SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The parcel is located south of Mountains

described as:

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 22 S., R. 60 E.,
    Sec. 29, SW\1/4\NW\1/4\SE\1/4\, W\1/2\SE\1/4\NW\1/4\SE\1/4\.

    The area described contains 15 acres in Clark County, Nevada.

    The Clark County School District has filed an R&PP application to 
develop the above-described land as an elementary school. The project 
will consist of five school buildings, parking for school staff, public 
parking, busing routes with student pick-up and drop-off points, 
kindergarten classrooms with a fenced-off play area, areas for 
basketball courts, ball fields, bike racks, shaded rest areas, a 
botanical learning area, a turf play area, playgrounds, a tetherball 
court area, and utilities. Additional detailed information pertaining 
to this publication, plan of development, and site plan is available 
for review at the BLM Las Vegas Field Office at the above address.
    The Clark County School District is a political subdivision of the 
State of Nevada, and is, therefore, a qualified applicant under the 
R&PP Act.
    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 land identified is not needed for any Federal purpose. The 
lease and/or conveyance is consistent with the BLM Las Vegas Resource 
Management Plan dated October 5, 1998, and would be in the public 
interest. The Clark County School District 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 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);
    2. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove such deposits for the 
same under applicable law and such regulations as the Secretary of the 
Interior may prescribe; and
    3. The parcel is subject to valid existing rights.
    Any lease and conveyance will also contain any terms or conditions 
required by law (including, but not limited to, any terms or conditions 
required by 43 CFR 2741.4), and will contain an appropriate 
indemnification clause protecting the United States from claims arising 
out of the lessee's/patentee's use, occupancy, or operations on the 
leased/patented lands. 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 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 
for classification of the land as a school project in the City of Las 
Vegas. 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 convey 
under the R&PP Act.
    Before including your address, phone number, emails 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 Las Vegas Field Office, will be considered properly filed. Any 
adverse comments will be reviewed as protests, by the BLM Nevada State 
Director, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action.

[[Page 36617]]

    In the absence of any adverse comments, the decision will become 
effective on September 13, 2018. The lands will not be available for 
lease and conveyance until after the decision becomes effective.

    Authority: 43 CFR 2741.5.

Vanessa L. Hice,
Assistant Field Manager, Division of Lands, Las Vegas Field Office.
