SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has examined and found
suitable for classification for lease and subsequent conveyance under
the provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act, as
amended, approximately 10 acres of public land in Clark County, Nevada.
The Crossroads Community Church proposes to use the land for a church
and related facilities.
DATES: Interested parties may submit comments regarding the proposed
lease/conveyance or classification of the lands until July 27, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to the Field Manager, BLM Las Vegas
Field Office, 4701 N. Torrey Pines Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89130.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sharon DiPinto, Assistant Field
Manager, Bureau of Land Management, Las Vegas Field Office, at (702)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described public land in Clark
County, Nevada, has been examined and found suitable for classification
for lease and subsequent conveyance under the provisions of the
Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et
seq.), and is hereby classified accordingly:
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 22 S., R. 61 E., Sec. 33: SE\1/4\NE\1/4\SE\1/4\.
Containing 10 acres, more or less.
In accordance with the R&PP Act, the Crossroads Community Church
filed an application for the above-described 10 acres of public land to
be developed as a church and related facilities. These related
facilities include a multipurpose building (a worship center, offices,
classrooms, nursery, kitchen, restrooms, utility/storage rooms, and a
lobby), sidewalks, landscaped areas, paved parking areas, daycare
center, youth athletic fields, and off site improvements. Additional
detailed information pertaining to this application, plan of
development, and site plans is in case file N-80579 located in the BLM
Las Vegas Field Office at the above address.
Churches are a common applicant under the ``public purposes''
provision of the R&PP Act. The Crossroads Community Church is an
Internal Revenue Service registered non-profit organization and is,
therefore, a qualified applicant under the R&PP Act.
The lease/conveyance is consistent with the Las Vegas Resource
Management Plan dated October 5, 1998, and would be in the public
interest. The lease/patent, 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, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945);
and
2. All minerals 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/
patent will also be subject to:
1. An easement in favor of Clark County for roads, public
utilities, and flood control purposes; and
2. All valid existing rights documented on the official public land
records at the time of lease/patent issuance.
On June 12, 2006, 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.
Comments
Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments
involving the suitability of the land for a church and related
facilities. Comments on the classification are restricted to whether
the land is physically suited for the proposal, whether the use will
maximize the future use or uses of the land, whether the use is
consistent with local planning and zoning, or if the use is consistent
with State and Federal programs.
Application Comments: Interested parties may submit comments
regarding the specific use proposed in the application and plan of
development, whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures
in reaching its classification decision, 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 State Director. In the
absence of any adverse comments, the classification of the land
described in this notice will become effective on August 11, 2006. The
lands will not be available for lease/conveyance until after the
classification becomes effective.
Authority: 43 CFR part 2740.
