    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 96]]



    (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.
