If the authorized officer determines that a public meeting should be held, it will be scheduled and conducted in accordance with 43 CFR 2310.3- 1(c)(2).

The application will be processed in accordance with the regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2300. 5. The subject land is currently withdrawn for the Department of the Navy for military purposes and therefore is segregated from settlement, sale, location, or entry under the general land laws, location and entry under the United States mining laws, and the operation of the mineral leasing laws. The temporary uses which may be permitted during this segregative period are those which are compatible with the use of the land, as determined by the Bureau of Land Management and the Department of the Navy.
