<br />) <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />001025 <br /> <br />The segregation after classification is limited to the same two years dating from <br /> <br /> <br />the original notice. The segregation brought about by a proposed classification, <br /> <br /> <br />or the classification itsel~ may be continued beyond the two years if notice of <br /> <br /> <br />proposed continuance, including a statement of necessity, is submitted to the <br /> <br /> <br />President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House and published in the Federal <br /> <br /> <br />Register. <br /> <br /> <br />The above limitations on segregations apply specifically to those classes of <br /> <br /> <br />instances Which the Act requires be published in the Federal Register under <br /> <br /> <br />Section 2. That section requires the Secretary of the Interior to give public <br /> <br /> <br />notice in the Federal Register and in a newspaper of general distribution <br /> <br /> <br />in the vicinity of the affected lands before he (1) disposes of any tract in <br /> <br /> <br />excess of 2,560 acres under any statute, or (2) classifies any land in excess of <br /> <br /> <br />2,560 acres when such classification will exclude one or more of the uses listed <br /> <br /> <br />in section 1 of the Act. <br /> <br /> <br />The Classification and Multiple Use Act can be summed up as requiring the <br />Secretary of the Interior to develop criteria and conduct a review of public <br />lands under those criteria. Decisions affecting major blocks of public land, <br />however, must be matters of widespread public notice. <br />
