40 NORTH, RANGE 16 WEST, GILA AND SALT RIVER MERIDIAN, MOHAVE 
COUNTY, ALSO BEING THE STATE LINE OF NEVADA AND ARIZONA FROM THE 
SOUTHWEST CORNER OF SAID SECTION 29 TO MILE MARKER 311, AS SHOWN ON 
THE UNRECORDED DRAWING TITLED BLM/AIRPORT LEASED LAND FOR THE CITY 
OF MESQUITE NEVADA.

    This notice informs the public that the City of Mesquite, in 
coordination with the FAA, submitted an application to both renew and 
amend its existing airport lease (AZA-24176) to comply with FAA 
requirements. The proposal is includes relinquishing 0.74 acres of the 
lease in an area northeast of the airport, referred to as the NAV AID 
site, which is no longer needed, and leasing an additional 0.76 acres 
to the north and south of the current lease area in order to move the 
existing perimeter fence outside of the obstacle-free zone. This would 
bring the total acreage of the leased area to approximately 6.005 
acres.
    Issuance of the lease is in accordance with the Arizona Strip 
Resource Management Plan (RMP), Decision No. MA-LR-06. Individual land 
use authorizations (rights-of-way, permits, leases, easements) will be 
evaluated on a case-by-case basis in accordance with other RMP 
provisions and compliance with the requirements of the National 
Environmental Policy Act.
    This notice segregates the above-described public lands from 
operation of the public land laws, including the mining laws. The 
segregative effect will end upon issuance of the lease or on May 29, 
2019, whichever occurs first.
    Application Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
regarding the specific use proposed in the application or any other 
factor not directly related to the suitability of the lands for an 
airport lease. The BLM Arizona State Director will review any adverse 
comments. In the absence of any adverse comments, the decision will 
become final. The lands will not be offered for lease until a 
determination of significance and Decision Record have been signed for 
the completed Environmental Assessment.
    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 available to the public at any time. While you 
can ask in your comment to withhold your personal identifying 
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be 
able to do so.

    Authority: 43 CFR 2911.
