applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.
    2. A right-of-way for ditches and canals constructed by the

at the office of the Bureau of Land Management, Taos Field Office, 226 
Cruz Alta Rd., Taos, NM 87571.
    On December 14, 2004, the lands will be segregated from all other 
forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the 
general mining laws, except for lease or conveyance under the 
Recreation and Public Purposes Act and leasing under the mineral 
leasing laws. Interested persons may submit comments regarding the 
proposed lease/conveyance or classification of the lands to the Field 
Office Manager, BLM Taos Office, 226 Cruz Alta Road, Taos, New Mexico

    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for a recreation area and public 
works facility to the Town of Edgewood. Comments on the classification 
are restricted to whether the land is 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 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 the proposed use.
