SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Clark County School District proposes to use

programs involving public resources other than recreation. Clark County
School District has submitted a statement in compliance with the
regulations at 43 CFR 2741.4(b), describing a definitely proposed
project for the use of these 30 acres. The lands for lease or
conveyance under the R&PP Act are legally described as:
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

Sec. 34, W\1/2\NE\1/4\SE\1/4\NE\1/4\, NW\1/4\SE\1/4\NE\1/4\,
SW\1/4\SE\1/4\NE\1/4\, and W\1/2\SE\1/4\SE\1/4\NE\1/4\.
The area described contains 30 acres.
The Clark County School District filed an application to develop a
school consisting of five school buildings, sixth to eighth grade
classrooms, and sixth, seventh, and eighth grade learning centers.
There will be fine arts and technology centers, as well as a student's
presentation center, areas for a botanical learning center, basketball
courts, ball fields, bike racks, shaded rest areas, turf play area,
playgrounds, and a tetherball court area. Additionally, there would be
parking for the public, school staff, and school buses to pick up and
drop off students, as well as a fire department access road.
Lease or conveyance of these public lands are consistent with the
BLM Las Vegas Resource Management Plan dated October 5, 1998. The lands
are not needed for any other Federal purposes.
All interested parties will receive a copy of this Notice once it
is published in the Federal Register. Additionally, a copy of the
Notice will be published in the 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, the lands
will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under the
public land laws, including locations under the mining laws, except for
lease or conveyance under the R&PP Act and leasing under the mineral
leasing laws.
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 (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 leased or 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. Lease or conveyance of the parcel is subject to 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.
Classification Comments: Interested persons may submit comments
involving the suitability of the land for development of a middle
school. 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, and if the use is consistent
with State and Federal programs.
Application Comments: Interested persons may submit comments
regarding the specific use 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 middle school.
Any adverse comments 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 the
absence of any adverse comments, the classification will become
effective on September 24, 2019. The lands will not be offered for
conveyance until after the classification becomes effective.
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or
other personal identifying information in any comment, 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
