    Detailed information concerning this action is available for review 
at the office of the Bureau of Land Management, Eagle Lake Resource 
Area, 2950 Riverside Drive, Susanville, California.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands 
will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under the 
public land laws, including the general mining laws, except for lease 
or conveyance under Recreation and Public Purposes Act and leasing 
under the mineral leasing laws. For a period of 45 days from the date 
of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, interested 
persons may submit comments regarding the proposed lease/conveyance or 
classification of the lands to the Area Manager, Eagle Lake Resoure 
Area Office, 2950 Riverside Drive, Susanville, California 96130.

Classification Comments

    These lands are not essential to any Bureau of Land Management 
program and no resource needed by the public will be lost through 
transfer to private ownership. Disposal will not be adverse to any 
known public or private interest. The land meets the classification 
criteria in 43 CFR 2430.4(c) as land valuable for public purposes. The 
land may, therefore, be classified for lease with the option to 
purchase consistent with 2430.2(b). This classification would be 
consistent with the criteria of 43 CFR 2410.1 (a)-(d). Interested 
parties may submit comments involving suitability of the land for 
public purposes, i.e. schools, hospital, etc. Comments on the 
Recreation and Public Purposes Act 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 uses 
under consideration, whether the BLM followed proper administrative 
procedures in reaching the decision, or any other factor not directly 
related to the suitability of the land for conveyance under the 
Recreation and Public Purposes Act, as amended, (43 U.S.C. 869, et 
seq.).
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director. In the 
absence of any adverse comments, the classification will become 
effective 60 days from the date of publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register.
John Bosworth,
Acting Area Manager.
