and W\1/2\SW\1/4\SE\1/4\NW\1/4\NW\1/4\.

    The area described contains 20 acres, more or less, in Clark 
County.

    In accordance with the R&PP Act, the State of Nevada has filed an 
application in which it proposes to develop the above-described land as 
a DMV facility that will consist of a full service DMV building with 
related facilities. The related facilities include a drive test parking 
lot, motorcycle test course, Commercial Drivers' License test course, 
employee and visitor parking lots, landscaping, lighting, walkways, 
drainage, irrigation, restrooms, concessions, utilities, and ancillary 
improvements. Additional detailed information pertaining to this 
application, plan of development, and site plan is located in case file 
N-92525, which is available for review at the BLM Las Vegas Field 
Office at the above address.
    The land identified is not needed for any Federal purpose. The 
lease and conveyance is consistent with the BLM Las Vegas Resource 
Management Plan dated October 5, 1998, and would be in the public 
interest. The State of Nevada, a qualified applicant under the R&PP 
Act, has not applied for more than the 640 acre limitation consistent 
with the regulations at 43 CFR 2741.7(a)(2), and has submitted a 
statement in compliance with the regulations at 43 CFR 2741.4(b). 
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 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); 
and
    2. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove such deposits from the 
same under applicable law and such regulations as the Secretary of the 
Interior may prescribe.
    3. Any lease and conveyance will also be subject to valid existing 
rights.
    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 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 
of the land for a DMV Facility. 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 and plan of development, and 
whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures in reaching 
the decision to 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.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed 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 
July 1, 2016. The lands will not be available for lease and subsequent 
conveyance until after the decision becomes effective.

    Authority: 43 CFR 2741.5(h).

Acting Assistant Field Manager, Las Vegas Field Office, Division of
