                    TITLE 43--PUBLIC LANDS: INTERIOR
 
    CHAPTER II--BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
 
PART 2430_DISPOSAL CLASSIFICATIONS--Table of Contents
 
           Subpart 2430_Criteria for Disposal Classifications
 
Sec. 2430.4  Additional criteria for classification of lands valuable 
for public purposes.

    (a) To be valuable for public purposes, lands must be suitable for 
use by a State or local governmental entity or agency for some 
noncommercial and nonindustrial governmental program or suitable for 
transfer to a non-Federal interest in a transaction which will benefit a 
Federal, State, or local governmental program.
    (b) Lands found to be valuable for public purposes may be classified 
for sale pursuant to the Public Land Sale Act as chiefly valuable for 
public uses or development or for transfer in satisfaction of a State 
land grant, or for transfer to a State or local governmental agency in 
exchange for other property, or for transfer to a governmental agency 
under any applicable act of Congress other than the Recreation and 
Public Purposes Act (44 Stat. 741), as amended (43 U.S.C. 869-869-4), if 
(1) the proposed use includes profit activities or if the interested, 
qualified governmental agency and the authorized officer agree that 
there is no need for the perpetual dedication of the lands to public 
uses required by the Recreation and Public Purposes Act, and (2) in the 
case of sales under the Public Land Sale Act, adequate zoning 
regulations exist in the area in which the lands are located.
    (c) Lands found to be valuable for public purposes will ordinarily 
be classified for sale or lease under the Recreation and Public Purposes 
Act (see part 2740 and subpart 2912 of this chapter) if the proposed use 
involves nonprofit activities and if it is determined by the authorized 
officer that the provisions of that Act are required to insure the 
continued dedication of the lands to such uses, or otherwise to carry 
out the purposes of the Act.
    (d) Lands may be classified for exchange under appropriate authority 
where they are found to be chiefly valuable for public purposes because 
they have special values, arising from the interest of exchange 
proponents, for exchange for other lands which are needed for the 
support of a Federal program.
