SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A notice
was previously published in the Federal
Register on October 16, 2007, (72 FR
58682) segregating approximately 41.48
acres of public land for a park site and
police substation under the R&PP Act.
The lease was issued to the city on April
8, 2008. The city wants to change the
use of the northwest 10 acres of the site
to a safety, training and rescue skills
area called Northern Safety Training
and Rescue Skills (STARS) Village. The
remaining 31.48 acres of land is still
being used as a park and police
substation. The parcel of land is legally
described as:
Emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 19 S., R. 61 E., sec. 24, Lot 12 (within).
The change of use area described
contains 10 acres, more or less. This
description will be refined upon final
approval of the official plat of survey.
The city filed an R&PP application to
change the use and to develop the above
described land as a Northern STARS
Village with related facilities. Related
facilities include: Amphitheater, picnic
area, educational fire fighters park,
education classrooms, education
auditorium, administration building,
garage, swimming pool and parking
area. The mission of the Northern
STARS Village is to provide state-of-theart, hands-on, and life-safety programs
such as bicycle safety, emergency
services, fire safety and prevention,
injury prevention for seniors, internet
safety, motor vehicle safety, pedestrian
safety, rules of the road, and water
safety. Additional detailed information
pertaining to this application, plan of
development, and site plan is in case
file N–80113, which is located in the
BLM Las Vegas Field Office at the above
address.
The city is a political subdivision of
the State of Nevada and is therefore a
qualified applicant under the R&PP Act.
The change of use of the public land
shall be subject to valid existing rights
as previously published. Subject to
limitations prescribed by law and
regulation, prior to patent issuance, a
holder of any right-of-way within the
lease area may be given the opportunity
to amend the right-of-way for
conversion to a new term, including
perpetuity, if applicable.
Interested parties may submit written
comments regarding the specific use
proposed in the application and plan of
development or any other factor not
directly related to the suitability of the
land for a Northern STARS Village. 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 and will
become effective on July 18, 2011. The
lands will not be available as a Northern
STARS Village until after the decision
becomes effective.

Notice of Scoping for Cesar

AGENCY:
ACTION:
In accordance with provisions
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (Pub L. 91–190) and Council
on Environmental Quality’s
implementing regulations (40 CFR
1502.9(c)), the National Park Service
(NPS) has initiated the public scoping
phase for a conservation planning and
environmental impact analysis process
needed to identify and assess potential
impacts of alternatives for resource
protection and other considerations
concerning sites associated with Cesar

Chavez and the farm labor movement
throughout California and Arizona,
including but not necessarily limited to
Alameda, Fresno, Imperial, Kern, Los
Angeles, Monterey, Riverside, San
Benito, San Diego, San Francisco, San
Joaquin, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara,
Stanislaus, Tulare and Ventura Counties
of California, and Yuma and Maricopa
Counties of Arizona. The purpose of the
scoping phase is to elicit early public
comment regarding issues and concerns,
preliminary alternatives, and the nature
and extent of potential environmental
impacts (and as appropriate, mitigation
measures) which should be addressed.
Background: As authorized by the
Consolidated Natural Resources Act of
2008 (Pub. L. 110–229–May 2008), the
NPS is conducting a special resource
study of the sites in the State of Arizona,
the State of California, and other states
that are significant to the life of Cesar
Chavez and the farm labor movement in
the western United States. The
authorizing statute directs the NPS to
consult with the Cesar Chavez
Foundation, the United Farm Workers
Union, state and local historical
associations and societies, and state
historic preservation offices.
In conducting the Cesar Chavez
Special Resource Study, the NPS will
evaluate the significance of the sites’
resources and assess the sites’ suitability
and feasibility to be a unit of the
national park system. Factors which the
NPS will evaluate include: Whether the
sites posses nationally significant
cultural resources; whether the sites
include types or quality of resources not
already adequately represented in the
National Park System; whether longterm protection and public use of sites
are feasible; and whether sites can be
adequately protected and administered
at a reasonable cost. Recommendations
may vary for different sites.
The NPS will also consider:
alternative strategies for the
management, protection and use of
significant resources, including
management by other public agencies or
the private sector; technical or financial
assistance available from established
programs or special initiatives and
partnerships; alternative designations to
a national park unit; and cooperative
management by NPS and other entities.
Public Involvement: The NPS will
develop a range of management
alternatives, and conduct an
environmental review of the alternatives
and their potential impacts as part of the
Cesar Chavez Special Resource Study.
At this time, it has not been determined
whether an Environmental Assessment
or an Environmental Impact Statement
will be prepared, however, this scoping

effort will aid in the preparation of
either document. In addition to this
opportunity to comment and participate
from the beginning of the study process,
the public will be afforded the
opportunity to review the
environmental document and submit
additional comments. For initial
scoping and alternatives development,
the most useful comments are those that
provide the NPS with assistance in
identifying issues and concerns which
should be addressed, or providing
important information germane to this
study. All responses to this Scoping
Notice will also be used to establish a
mailing list of interested persons,
organizations, and agencies that desire
to receive further information as the
environmental document is developed.
The public scoping period for the
Cesar Chavez Special Resource Study
will conclude June 16, 2011. Scoping
meetings (public workshops) will be
held in the vicinity of key sites, likely
in or near San Jose, the Salinas Valley,
Delano, Los Angeles, Oxnard, Yuma and
Phoenix in April and May of 2010. A
news release will be distributed
announcing the public meetings. The
dates, times and locations of the
meetings will be posted on both the
project Web site (address below) and the
Web site for NPS Planning,
Environment and Public Comment, and
will be advertised in a newsletter which
will be distributed to stakeholders and
interested parties. Interested
individuals, organizations, and agencies
wishing to provide written comments
on issues or concerns should respond
to: National Park Service, Cesar Chavez
Special Resource Study, Park Planning
and Environmental Compliance, 1111
Jackson Street, Suite 700, Oakland, CA
94607. Comments may also be
submitted electronically by e-mail
(address below) or through the NPS
Planning, Environment and Public
Comment (PEPC) Web site. This site can
be accessed through the study’s Web
site listed below.
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

listed Web site, and direct mailing. At
this time the environmental document
is anticipated to be available for public
review and comment in Fall 2011.
Comments on the draft document will
be fully considered and responded to as
appropriate in the final document. The
official responsible for the initial
recommendation will be the Regional
Director, Pacific West Region, National
Park Service. The official responsible for
amending or ratifying the
recommendation and transmitting the
final document to the Secretary of the
Interior will be the Director of the
National Park Service. The final
document will identify the alternative
that, in the professional judgment of the
Director of the National Park Service, is
the most effective and efficient method
for protecting significant resources and
providing for public enjoyment. The
Secretary of the Interior subsequently
will forward the completed study along
with a recommendation regarding the
Secretary’s preferred management
option for the area to Congress for their
consideration. It is anticipated that the
final study report will be available in
late 2011.
