with the right to prospect for, mine and remove the minerals under 
applicable laws and regulations established by the Secretary of the

accordance with the approved plan of development on or before the day, 
5 years after the date of conveyance.
    5. All valid existing rights of record, including those documented 
on the official public land records at the time of lease or patent

    6. Provided, that if the patentee or its successor attempts to 
transfer title to or control over the land to another, or the land is 
devoted to a use other than that for which the land was conveyed, 
without the consent of the Secretary of the Interior or his delegate, 
or prohibits or restricts, directly or indirectly, or permits its 
agents, employees, contractors, or subcontractors, including without 
limitation, lessees, sublessees and permittees, to prohibit or 
restrict, directly or indirectly, the use of any part of the patented 
land or any of the facilities whereon by any person because of such 
person's race, creed, sex, color, or national origin, title shall 
revert to the United States.

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 a public school complex.
