SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
following described land in Clark
County, Nevada has 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.). The parcel of land is located on
the southwest corner of Grand Teton

Nevada, and is legally described as:
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 19 S., R. 60 E.,
Sec. 18, E1⁄2NE1⁄4NE1⁄4NE1⁄4.
The area described contains 5 acres,
more or less.
In accordance with the R&PP Act, the
City of Las Vegas has filed an R&PP
application to develop the above
described land as a public park with
related facilities to meet the park space
needs of this rapidly growing area.
Related facilities include picnic
shelters, walking paths, landscaping,
restrooms, large open turf play areas,
parking lot, off-site improvements
including street grading and paving,

Additional detailed information
pertaining to this application, plan of

file N–84545, which is located in the
Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Las
Vegas Field Office at the above address.
Cities are a common applicant under
the public purposes provision of the
R&PP Act. The City of Las Vegas is a
political subdivision of the State of
Nevada and is therefore a qualified
applicant under the R&PP Act. The land
is not required for any Federal purpose.
The lease/conveyance is consistent with
the BLM Las Vegas Resource
Management Plan, dated October 5,
1998, and would be in the public
interest. The lease/conveyance, when
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
or canals constructed by the authority of
the United States, Act of August 30,

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.
The lease/conveyance will be subject
to:
1. Valid existing rights; and
2. A right-of-way for an underground
distribution line granted to Nevada
Power Company, its successors and
assigns, by right-of-way N–77846,
pursuant to the Act of October 21, 1976,
090 Stat. 2776, 43 U.S.C. 1761.
Upon publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, the land described
above will be segregated from all other
forms of appropriation under the public
land laws, including the general mining
laws, except for lease/conveyance under
the R&PP Act, leasing under the mineral
leasing laws and disposals under the
mineral material disposal laws.
Interested parties may submit written
comments regarding the specific use
proposed in the application and plan of
development, whether BLM followed
proper administrative procedures in
reaching the decision to lease/convey
under the R&PP Act, or any other factor
not directly related to the suitability of
the land for R&PP use. Any adverse
comments will be reviewed by the BLM
Nevada State Director, who may sustain,
vacate, or modify this realty action. In
the absence of any adverse comments,
this realty action will become the final
determination of the Department of the
Interior. Before including your address,
phone number, e-mail address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so. Only written comments
submitted by postal service or overnight
mail to the Field Manager, BLM Las
Vegas Field Office, will be considered

leasing after ten years. The ROD
provides for protection of surface values
in lands available for leasing through a
range of protective measures, such as
restrictions on where permanent oil and
gas facilities may be located, seasonal
restrictions on certain activities, and
restrictions on how activities may be
conducted to minimize impacts. Most
changes between the Final
Supplemental IAP/EIS and the ROD
reflect adoption of potential mitigation
measures to provide additional
protection for air quality, fish, birds,
and public health.

The BLM announces the
availability of the ROD for the Northeast
NPR–A planning area, located within
the NPR–A in northern Alaska.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the Northeast
NPR–A Supplemental IAP ROD are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Northeast NPR–A Supplemental IAP
ROD completes a planning effort
initiated in 2003 to amend the Northeast
NPR–A IAP of 1998. The BLM
completed the Northeast NPR–A
Amended IAP/EIS in 2005 and issued a
ROD based on the IAP/EIS in January
2006. In September 2006, the U.S.
District Court for the District of Alaska
found the Amended IAP/EIS’s analysis
inadequate and vacated the ROD for the
Amended IAP/EIS. The BLM initiated
the Supplemental IAP/EIS to address
the inadequacies of the Amended IAP/
EIS. The BLM issued a Draft
Supplemental IAP/EIS for the planning
area in August 2007 and a Final
Supplemental IAP/EIS in May 2008.
The plan adopted in the
Supplemental IAP ROD is essentially
the same as Alternative D, the Preferred
Alternative, in the Final Supplemental
IAP/EIS. The ROD makes approximately
4 million acres available for oil and gas
leasing immediately and approximately
430,000 additional acres available for

In accordance with Departmental
Policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby
given that a proposed Consent Decree in
United States v. Richmond American

This proposed Consent Decree concerns
a complaint filed by the United States

301(a) and 404 of the Clean Water Act
