PART 2430_DISPOSAL CLASSIFICATIONS--Table of Contents
 
           Subpart 2430_Criteria for Disposal Classifications
 
Sec. 2430.2  General criteria for disposal classification.

    The general approach to determine the act under which lands are to 
be classified and disposed of is as follows:
    (a) Consideration under criteria listed in this part will first be 
given to whether the lands can be classified for retention for multiple 
use management, for disposal, or for both. If, under these criteria, 
they could be classified for both, the principles of Sec. 2410.2 will 
be applied.
    (b) If the lands are found to be suitable for disposal, 
consideration under the criteria of this part will be given to whether 
the lands are needed for urban or suburban purposes or whether they are 
chiefly valuable for other purposes. Lands found to be valuable for 
public purposes will be considered chiefly valuable for public purposes, 
except in situations where alternate sites are available to meet the 
public needs involved.
