Notice of Realty Action: Proposed Non-Competitive Commercial 
Lease, Arizona

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of realty action; request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes to issue a non-
competitive commercial lease across 17.39 acres of public land in 
accordance with Section 302 of the Federal Land Policy and Management 
Act (FLPMA) and applicable BLM leasing regulations. The Arizona State 
Parks Board (ASPB) proposes to lease the land for continued long term 
use of an existing marina, which is located along Lake Havasu, in 
Mohave County, AZ. The lease, if issued, would require the ASPB to pay 
fair market value rent as established by a federally approved 
appraisal.

DATES: Submit written comments regarding this proposed non-competitive 
commercial lease on or before September 3, 2024.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Stacey Burke, Realty Specialist, 
at the BLM Arizona State Office, 1 North Central Avenue, Suite 800, 
Phoenix, Arizona 85004. Comments may also be emailed to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stacey Burke, Realty Specialist, 
telephone: (602) 417-9225, email: [email protected]; or you may contact 
the BLM State Office at the above listed address. Details of the 
proposed action may be attained at the BLM Arizona State Office, at the 
address above in the ADDRESSES section. Individuals in the United 
States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a speech 
disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraile) to access 
telecommunications relay services. Individuals outside the United 
States should use the relay services offered within their country to 
make international calls to the point-of-contact in the United States. 
You will receive a reply during normal business hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ASPB is currently managing the subject 
property, known as the Havasu Riviera Marina, under a short-term 
temporary permit. Currently, development of the marina includes 
concession facilities, fuel stations, and a grocery store. The ASPB 
proposes to further develop the marina with the intent to conduct long-
term commercial activities, necessitating a transition from a temporary 
permit to a non-competitive commercial lease. A long-term commercial 
lease will allow this popular public amenity to continue operations.
    An environmental assessment has been completed for the subject 
property. The BLM, Colorado River District Office, examined the parcel 
and determined it is appropriate for leasing under FLPMA and BLM 
regulations at 43 CFR part 2920. Commercial leasing for developed and 
fee-based recreation use is consistent with the Lake Havasu Field 
Office Resource Management Plan (2007).
    The parcel is located along Lake Havasu, in Mohave County, AZ, 
south of Lake Havasu City and State Highway 95 and is legally described 
as:

Gila and Salt River Meridian, Arizona

T. 13 N., R. 20 W.,
    Sec. 26, NE\1/4\NE\1/4\, excepting all land below 450 feet mean 
sea level, according to an exhibit prepared by ARQ Engineering LLC 
and signed by R. Larry Morse, RLS 16851, dated August 16, 2016. The 
parcel contains 17.39 acres according to an exhibit prepared by ARQ 
Engineering LLC and signed by R. Larry Morse, RLS 16851, dated 
August 16, 2016.

    In addition to publishing this notice in the Federal Register, the 
BLM will mail copies to interested parties on record with BLM and will 
publish this notice in a newspaper of local circulation once a week for 
3 consecutive weeks.
    Interested persons may submit comments regarding the specific use 
proposed and whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures 
in this action, or any other factor not directly related to the 
suitability of the land. Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the 
authorized officer who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty 
action.
    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 may 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.
