sec. 25, SE1⁄4SE1⁄4.
The areas described contain
approximately 1,046 acres, more or less.
The MCPRD proposes to use the above
described lands for a variety of
recreation facilities to be associated
with the Vulture Mountains Cooperative
Recreation Management Area. This is a
cooperatively managed area between the
BLM and MCPRD for public lands
located south of Wickenburg, Arizona.
Related improvements for the proposed
lease include picnic and camping
facilities, restrooms, trailheads,
developed day use facilities, and
parking.
Issuance of a lease is in conformance
with the Bradshaw Harquahala Resource
Management Plan, approved April 2010,
through land use authorization decision
LR–24, and is in the public’s interest.
The lands are not needed for any other
Federal purpose and the lease will be
analyzed in a site-specific
environmental analysis.
Upon publication in the Federal
Register, the lands described above will
be segregated from all forms of
appropriation under the public land
laws, including the general mining laws,
except for lease under the R&PP Act and
leasing under the mineral leasing laws.
Detailed information concerning this
action is available for public review
during normal business hours at the
address above.
The lease, when issued, will be
subject to the provisions of the R&PP
Act and will contain the following
terms, conditions, and reservations:
1. Provisions of the R&PP Act and all
applicable regulations of the Secretary
of the Interior.
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
applicable law and such regulations as
the Secretary of the Interior may
prescribe.
3. All valid existing rights.
4. An appropriate indemnification
clause protecting the United States from
claims arising out of the lessee’s use,
occupancy, or operation of the property.
It will also contain any other terms and
conditions deemed necessary and
appropriate by the Authorized Officer.
5. The lessee shall comply with and
shall not violate any of the terms or
provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964 (78 Stat. 241), and
requirements of the regulations, as
modified or amended, of the Secretary
of the Interior issued pursuant thereto
(43 CFR part 17) for the period that the
lands leased herein are used for the
purpose for which the grant was made
pursuant to the act cited above, or for
another purpose involving the provision
of similar services or benefits.
Classification Comments: Interested
parties may submit comments on the
suitability of the lands for a developed
recreation area. Comments on the
classification are restricted to whether
the lands are physically suited for the
proposal, whether the use will
maximize the future use or uses of the
lands, whether the use is consistent
with local planning and zoning, or if the
use is consistent with Federal and State
programs.
Application Comments: Interested
parties may submit comments regarding
the specific uses proposed in the
application and plans of development,
whether the BLM followed proper
administrative procedures in reaching
the decision, or any other factor not
directly related to the suitability of the
lands for recreation purposes. Any
adverse comments will be reviewed by
the BLM State Director. In the absence
of any adverse comments, the
classification will become effective on
January 9, 2017. The lands will not be
offered for lease until after the
classification becomes effective.
Before including your address, phone
number, email 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 available to the public at any
time. While you can ask in your
comment to withhold your personal
identifying information from public
review, we cannot guarantee that we
will be able to do so.

The National Park Service

ACTION:
Public notice is hereby given
that the National Park Service proposes
to award a sole-source concession
contract for the conduct of certain
visitor services within Lake Mead
National Recreation Area (Lake Mead
NRA) for a term not to exceed five (5)
years. The visitor services include the
provision of wireless Internet access
within remote but developed areas of
Lake Mead NRA.
DATES: The term of the sole-source
concession contract will commence (if
awarded) no earlier than sixty (60) days
from the publication of this notice.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Director of the National Park Service
(NPS) may award a concession contract
non-competitively upon a determination
that extraordinary circumstances exist
under which compelling and equitable
considerations require the award of the
concession contract to a particular
qualified person in the public interest
(36 CFR 51.25). Contracts that are
awarded non-competitively pursuant to
36 CFR 51.25 are commonly referred to
as ‘‘sole-source’’ contracts.
The NPS has determined that
BladeBeam, Inc. is a ‘‘qualified person’’
as defined by 36 CFR 51.3, and has
determined that compelling and
equitable considerations exist because
of the difficulty of providing wireless
Internet in the remote but developed
areas of Lake Mead NRA, and because
BladeBeam, Inc. is willing to make a
significant investment with no
guaranteed return.
