SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In response to an application submitted by 
the Clark County School District, the BLM has examined and found 
suitable for classification for lease or conveyance for public high

The land is not required for any Federal purpose. Lease/conveyance is 
consistent with the Las Vegas Resource Management Plan dated October 5,

issued, will be subject to the provisions of the R&PP Act and 
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior and will 
contain the following reservations to the United States:
    1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
    2. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine and remove such deposits from the 
same under applicable law and such regulations as the Secretary of the 
Interior may prescribe.
    And will be subject to:
    1. Valid and existing rights;
    2. Right-of-way N-1521 for the Southern Nevada Water Project 
granted to the Bureau of Reclamation, its successors or assigns, 
pursuant to the Act of December 5, 1924 (43 Stat 0672);
    3. Right-of-way N-29996 for underground power distribution lines

    4. Right-of-way N-39448 for roads, utilities and drainage system 
pursuant to the Act of December 5, 1924 (43 Stat 0672); and
    5. Right-of-way Nev-061252 for a water retention facility granted 
to the City of North Las Vegas, its successors or assigns, pursuant to

your comment. The BLM will honor requests for confidentiality on a 
case-by-case basis to the extent allowed by law. The BLM will make 
available for public review, in their entirety, all comments submitted 
by businesses or organizations, including comments by individuals in 
their capacity as an official or representative of a business or
