    The statutes cited in Sec. 2400.0-3 authorize the Secretary of the 
Interior to classify or otherwise take appropriate steps looking to the 
disposition of public lands, and on an interim basis, to classify public 
lands for retention and management, subject to requirements of the 
applicable statutes. In addition to any requirements of law, it is the 
policy of the Secretary (a) to specify those criteria which will be 
considered in the exercise of his authority and (b) to establish 
procedures which will permit the prompt and efficient exercise of his 
authority with, as far as is practicable, the knowledge and 
participation of the interested parties, including the general public. 
Nothing in these regulations is meant to affect applicable State laws 
governing the appropriation and use of water, regulation of hunting and 
fishing or exercise of any police power of the State.
