Notice of Realty Action: Change of Use for Recreation and Public 
Purposes Act Lease N-63293-01, Clark County, NV

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Las Vegas Field Office, 
has determined that land located in Clark County, Nevada is suitable 
for a change of use to the City of Las Vegas under the authority of the 
Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act of 1926, as amended. The City 
of Las Vegas has requested that the BLM change the current use from a 
metropolitan police substation and fire station to a public park and 
fire station.

DATES: Comments regarding the proposed change of use must be submitted 
to the BLM on or before January 7, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments concerning the proposed change of use 
to the BLM, Las Vegas Assistant Field Manager, Division of Lands, 4701 
N. Torrey Pines Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89130.

device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay 
Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 to contact the above individual during

week, to leave a message or question with the above individual. You

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The City of Las Vegas submitted the 
following described parcel for change of use under the authority of the 
R&PP Act on August 16, 2007. The parcel is located south of Grand Teton 
Drive and west of Hualapai Way in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

Sec. 13, T. 19 S., R. 59 E.,
    NW\1/4\NE\1/4\NE\1/4\NE\1/4\, S\1/2\NE\1/4\NE\1/4\NE\1/4\.

    The area described contains 7.5 acres, in Clark County, Nevada.

    According to the City of Las Vegas, since the lease issuance, a new 
location was secured for the metropolitan police substation, but the 
area is lacking in recreational facilities since it is surrounded by 
two, large master planned communities that have yet to be fully 
developed. The fire station is still needed in order to fill response 
time gaps for the existing and proposed developments.
    The new public park use will consist of picnic shelters, children's 
splash pad play area, children's shaded play area with equipment, 
walking path/trail, desert landscaping, turf open play area, basketball 
courts, restrooms, and a parking lot. The fire station plan of 
development remains the same with meeting rooms, offices, kitchen 
facilities, landscaping, and parking, as well as fire personnel living 
quarters and fire engine vehicle bays.
    The proposed change of use is in conformance with the BLM Las Vegas 
Resource Management Plan and the Record of Decision approved on October 
5, 1998. Authority for the transfer and change of use is in conformance 
with Section 202 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 
October 21, 1976, (FLPMA) as amended, and Section 203, when the 
Secretary determines that the sale of the parcels meets the following 
disposal criteria: Such tract is difficult and uneconomic to manage 
because of its location or other characteristics--such as the subject's 
history of use, current level of development, and is not suitable for 
management by another Federal department or agency. The parcel of land 
is surrounded by a Master Planned community with residences and local 
businesses. The lands proposed for the change of use are not needed for 
Federal purposes and the United States has no present interest in the 
property.
    Should it be approved, the change of use for the 7.5 acres will be 
made subject to the provisions of FLPMA, the applicable regulations of 
the Secretary of the Interior, and will contain the following terms, 
conditions and reservations:
    1. A condition that the lease will be subject to all valid existing 
rights of record.
    2. A condition that the conveyance will be subject to all 
reservations, conditions, and restrictions in authorized lease N-63293-
01, including, but not limited to, all mineral deposits in the land so 
leased, and to it, or persons authorized by it, the right to prospect 
for, mine and remove such deposits from the same under applicable law 
and regulations to be established by the Secretary of the Interior.
    3. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the U.S. from 
claims arising out of the lessee's use, occupancy, or operations on the 
patented lands.
    4. Additional terms and conditions that the authorized officer 
deems appropriate.
    Detailed information concerning the proposed partial transfer of 
patent/change of use is available for review at the location identified 
in ADDRESSES above.
    Public comments regarding the proposed change of use for the 
subject 7.5 acres may be submitted in writing to the BLM Las Vegas 
Field office (see ADDRESSES above) on or before January

[[Page 72987]]

7, 2016. Any comments regarding the proposed partial change of use 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 whole or in part. In the absence of timely 
filed objections, this realty action will become final determination of 
the Department of the Interior.
    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.
