Sec.  2621.4  Application for selection of unsurveyed lands.



    (a) The authorized officer will reject any application for selection 

of unsurveyed lands if: (1) The costs of survey of the lands would 

grossly exceed the average per-acre costs of surveying public lands 

under the rectangular system of surveys in the State in which the lands 

are located, or (2) if the conveyance of the lands would create serious 

problems in the administration of the remaining public lands or 

resources thereof or would significantly diminish the value of the 

remaining public lands. The term remaining public lands means the public 

lands from which the applied-for lands would be separated by survey.

    (b) In addition to the provisions of this section, applications for 

selection of unsurveyed lands are subject to the provisions of subpart 

2400.
