Sec. 2461.1  Proposed classifications.

    (a) Proposed classifications will be clearly set forth on a map by 
the authorized officer, and on the Land Office records.
    (1) Notice of proposed classifications involving more than 2,560 
acres will be, and those involving 2,560 acres or less may be, published 
in the Federal Register and an announcement in a newspaper having 
general circulation in the area or areas in the vicinity of the affected 
lands.
    (2) Notice of the proposals will be sent to authorized users, 
licensees, lessees, and permittees, or their selected representatives, 
the head of the governing body of the political subdivision of the 
State, if any, having jurisdiction over zoning in the geographic area in 
which the lands are located, the governor of that State, the BLM 
multiple use advisory board in that State, and the District advisory 
board and to any other parties indicating interest in such 
classifications.
    (3) The notice will indicate where and when the map and Land Office 
records may be examined. The notice will specify the general location of 
the lands, the acreage involved, and the extent to which the land is 
proposed to be segregated from settlement, location, sale, selection, 
entry, lease, or other form of disposal under the public land laws, 
including the mining and mineral leasing laws. The notice of proposed 
classification will specify the period during which comments will be 
received, which will not be less than 60 days from date of publication 
of the notice.
    (4) The authorized officer will hold a public hearing on the 
proposal if (i) the proposed classification will affect more than 25,000 
acres or (ii) he determines that sufficient public interest exists to 
warrant the time and expense of a hearing.
