SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The parcel is located north of Flamingo Road
and west of S Cimarron Road in Las Vegas and is legally described as:
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 21 S., R. 60 E.,
Sec. 16, NE\1/4\NE\1/4\SW\1/4\.
The area described contains approximately 10 acres, according to
the official plats of the surveys of said land on file with the BLM.
In accordance with the R&PP Act, Clark County Real Property
Management has filed an application to lease and purchase the above-
described land to develop as a park site that will consist of Little
League Baseball fields, a warmup area, restrooms, a maintenance yard,
turf areas, landscaping, irrigation, utilities, and off-site
improvements to integrate the new facilities into the existing Desert
Breeze Park that is adjacent to the proposed 10-acre project.
Additional detailed information pertaining to the BLM's proposed lease
and conveyance, the County's plan of development, and the site plan is
available in case file N-101539, which is available for review at the
BLM Las Vegas Field Office at the above address. Clark County Real
Property Management 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 from the BLM
within the lease area would 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 conveyance is consistent with the BLM Las Vegas Resource
Management Plan dated October 5, 1998, and would be in the public
interest. Clark County Real Property Management has not applied for
more than the 640-acre annual limitation for public purpose uses and
has submitted a statement that their application is for a definite
project as required by 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 any patent issued 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 for
the same under applicable law and such regulations as the Secretary
of the Interior may prescribe; and
Any lease and conveyance will also be subject to valid existing
rights, will 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.
Under the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act of 1998 (Pub.
L. 105-263) as amended, lands identified for disposal within the Las
Vegas Valley are already withdrawn from location and entry under the
U.S. mining laws and from operation of the mineral and geothermal
leasing laws. 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, except for lease and
conveyance under the R&PP Act.
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
[[Page 53518]]
lease and convey under the R&PP Act. 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.
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 Assistant Field
Manager, BLM Las Vegas Field Office, will be considered properly filed.
Any adverse comments on the classification will be reviewed as protests
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 October 10, 2023. The lands will not be available for
lease and conveyance until after the decision becomes effective.
Authority: 43 CFR 2741.5.
Bruce Sillitoe,
Field Manager, Las Vegas Field Office.
