SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The lease parcel is located along portions

4\SE\1/4\.

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

    The Clark County School District filed an application to develop an 
elementary school with approximately 46 classrooms. Kindergarten 
students and classrooms will be placed in a separate portion of the 
school with its own fenced entrance and a separate primary playground. 
The 1st through 5th grade classrooms will include but not be limited to 
science rooms, music and art rooms, special education classrooms, and 
cafeteria. The school will also have turf and asphalt play areas, 
intermediate playground, basketball courts, bike racks, shaded rest 
areas, tetherball courts, softball field, and a botanical learning 
area. Additionally, there will be parking for the public, school staff, 
and school buses to pick up and drop students off, as well as an 
emergency access road. Offsite improvements will be developed as 
required by governing agencies.
    The lands are not required for any Federal purposes, and are mostly 
surrounded by private lands. The lands do not provide access routes to 
Federal or state lands that contain outdoor recreational opportunities. 
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.
    The Clark County School District 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 realty action will publish in the newspaper of 
local circulation once a week for three consecutive weeks. The 
regulations at 43 CFR 2741 addressing requirements and procedures for 
conveyances under the R&PPA do not require a public meeting.
    Upon publication of the Notice in the Federal Register, the lands 
will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under public 
lands laws, except for the lease or conveyance under the R&PP Act and 
leasing under the mineral leasing laws. The segregation effect shall 
terminate upon issuance of the lease, upon final rejection of the 
application, or 18 months from the date of this notice, whichever 
occurs first.
    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 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. 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 lessees/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.
    7. A right-of-way grant (N-96250) to Clark County Public Works for 
a roadway and drainage facilities.
    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.
    Interested persons may submit comments involving the suitability of 
the land for development of an elementary school and facilities. 
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 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 or convey under the R&PPA.
    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 
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 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 decision will become 
effective on January 21, 2020. The lands will not be available for 
lease and conveyance until after the decision becomes effective.
