under the mineral leasing laws. The segregative effect will terminate 
upon issuance of a patent or as specified in an opening order to be 
published in the Federal Register, whichever comes first.

Register.
CLASSIFICATION COMMENTS: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for a golf course. Comments on 
the classification are restricted to whether the land is physically

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 use proposed in the application and plan of development,
