SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The parcel is located on the northwest
corner of Log Cabin Way and El Capitan Way in the northwest portion of
Las Vegas, bounded on the west by the future extension of Skye Canyon
Park Drive (Fort Apache Road alignment) and the north by future
Moccasin Road in northwest Las Vegas, Nevada. The land is legally
described as:
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 19 S., R. 60 E.,
Sec. 5, lot 5 and lots 8 thru 15, excepting those portions
within the utility corridor under Public Law 113-291--Dec. 19, 2014
128STAT. 3863 (4) (A), lots 5, and 9 thru 11.
The area described contains 121.95 acres, according to the
official plats of the surveys on file with the BLM.
Proposed development of the subject land includes the addition of
sports fields, trails, public restrooms, associated parking, utilities,
and other facilities. Additional information pertaining to this project
is contained in case file N-99637, which may be reviewed at the BLM Las
Vegas Field Office at the address above in the ADDRESSES section.
The lease and subsequent conveyance are consistent with the BLM Las
Vegas Resource Management Plan, dated October 5, 1998. The proposed
land use is in conformance with the 2004 Las Vegas Valley Disposal
Boundary Final Environmental Impact Statement and Record of Decision as
well as the 2017 Environmental Assessment (EA) and Decision Record for
In-Valley Multi-Action Analysis. The proposed R&PP lease and subsequent
conveyance was analyzed in the Las Vegas In-Valley Area Multi-Action
Analysis EA (DOI-BLM-NV-S010-2016-0054-EA), which addressed all
identified resource concerns. In addition, a determination of National
Environmental Policy Act adequacy (DNA) (DOI-BLM-NV-S010-2023-0032-DNA)
was completed for the lease.
The lease and subsequent conveyance, when issued, will be subject
to the provisions of the R&PP Act, the applicable regulations of the
Secretary of the Interior, and 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);
and
2. All minerals, 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. Terms, conditions, or reservations required by law, including
but not limited to those required by 43 CFR 2741.4, and as deemed
necessary or appropriate by the authorized officer; and
4. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United
States from claims arising out of the lessee's or patentee's use,
occupancy, or operations on the leased or patented lands; and
5. Subject to valid existing rights.
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.
This notice opens the opportunity for the public to protest and/or
appeal the classification and proposed realty action decision prior to
the BLM issuing a lease and subsequent conveyance of the subject public
lands, as proposed.
Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit written
comments on the suitability of the land as a park 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, and whether the use is
consistent with State and Federal programs.
Proposed Realty Action Comments: Interested parties may also submit
written comments regarding the specific use proposed in the application
and plan 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 land for a public park.
Submit comments to the address in the ADDRESSES section by the date
in the DATES section of this notice. Before including your address,
phone number, email, or other personal identifying information in your
comment, be advised that the entire comment, including 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
[[Page 10112]]
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 May 1, 2026.
(Authority: 43 CFR 2741.5)
