or uses of the land, whether the use is consistent with local planning 
and zoning, or whether 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 the decision, or any other factor not directly related to 
the suitability of the land for a public park.
    Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or 
other personal identifying information in your comment, be advised that 
your entire comment--including your personal identifying information--
may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in 
your comment to withhold from public review your personal identifying 
information, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director who may 
sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. In the absence of any 
adverse comments, this classification action will become the final 
determination of the Department of the Interior May 11, 2007. The lands 
will not be available for lease/conveyance until after the 
classification becomes effective.
