Croix and Cabo Rojo) from current and
future threats and/or limiting factors
through landowner agreements and
other conservation mechanisms.
2. Determine the distribution and
population status of Catesbaea
melanocarpa throughout its present and
historic range, including Barbuda,
Antigua, and Guadalupe.
3. Evaluate techniques and develop a
plant propagation program for
Catesbaea melanocarpa.
4. Enhance existing populations and
establish new self-sustaining
populations (number of which should
be determined by viability analysis)
within protected areas by introducing
additional individuals developed
through propagation. Introduction sites
may include, but are not limited to, the
´
´
Guanica Commonwealth Forest, Susua
Commonwealth Forest, Sandy Point
National Wildlife Refuge, and Cabo Rojo
National Wildlife Refuge.
5. Conduct additional scientific
research on Catesbaea melanocarpa.
6. Facilitate the recovery of Catesbaea
melanocarpa through public awareness
and education.
7. Provide technical assistance to
Barbuda, Antigua, and Guadalupe for
the development of conservation
measures for the species.
8. Refine recovery criteria.

Title IV of the Clark County
Conservation of Public Land and
Natural Resources Act of 2002 (116 Stat.
1994) (SNPLMA). The SNPLMA sale
will be subject to the applicable
provisions of Sections 203 and 209 of
the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA) (43
U.S.C. 1713 and 1719), and BLM land

BLM will take oral bids on these parcels
at not less than the appraised fair
market value of each parcel, at the

79529, N–79534 through N–79553, N–

For the other SNPLMA parcels, the

an application for conveyance of the
locatable mineral interests. In
conjunction with the final payment, the
applicant will be required to pay a
$50.00 non-refundable filing fee for
processing the conveyance of the
locatable mineral interests.
The mineral interests for the Laughlin

detailed in the original NORA for those
parcels at 70 FR 16301.

authorization will not adversely affect
the marketability or value of the parcel.
In order to determine the value,
through appraisal, of the parcels of land
proposed to be sold, certain
extraordinary assumptions may have
been made of the attributes and
limitations of the lands and potential
effects of local regulations and policies
on potential future land uses. Through
publication of this Notice, the Bureau of
Land Management gives notice that
these assumptions may not be endorsed
or approved by units of local
government. It is the buyer’s
responsibility to be aware of all
applicable Federal, State, and local
government laws, regulations and
policies that may affect the subject
lands, including any required
dedication of lands for public uses. It is
also the buyer’s responsibility to be
aware of existing or projected use of
nearby properties. When conveyed out
of Federal ownership, the lands will be
subject to any applicable laws,
regulations, and policies of the
applicable local government for
proposed future uses. It will be the
responsibility of the purchaser to be
aware of those laws regulations, and
policies, and to seek any required local
approvals pursuant to them. Buyers
should also make themselves aware of
any Federal or State law or regulations
that may impact the future use of the
property. Any land lacking access from
a public road or highway will be
conveyed as such, and future access
acquisition will be the responsibility of
the buyer.
Parcel N–75980. Potential bidders for
parcel N–75980 should be aware of the
content of a document entitled, ‘‘A
Conservation Agreement for the
Management of Special Resources on
the Bureau of Land Management Parcels
Nominated for Disposal by the City of
Las Vegas’’ entered into by BLM, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the
Nevada Division of Forestry and the
City of North Las Vegas (the
‘‘Conservation Agreement’’). Under the
Conservation Agreement, BLM retains
ownership of approximately 300 acres
partially surrounded by parcel N–75980
for protection and preservation of
certain special plant and paleontological
resources. BLM makes no warranty or
representation that this Conservation
Agreement is the full extent of Federal
or State requirements that may impact
parcel N–75980.

Notice of Realty Action: Competitive Sale of Public Lands in
Clark County, NV; Termination of Recreation and Public Purposes
Classification and Segregation; Withdrawal of the Formerly Classified
Lands by the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior.
ACTION: Notice of realty action.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes to sell by public
auction 86 parcels of Federal public land, aggregating approximately
3,197.00 acres, more or less, in the Las Vegas Valley, Nevada. The sale
will be under the authority of the Southern Nevada Public Land
Management Act of 1998 (112 Stat. 2343), as amended by Title IV of the
Clark County Conservation of Public Land and Natural Resources Act of
2002 (116 Stat. 1994) (SNPLMA). The SNPLMA sale will be subject to the
applicable provisions of Sections 203 and 209 of the Federal Land
Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA) (43 U.S.C. 1713 and 1719),
and BLM land sale and mineral conveyance regulations at 43 CFR parts
2710 and 2720. The sale will be conducted in Las Vegas, Nevada, on
November 16, 2005, using competitive bidding procedures under the
regulations, at not less than the
[[Page 48581]]
appraised fair market value (FMV) of each parcel.
BLM may also continue the auction of up to five additional parcels
near Laughlin, Nevada (hereinafter, ``the Laughlin parcels''), which
remain unsold from a BLM competitive oral auction held in Laughlin,
Nevada, on June 15, 2005. These five parcels aggregate approximately

Consisting of 86 parcels containing 3,197.00 acres, more or
less, including the North Las Vegas parcel.
A map and complete legal description of the North Las Vegas parcel
(N-75980) will be available at the BLM LVFO upon finalization and
recordation of the cadastral survey by the BLM prior to the auction
date.
In addition to the lands described herein, the Laughlin parcels,
and, possibly, other parcels that have been published in a previous
NORA, and that have been previously noticed for sale, but did not sell,
may be sold at this sale. The legal description of the Laughlin parcels
and the terms and conditions of sale can be reviewed at 70 FR 16301.
The following SNPLMA parcels will have all mineral interests
reserved to the United States; therefore, no $50 filing fee will be
required as no mineral interests will be conveyed: N-79498 through N-
79506, N-79511 through N-79529, N-79534 through N-79553, N-77348, N-
79579 and N-79580. A legal description of the parcels associated with
these BLM Serial Numbers is available at the BLM Las Vegas Field
Office, or online at https://propertydisposal.gsa.gov.
For the other SNPLMA parcels, the locatable mineral interests
therein will be sold simultaneously with the surface interests. Those
lands have no known locatable mineral value. An offer to purchase those
parcels will constitute an application for conveyance of the locatable
mineral interests. In conjunction with the final payment, the applicant
will be required to pay a $50.00 non-refundable filing fee for
processing the conveyance of the locatable mineral interests.
The mineral interests for the Laughlin parcels will be reserved or
sold as detailed in the original NORA for those parcels at 70 FR 16301.
Terms and Conditions of Sale
The terms and conditions applicable to the SNPLMA sale parcels are
as follows:
1. All discretionary leaseable and saleable mineral deposits on the

a parcel. Encumbrances of record, appearing in the BLM public files for
the parcels proposed for sale, are available for review during business
hours, 7:30 a.m. PST to 4:30 p.m. PST, Monday through Friday, at the

present, and future acts or omissions of the patentees or their
employees, agents, contractors, or lessees, or any third-party, arising
out of or in connection with the patentees' use, occupancy, or
operations on the patented real property. This indemnification and hold
harmless agreement includes, but is not limited to, acts and omissions
of the patentees and their employees, agents, contractors, or lessees,
or any third party, arising out of or in connection with the use and/or
occupancy of the patented real property which has already resulted or
does hereafter result in: (1) Violations of Federal, State, and local

substances or wastes; or (6) Natural resource damages as defined by
Federal and State law. This covenant shall be construed as running with
the parcels of land patented or otherwise conveyed by the United

[[Page 48583]]
be enforced by the United States in a court of competent jurisdiction.
7. Maps delineating the individual proposed sale parcels and
current appraisals for each parcel are available for public review at
the BLM LVFO.
8. (a) Parcel N-79580 will be put up for purchase and sale at the
oral auction. A sealed bid for this parcel will not be accepted. If
this parcel is not sold at the oral auction, it will not be offered
later on an online Internet auction.
8. (b) Sealed bids may be presented for all other parcels. Sealed
bids must be received at the BLM LVFO, no later than 4:30 p.m., PST,
November 9, 2005. Sealed bid envelopes must be marked on the lower

8. (c) Each sealed bid shall be accompanied by a deposit in the
form of a certified check, money order, bank draft, or cashier's check
made payable in U.S. dollars to the order of the Bureau of Land
Management, for not less than 10 percent or more than 30 percent of the
amount bid. The highest qualified sealed bid for each parcel will
become the starting bid at the oral auction. If no sealed bids are
received, oral bidding will begin at the FMV, as determined by the
authorized officer. All sealed bids will be opened and recorded at 12
noon PST on November 10, 2005 at the BLM office on 4701 N. Torrey Pines
Drive in Las Vegas. The high sealed bid amount will be posted on the
auction order list and will be the starting bid amount at the oral
auction.
9. All parcels will be offered for competitive sale by oral auction
beginning at 10 a.m., PST, November 16, 2005, at Cashman Theater
located inside Cashman Center at 850 Las Vegas Boulevard North, Las
Vegas, NV. Interested parties who will not be bidding are not required
to register and may proceed directly to the Cashman Theater. If you are
at the auction to conduct business with the high bidders or are there
to observe the process, should seating become limited, you may be asked
to relocate to the balcony or another area in order to provide seating
in the theater for all bidders before the auction begins. We will try
to provide an audio/visual transmission outside the theater for your
convenience.
10. All oral bidders are required to register. Registration for
oral bidding will begin at 8 a.m. PST on the day of the sale and will
end at 10 a.m. PST. You are encouraged to pre-register by mail or fax
by completing the form located in the Sale Packet. The form is also
available at the BLM LVFO.
11. Prior to receiving a bidder number on the day of the sale, all
registered bidders must submit a certified check, bank draft, or
cashier's check in the amount of $10,000. The check must be made
payable in U.S. dollars to the order of the Bureau of Land Management.
On the day of the sale, pre-registered bidders may go to the Express
Registration Desk, present their Photo Identification, the required
$10,000 check, and receive a bidder number. All other bidders must go
to the standard Registration Line where additional information will be
requested along with your Photo Identification and the required $10,000
check. Upon completion of registration you will be given a bidder
number. If you are a successful bidder, the $10,000 will be applied to
your required deposit. For parcel N-79580 arrangements may be made for
Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) of the required 20 percent deposit by
notifying BLM no later than October 31, 2005 of your intent to use EFT.
12. If you purchase one or more parcels and default on any single
parcel, the default may be against all of your parcels. BLM may retain
your $10,000 and the sale of all parcels to you may be cancelled.
Following the auction, checks will be returned to the unsuccessful
bidders upon presentation of their Photo Identification at the
designated area.
13. The highest qualifying bid for any parcel, whether sealed or
oral, will be declared the high bid. The apparent high bidder, if an
oral bidder, must submit a deposit of not less than 20 percent of the
successful bid by 3 p.m. PST on the day of the sale in the form of
cash, personal check, bank draft, cashiers check, money order or any
combination thereof, made payable in U.S. dollars to the Bureau of Land
Management. Funds must be delivered no later than 3 p.m. PST the day of
the sale to the BLM Collection Officers at the Cashman Theater. Funds
will NOT be accepted at the LVFO.
14. Oral bids will be considered only if received at the place of
sale and made at least for the FMV as determined by the BLM authorized
officer. For parcel N-79580 each prospective bidder will be required to
present a certified check, postal money order, bank draft or cashier's
check made payable in U.S. dollars to the Bureau of Land Management for
an amount of money which shall be no less than 20 percent of the
federally approved FMV of the designated parcel, in order to be
eligible to bid on it.
15. The remainder of the full bid price for each parcel, whether
sealed or oral bid, must be paid within 180 calendar days of the
competitive sale date in the form of a certified check, money order,
bank draft, or cashier's check made payable in U.S. dollars to the
Bureau of Land Management. Personal checks will not be accepted.
Arrangements for Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) to BLM for the balance
which is due on or before May 15, 2006, should be made a minimum of two
weeks prior to the date you wish to make payment. Failure to pay the
full price within the 180 days will disqualify the apparent high bidder
and cause the entire bid deposit to be forfeited to the BLM.
16. All sales are made in accordance with and subject to the
governing provisions of law and applicable regulations. In general, the
BLM may accept or reject any or all offers, or withdraw any parcel of
land or interest therein from sale, if, in the opinion of the BLM
authorized officer, consummation of the sale would not be fully
consistent with FLPMA or other applicable laws or is determined not to
be in the public interest.
17. Federal law requires bidders to be U.S. citizens 18 years of
age or older; a corporation subject to the laws of any State or of the
United States; a State, State instrumentality or political subdivision
authorized to hold property or an entity legally capable of conveying
lands or interests therein under the laws of the State of Nevada.
Certification of qualification, including citizenship or corporation or
partnership, must accompany the bid deposit and is subject to
verification by the BLM prior to consummation of the sale.
Additional Information
If not sold, any parcel described above in this Notice may be
identified for sale at a later date without further legal notice.
Unsold parcels, with the exception of parcel N-79580, may be offered
for sale in a future online Internet auction. Internet auction
procedures will be available at https://www.auctionrp.com. If unsold on
the Internet, parcels may be put up for sale at future oral and online
Internet auctions without additional legal notice. Upon publication of
this Notice and until the completion of the sale, the BLM is no longer
accepting land use applications affecting any parcel identified for
sale, including parcels that have been published in a previous NORA.
However, land use applications may be considered after completion of
the sale for parcels that are not sold through sealed, oral, or online
Internet auction procedures provided the
[[Page 48584]]
authorization will not adversely affect the marketability or value of
the parcel.
In order to determine the value, through appraisal, of the parcels
of land proposed to be sold, certain extraordinary assumptions may have
been made of the attributes and limitations of the lands and potential
effects of local regulations and policies on potential future land
uses. Through publication of this Notice, the Bureau of Land Management
gives notice that these assumptions may not be endorsed or approved by
units of local government. It is the buyer's responsibility to be aware
of all applicable Federal, State, and local government laws,
regulations and policies that may affect the subject lands, including
any required dedication of lands for public uses. It is also the
buyer's responsibility to be aware of existing or projected use of
nearby properties. When conveyed out of Federal ownership, the lands
will be subject to any applicable laws, regulations, and policies of
the applicable local government for proposed future uses. It will be
the responsibility of the purchaser to be aware of those laws
regulations, and policies, and to seek any required local approvals
pursuant to them. Buyers should also make themselves aware of any
Federal or State law or regulations that may impact the future use of
the property. Any land lacking access from a public road or highway
will be conveyed as such, and future access acquisition will be the
responsibility of the buyer.
Parcel N-75980. Potential bidders for parcel N-75980 should be
aware of the content of a document entitled, ``A Conservation Agreement
for the Management of Special Resources on the Bureau of Land
Management Parcels Nominated for Disposal by the City of Las Vegas''
entered into by BLM, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Nevada
Division of Forestry and the City of North Las Vegas (the
``Conservation Agreement''). Under the Conservation Agreement, BLM
retains ownership of approximately 300 acres partially surrounded by
parcel N-75980 for protection and preservation of certain special plant
and paleontological resources. BLM makes no warranty or representation
that this Conservation Agreement is the full extent of Federal or State
requirements that may impact parcel N-75980.
Environmental Assessment. The SNPLMA parcels proposed for sale were
analyzed in an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), entitled ``Las
Vegas Land Disposal Boundary EIS'', approved December 23, 2004. This
EIS is available for public review at the BLM LVFO. An Environmental
Assessment (EA) for this sale, which tiers to the EIS, has also been
prepared. The EA is available for public review and comment at the BLM
LVFO. BLM will be accepting public comment on the EA during the time
for comment on the proposed sale up to October 3, 2005.
Other information concerning the sale, including the appraisals,
reservations, sale procedures and conditions, CERCLA and other
environmental documents will be available for review at the BLM LVFO,
or by calling (702) 515-5114. Most of this information also will be
available on the Internet at https://propertydisposal.gsa.gov.
Public Comments: The general public and interested parties may
submit comments regarding the proposed sale to the Field Manager, BLM
LVFO, up to 45 days after publication of this Notice in the Federal
Register. Any adverse comments regarding the proposed sale will be
reviewed by the Nevada BLM State Director, or other authorized official
of the Department, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty
action in whole or in part. Any comments received during this process,
as well as the name and address of the commenter, will be available to
the public in the administrative record and/or pursuant to a Freedom of
Information Act request. You may indicate for the record that you do
not wish to have your name and/or address made available to the public.
Any determination by the Bureau of Land Management to release or
withhold the names and/or addresses of those who comment will be made
on a case-by-case basis. A request from a commenter to have their name
and/or address withheld from public release will be honored to the
extent permissible by law.
(Authority: 43 CFR 2711.1-2(a) and (c))
Termination of R&PP Classification--SNPLMA Withdrawal
Additionally, the following leases granted under the Recreation and
Public Purposes (R&PP) Act, 43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.) have been
relinquished: N-51824 (55FR39746), and N-51400 (55FR39746). The Notice
officially terminates the R&PP classification and segregation of the
parcels, but does not serve as an opening order because those parcels
are within the disposal boundary set by Congress in SNPLMA. Pursuant to
Section 4(c) of SNPLMA, these parcels are withdrawn, subject to valid
existing rights, from entry and appropriation under the public land
laws, location and entry under the mining laws and from operation under
the mineral leasing and geothermal leasing laws, until such time as the
Secretary of Interior terminates the withdrawal or the lands are
patented.
Dated: August 10, 2005.
