Summary
This bill expands the Apex Project, Nevada Land Transfer and Authorization Act of 1989 to extend the rights-of-ways granted to Clark County, Nevada, to other entities and make related requirements.
Specifically, the Department of the Interior must grant certain utility and transportation rights-of-way granted to Clark County to the city of North Las Vegas or the Apex Industrial Park Owners Association for the connection of existing electric power, water, natural gas, telephone, railroad, and highway facilities to the Kerr-McGee site and the other lands conveyed in accordance with this bill. By extending these rights-of-ways, the bill expedites the permitting process for such utilities and infrastructure.
Interior may also grant to the city of North Las Vegas and the Apex Industrial Park Owners Association, in addition to Clark County, such rights-of-way on public lands as may be necessary to support the development as a heavy use industrial zone of certain lands.

Interior may sell at fair market value, without advertising or calling for bids and without regard to volume or time limitations, mineral materials resulting from grading, land balancing, or other activities on the surface of land within the Apex Site where the federal government retains an interest in the minerals.
Land transfers and rights-of-way issued within the site must comply with applicable federal land laws, including the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976.
