SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has examined and found 
suitable for classification for conveyance to Lake Havasu City (LHC) 
under the provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act, 
as amended, section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act, and Executive Order 
6910, approximately 1,042.11 acres of public land in Mohave County, 
Arizona. The land is subject to a lease to LHC under the R&PP Act, and 
is used for a city park also commonly known as Special Activities 
Recreation Area (SARA) Park. This action will classify the lands for 
conveyance so they can be patented and title given to LHC.

the classification will take effect on October 15, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described public lands in

    Section 29, E\1/2\NE\1/4\, NE\1/4\SE\1/4\.

    The area described contains approximately 1,042.11 acres in Mohave 
County, Arizona. The lands are not needed for any other Federal 
purposes. Conveying title to the affected public land is consistent 
with current BLM land use planning and would be in the public interest.
    The patent, when issued, would be subject to the following terms, 
conditions, and reservations:

[[Page 40333]]

    1. Provision of the R&PP Act and to all applicable regulations of 
the Secretary of the Interior.
    2. A right-of-way for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States.
    3. 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 regulation as the Secretary of the 
Interior may prescribe.
    4. All valid exiting rights.
    5. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United 
States from claims arising out of the lessee's use, occupancy, or 
operation of the property. It will also contain any other terms and 
conditions deemed necessary and appropriate by the Authorized Officer.
    The land was previously segregated and continues to be segregated 
from all forms of mineral entry and appropriation under the public land 
laws except for leasing or conveyance under the R&PP Act.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments on 
the suitability of the lands for a developed recreation area. Comments 
on the classification are restricted to whether the lands are 
physically suited for the proposal, whether the use will maximize the 
future use or uses of the lands, whether the use is consistent with 
local planning and zoning, or if the use is consistent with Federal and 
State programs.
    Application Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
regarding the specific uses proposed in the application and plans of 
development, whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures 
in reaching the decision, or any other factor not directly related to 
the suitability of the lands for recreation purposes. Any adverse 
comments will be reviewed by the BLM Arizona State Director.
    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.
