ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The following described
lands, aggregating approximately 5.0
acres, more or less, have been
designated for disposal and will be
offered as a direct sale of public lands
within the City of Henderson in Clark
County, Nevada, to M Holdings, LLC.
DATES: Comment regarding the proposed
sale must be received by the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) on or before
February 13, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Comments regarding the
proposed sale should be addressed to:
Field Manager, Las Vegas Field Office,
Bureau of Land Management, 4701 N.
Torrey Pines Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada
89103.
More detailed information regarding
the proposed sale and the land involved
may be reviewed during normal
business hours (7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.)
at the Las Vegas Field Office (LVFO).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: You
may contact Judy Fry, Program Lead,
Sales at (702) 515–5081 or by email at
jfry@.blm.gov. You may also call (702)
515–5000 and ask to have your call
directed to a member of the Sales Team.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The lands
hereinafter described, consisting of 5.0
acres, more or less, have been
authorized and designated for disposal
under the Southern Nevada Public Land
Management Act of 1998 (112 Stat.
3242), as amended by the Clark County
Conservation of Public Land and
Natural Resources Act of 2002 (116 Stat.
1994) (hereinafter ‘‘SNPLMA’’). The
land will be offered noncompetitively as
a direct sale in accordance with the
applicable provisions of Sections 203
and 209 of the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976 (43
U.S.C. 1713 and 1719), respectively, its
implementing regulations, and in
accordance with 43 CFR 2710.0–2, at
not less than the appraised Fair Market
Value (FMV) of the parcel, which has
been determined to be $5,010,000.00.
It is determined that the sale meets
the criteria for disposal in FLPMA and
the regulations at 43 CFR 2710.0–3 (a)(2)
which states ‘‘Disposal of such tract
shall serve important public objectives,
including but not limited to, expansion
of communities and economic
development, which cannot be achieved
prudently or feasibly on lands other
than public lands and which outweigh
other objectives and values, including,
but not limited to, recreation and scenic
values, which would be served by
maintaining such tract in Federal
ownership; and, as stated in (a)(3) that
‘‘Such tract, because of its location or
other characteristics is difficult and
PO 00000
Frm 00067
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
uneconomic to manage as part of the
management by another Federal
department or agency.
43 CFR 2711.3–3 (a) states that
‘‘Direct sales (without competition) may
be utilized, when in the opinion of the
authorized officer, a competitive sale is
not appropriate and the public interest
would best be served by a direct sale.
Examples include, but are not limited
to: (2) A tract identified for sale that is
an integral part of a project of public
importance and speculative bidding
would jeopardize a timely completion
and economic viability of the project; or
(4) The adjoining ownership pattern and
access indicate a direct sale is
appropriate’’.
The City of Henderson (City), Nevada,
has proposed that the 5.0 acre parcel be
sold to M Holdings, LLC (MHLLC) as an
integral part of a public project of vital
economic development importance. The
City is further interested in addressing
critical transportation needs adjacent to
the St. Rose Parkway/Las Vegas
Boulevard/Haven Road interchange and
enhancing the ‘‘gateway’’ to the City.
MHLLC has been cooperative with the
City and as the landowner of record, on
all four sides of the subject parcel.
MHLLC has entered into appropriate
transportation and access agreements as
part of an overall redevelopment
agreement for the surrounding land.
Based upon a direct request from the
City, MHLLC has agreed to donate
approximately 3.0 acres of private land
to the City for a new interchange,
finance and construct a new intersection
for Haven Street from St. Rose Parkway
to Bicentennial Parkway, and pay for
the light and associated improvements
at the proposed intersection.
The City has proposed to the BLM
that Federal lands immediately adjacent
to the donated property be sold to
MHLLC at fair market value to enable
MHLLC to replace the donated land and
avoid unduly diminishing the size and
value of their aggregate property. The
City of Henderson expressed specific
concerns that speculative bidding on the
federal parcel could prevent MHLLC
from purchasing the replacement lands,
thus stopping the donation and
impairing the City’s ability to complete
the public project. The 3.0 acre donation
from MHLLC to the City, which will be
recorded in the County, is a term and
condition of the FMV direct sale to
MHLLC. In the opinion of the
authorized officer, a direct sale to
MHLLC best serves the public interest.
In this instance, MHLLC’s ownership
of adjacent parcels meets the regulatory
adjoining ownership and access test as
well. MHLLC owns parcels adjacent to
the federal parcel on all sides and
