Public Law (07/15/2025)
Apex Area Technical Corrections Act
This act directs the Department of the Interior to grant certain rights-of-way related to the Apex Project (an industrial park) to Clark County in Nevada, the city of North Las Vegas, and the Apex Industrial Park Owners Association. Thus, the act expedites the federal permitting process for expanding the industrial park's infrastructure.
Specifically, the act directs Interior to grant utility and transportation rights-of-way to the city of North Las Vegas and the Apex Industrial Park Owners Association for the connection of existing electric power, water, natural gas, telephone, railroad, and highway facilities to lands within the Apex Project site. (Interior is already directed to grant such rights-of-way to Clark County.)
Interior must also grant to the county, the city, and association such rights-of-way on public lands as may be necessary to support the development of the industrial park as a heavy use industrial zone. (Currently, Interior may grant the rights-of-way to the county.)
The act also requires that the withdrawal of the transferred lands within the Apex Site from all forms of entry and appropriation under the public land laws (e.g., leasing the land for minerals) continue in perpetuity.
In the case of the sale of mineral materials resulting from grading or other activities on the surface of a land parcel within the Apex Project site, the sales are exempt from quantity and term limitations placed on noncompetitive sales.

Introduced in House (01/22/2025)
Apex Area Technical Corrections Act
This bill provides for the transfer of certain rights-of-way related to the Apex Project from the Department of the Interior to the city of North Las Vegas and the Apex Industrial Park Owners Association.
Specifically, the bill modifies the Apex Project, Nevada Land Transfer and Authorization Act of 1989, which provided Clark County, Nevada, with the option to acquire certain federal land referred to as the Apex Site for use as sites for industries that generate hazardous materials (including the Kerr-McGee site).
Under the bill, the Department of the Interior must grant utility and transportation rights-of-way to the city of North Las Vegas and 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 the bill.
Interior must also grant to the city and association such rights-of-way on public lands as may be necessary to support the development as a heavy use industrial zone of some or all of the lands authorized for sale by Interior within the Apex Site that lie outside the boundaries of the Kerr-McGee site.
Transfers by the United States of any additional lands or interests in lands within the Apex Site or rights-of-way issued pursuant to this bill must be conditioned upon compliance with applicable federal land laws.
The withdrawal of the lands within the Apex Site must continue in perpetuity for all of the transferred lands.
