SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Socorro Consolidated School District has 
filed an application to develop the following described land as an 
elementary school with related facilities adjacent to the existing San 
Antonio Elementary School. The parcel of public land is legally 
described as:

New Mexico Principal Meridian, New Mexico

T. 4 S., R. 1 E.,
    Section 31: SE\1/4\SE\1/4\, and E\1/2\SW\1/4\SE\1/4\.

    The area described contains approximately 60 acres, in Socorro 
County. Facilities of the school include classrooms, gymnasiums, 
parking lots, outdoor classrooms, fitness track, trails, etc. 
Enrollment is expected to be about 100 students. The construction of 
the new facilities would replace the original elementary school 
built in 1928. A fitness track and a portion of the current 
elementary school outbuilding were constructed on public land and 
are unauthorized. Issuance of the lease and/or subsequent conveyance 
would resolve this unauthorized use. Additional detailed information 
pertaining to this application, plan of development, and site plan 
is in case file NMNM-131595, which are located in the BLM Socorro 
Field Office at the above address. Environmental documents 
associated with the proposed action are available for review at the 
BLM Socorro Field Office, and on the web at: http://www.blm.gov/nm/st/en/fo/Socorro_Field_Office/socorro_nepa.html. The land is not 
required for any Federal purpose. The lease and subsequent 
conveyance are consistent with the BLM Socorro Resource Management 
Plan, approved August 2010, and would be in the public interest. The 
Socorro Consolidated School District is a political subdivision of 
the State of New Mexico, a qualified applicant under the R&PP Act, 
has not applied for more than the 640-acre limitation for public 
purpose uses in a year, and has submitted a statement in compliance 
with the regulations at 43 CFR 2741.4(b). The lease and subsequent 
conveyance of the public land shall be subject to valid existing 
rights. Subject to limitations prescribed by law and regulations, 
prior to patent issuance, a holder of any right-of-way within the 
lease area may be given the opportunity to amend the right-of-way 
for conversion to a new term, including perpetuity, if applicable. 
The lease and subsequent conveyance, if and when issued, will be 
subject to provisions of the R&PP Act and applicable regulations of 
the Secretary of the Interior, and will contain the following terms, 
conditions, and 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 from 
the same under applicable law and such regulations as the Secretary 
of the Interior may prescribe;
    3. All valid existing rights;
    4. Powerline right-of-way NMNM 0467996 issued to the Socorro 
Electric Cooperative, its successors or assigns, pursuant to the Act 
of October 21, 1976 as amended (43 U.S.C. 1701);
    5. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United 
States from claims arising out of the leasee/patentee use, 
occupancy, or operation of the property. 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/or subsequent conveyance under the R&PP Act 
and leasing under the mineral leasing laws. Interested parties may 
submit written comments on the suitability of the land for a public 
school. 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 lease and/or 
convey under the R&PP Act. Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the 
BLM New Mexico 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, 2016. 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 Field Manager, BLM Socorro Field Office, will be 
considered properly filed.
