy of this notice to all interested 
parties once the BLM publishes the Notice in the Federal Register. The 
BLM will publish a copy of the Federal Register Notice with information 
about this proposed realty action 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.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, this 
notice will segregate the lands from all other forms of appropriation 
under the public land laws, including locations under the mining laws, 
except for lease and conveyance under the R&PP Act and leasing under 
the mineral leasing laws.
    The lease and conveyance of the land 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 (26 Stat. 391; 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, and 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, are reserved to the United States, together with all 
necessary access and exit rights.
    4. Valid existing rights.
    5. 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.
    6. Any other reservations that the authorized officer determines 
appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of Federal 
lands and interests therein.
    The NDOT has requested that the BLM allow the NDOT to relinquish 
the southern 20 acres of a BLM mineral material permit (NVCC 021630) 
that is currently sited over the proposed lease and conveyance lands.
    Classification Comments: Interested persons may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for development of a highway 
maintenance station. 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.
    Application Comments: Interested persons may submit comments 
regarding the specific use proposed in the application and plan of 
development and management, whether the BLM followed proper 
administrative procedures in reaching the decision, or any other factor 
not directly related to the suitability of the lands for a highway 
maintenance station.
    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 us in 
your comment to withhold your personally identifiable information from 
public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the BLM State Director or 
other authorized official of the Department of the Interior, who may 
sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. In the absence of any 
adverse comments, the classification will become effective on August 
19, 2019. The BLM will not offer the lands for lease or conveyance 
until after the classification becomes effective.

    Authority: 43 CFR 2741.5.
