           Subpart 2430--Criteria for Disposal Classifications
 
Sec. 2430.3  Additional criteria for classification of lands needed for urban or suburban purposes.

    (a) To be needed for urban or suburban purposes it must be 
anticipated that a community will embrace the lands within 15 years.
    (b) Lands determined to be needed for urban or suburban purposes may 
be classified for sale pursuant to the Public Land Sale Act as being 
required for the orderly growth and development of a community, if (1) 
adequate zoning regulations are in effect and (2) adequate local 
governmental comprehensive plans have been adopted.
    (c) Lands determined to be needed for urban or suburban purposes may 
be classified for disposal under any appropriate law other than the 
Public Land Sale Act, if disposal under such other authority would be 
consistent with local comprehensive plans, or in the absence of such 
plans, with the views of local governmental authorities.
    (d) Where more than one form of disposal is possible, the authorized 
officer will select that course of action which will best promote 
development of the land for urban or suburban purposes.
