Notice of Realty Action: Recreation and Public Purposes Act
Classification: Nevada
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of realty action.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has examined certain
public lands in Lyon County, and has found them suitable for
classification for lease and conveyance to the Nevada Department of
Transportation (NDOT) under the provisions of the Recreation & Public
Purpose (R&PP) Act, as amended; Sec. 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act; and
Executive Order No. 6910. The NDOT proposes to use the land as a
highway maintenance station.
DATES: Submit written comments regarding this proposed classification
on or before August 5, 2019. Comments may be mailed or hand delivered
to the BLM office address below. Comments may be emailed or faxed to
the contacts below. The BLM will not consider comments received via
telephone calls.

City District Office, 5665 Morgan Mill Road, Carson City, Nevada 89701,
or submit via email at [email protected], or fax to 775-885-
6147. The BLM has made available detailed information including, but

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Terah Malsam, Realty Specialist, at
775-885-6153. Persons who use a telecommunications device for the deaf
may call the Federal Relay Service (FRS) at 1-800-877-8339 to leave a

business hours.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The lands consist of approximately 20 acres,
must conform to the official plat of survey, and are legally described
below.
The NDOT has not applied for more than the 6,400-acre limitation
for recreation uses in a year (or 640 acres if a nonprofit corporation
or association), nor more than 640 acres for each of the programs
involving public resources other than recreation.
The NDOT has submitted a statement in compliance with the
regulations at 43 CFR 2741.4(b). The NDOT proposes to use the land as a
highway maintenance station. The maintenance station will support
constructing, reconstructing, improving, operating, managing, and
maintaining highways and ancillary facilities. NDOT may use the
maintenance station for staging, as needed, for highway construction
projects in the vicinity.
The lands examined and identified as suitable for lease and
conveyance under the R&PP Act are legally described as:
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 18 N., R. 24 E.,
Sec. 24, NE\1/4\NW\1/4\SW\1/4\ and NW\1/4\NE\1/4\SW\1/4\.
The areas described aggregate 20 acres.
The lands are not needed for any Federal purposes. The BLM Carson
City Field Office Consolidated Resource Management Plan, dated May
2001, addresses lease and conveyance of the lands for recreational or
public purposes, and lease and conveyance of the subject lands would be
in the national interest.
The BLM will provide a copy of this notice to all interested
parties once the BLM publishes the Notice in the Federal Register. The
BLM will publish a copy of the Federal Register Notice with information
about this proposed realty action in a newspaper of local circulation
once a week for three consecutive weeks. The regulations at 43 CFR
Subpart 2741 addressing requirements and procedures for conveyances
under the R&PP Act do not require a public meeting.
Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, this
notice will segregate the lands from all other forms of appropriation
under the public land laws, including locations under the mining laws,
except for lease and conveyance under the R&PP Act and leasing under
the mineral leasing laws.
The lease and conveyance of the land will be subject to the
following terms, conditions, and reservations:
1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by the
authority of the United States Act of August 30, 1890 (26 Stat. 391; 43
U.S.C. 945).
2. Provisions of the R&PP Act and to all applicable regulations of
the Secretary of the Interior.
3. All mineral deposits in the land so patented, and the right to
prospect for, mine, and remove such deposits from the same under
applicable law and regulations as established, by the Secretary of the
Interior, are reserved to the United States, together with all
necessary access and exit rights.
4. Valid existing rights.
5. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United
States from claims arising out of the lessee's/patentee's use,
occupancy, or occupations on the leased/patented lands.
6. Any other reservations that the authorized officer determines
appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of Federal
lands and interests therein.
The NDOT has requested that the BLM allow the NDOT to relinquish
the southern 20 acres of a BLM mineral material permit (NVCC 021630)
that is currently sited over the proposed lease and conveyance lands.
Classification Comments: Interested persons may submit comments
involving the suitability of the land for development of a highway
maintenance station. 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.
Application Comments: Interested persons may submit comments
regarding the specific use proposed in the application and plan of
development and management, 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 a highway
maintenance station.
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or
other personally identifiable information in any comment, be aware that
your entire comment including your personally identifiable information
may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in
your comment to withhold your personally identifiable information from
public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the BLM State Director or
other authorized official of the Department of the Interior, who may
sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. In the absence of any
adverse comments, the classification will become effective on August
19, 2019. The BLM will not offer the lands for lease or conveyance
until after the classification becomes effective.
Authority: 43 CFR 2741.5.

Acting Field Manager, Sierra Front Field Office.
