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 Town of New Harmony's 
application, whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures 
in reaching the decision, or any other factor not directly related to
