    4. Any other valid and existing rights of record not yet 
identified.
    The land will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation 
under the public land laws, including the general mining laws and 
leasing under the mineral leasing laws, except for leasing or 
conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act on March 8,

comments regarding the proposed classification, leasing or conveyance

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 use proposed in the application, 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 shooting range.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director. In the 
absence of any adverse comments, the classification will become
