Sec. 2370.0-3  Authority.

    The Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (63 
Stat. 377), as amended, governs the disposal of surplus Federal lands or 
interests in lands. Section 3 of that Act (40 U.S.C. 472), as amended, 
February 28, 1958 (72 Stat. 29), excepts from its provisions the 
following:
    (a) The public domain.
    (b) Lands reserved or dedicated for national forest or national park 
purposes.
    (c) Minerals in lands or portions of lands withdrawn or reserved 
from the public domain which the Secretary of the Interior determines 
are suitable for disposition under the public land mining and mineral 
leasing laws.
    (d) Lands withdrawn or reserved from the public domain, but not 
including lands or portions of lands so withdrawn or reserved which the 
Secretary of the Interior, with the concurrence of the Administrator of 
the General Services Administration, determines are not suitable for 
return to the public domain for disposition under the general public-
land laws, because such lands are substantially changed in character by 
improvements or otherwise.
