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.
