The primary string is lan. The applicant is Coffee Danger, LLC, whose listed website is identity.digital — Identity Digital being the registry operator that already runs several hundred gTLDs. Status: active, pre-evaluation. .lan is the domain your home router has been making up for a decade. It is not reserved by any RFC. It is simply what a very large number of consumer routers, NAS boxes and /etc/hosts files have been appending to local machine names, on the reasonable assumption that nobody would ever sell it.
