    All classifications under the regulations of this part will give due 
consideration to ecology, priorities of use, and the relative values of 
the various resources in particular areas. They must be consistent with 
all the following criteria:

[[Page 100]]

    (a) The lands must be physically suitable or adaptable to the uses 
or purposes for which they are classified. In addition, they must have 
such physical and other characteristics as the law may require them to 
have to qualify for a particular classification.
    (b) All present and potential uses and users of the lands will be 
taken into consideration. All other things being equal, land 
classifications will attempt to achieve maximum future uses and minimum 
disturbance to or dislocation of existing users.
    (c) All land classifications must be consistent with State and local 
government programs, plans, zoning, and regulations applicable to the 
area in which the lands to be classified are located, to the extent such 
State and local programs, plans, zoning, and regulations are not 
inconsistent with Federal programs, policies, and uses, and will not 
lead to inequities among private individuals.
    (d) All land classifications must be consistent with Federal 
programs and policies, to the extent that those programs and policies 
affect the use or disposal of the public lands.
