proposed in the application and plan of development, whether the BLM 
followed proper administrative procedures in reaching the decision or 
any other factor not related to the suitability of the land for the 
proposed DMV site, Vehicle Identification Number inspection station and 
other future State of Nevada facilities. Any adverse comments will be 
reviewed by the State Director who may sustain, vacate, or modify this
