SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The parcel is located south of LeBaron 
Avenue and west of Lindell Road in southwest Las Vegas and is legally 
described as:

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 22 S., R. 60 E.,
    Sec. 25, NE\1/4\SE\1/4\NW\1/4\.

    The area described contains 10 acres, according to the official 
plats of surveys on file with the BLM.
    In accordance with the R&PP Act, Clark County Real Property 
Management has filed an application to develop the above-described land 
as a public park consisting of premanufactured restrooms with water 
bottle fillers, eight shade structures, a sport/exercise equipment 
area, a splash pad, multiage playground areas, tennis/pickle ball/sand 
volleyball/basketball courts, a trash enclosure, trees, planters, 
typical desert landscaping, paved walking trails, concrete sidewalks, 
street and park lighting, a paved parking lot, and utilities for direct 
support of the proposed park. The parcel is surrounded by private land 
and a fully developed elementary school, which is a previously approved 
R&PP project. Additional detailed information pertaining to this 
publication, the plan of development, and site plan is available in 
case file N-98610, which is available for review at the BLM Las Vegas 
Field Office at the above address.
    Clark County Real Property Management is a political subdivision of 
the State of Nevada, and is therefore a qualified applicant under the 
R&PP Act.
    Subject to limitations prescribed by law and regulation, prior to 
patent issuance, the holder of any right-of-way grant within the lease 
area may be given the opportunity to amend the right-of-way grant for 
conversion to a new term, including perpetuity, if applicable.
    The land identified is not needed for any Federal purpose. The 
lease and/or conveyance is consistent with the BLM Las Vegas Resource 
Management Plan dated October 5, 1998, and would be in the public 
interest. Clark County Real Property Management has not applied for 
more than the 640-acre limitation for public purpose uses in a year and 
has submitted a statement that its application is for a definite 
project as required by regulations at 43 CFR 2741.4(b).
    The lease and conveyance, when issued, will be subject to the 
provisions of the R&PP Act and applicable regulations of the Secretary 
of the Interior, and will contain the following reservations to the 
United States:
    1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945);
    2. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove such deposits for the 
same under applicable law and such regulations as the Secretary of the 
Interior may prescribe; and
    3. Any lease and conveyance will also be subject to valid existing 
rights, will 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 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 
for classification of the land as a public park project in Clark 
County. 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 
written comments regarding the specific use proposed in the 
application, plan of development, and site plan, 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 personal identifying information in your comment, you should 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 Assistant 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 April 11, 2022. The lands will not be available for lease 
and conveyance until after the decision becomes effective.
    Authority: 43 CFR 2741.5.

Field Manager, Las Vegas Field Office.
