ACTION: Notice of Realty Action.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act request for lease 
and subsequent conveyance of approximately 20 acres in two separate 
parcels of public land in Clark County, Nevada. The Clark County School 
District (CCSD) proposes to use the land for one 15-acre public 
elementary school and one five-acre addition to an existing public high 
school.

DATES: Interested parties may submit written comments regarding the 
proposed lease/conveyance of the lands until January 14, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Mail written comments to the BLM Las Vegas Field Manager, 
Las Vegas Field Office, 4701 N. Torrey Pines Drive, Las Vegas, NV 
89130-2301.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brenda Warner, (702) 515-5084.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described public lands in Las 
Vegas, Clark County, Nevada have been examined and found suitable for 
lease and subsequent conveyance under the provisions of the R&PP Act, 
as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.) On parcel one, identified as serial 
number N-75716, CCSD proposes to use 15 acres of land for an elementary 
school. The elementary school structure will be similar to the design 
of Marshall Darnell Elementary School. The building consists of 62,500 
square feet and contains twenty-nine classrooms, one library, a 
multipurpose room, and a teachers' lounge. The structure will feature 
tilt-up concrete slabs with a refrigerated air-conditioned system and a 
heating system. The school will accommodate an estimated enrollment of 
660 students. This area is currently serviced by Aggie Roberts 
Elementary school which is on a year-round schedule. The new school 
will alleviate overcrowding and allow both schools to maintain nine 
month schedules. This parcel is located in the southeastern part of 
valley, northeast of the intersection of Spencer Street and Pebble 
Road, and can be described as:

    On parcel two, identified as BLM serial number N-41566-14, CCSD 
proposes to use five acres of land to add to their current twenty-acre 
lease for the Career and Technical Academy (high school). Increased 
student enrollment has created a need for a larger structure and 
campus. N-41566-14 is located in the southwestern part of the valley, 
southwest of the intersection of Windmill Lane and South Rainbow 
Boulevard and can be described as:
