Section 2802.10 - What lands are available for grants?(a) In its discretion, BLM may grant rights-of-way on any lands under its jurisdiction except when:(1) A statute, regulation, or public land order specifically excludes rights-of-way;(2) The lands are specifically segregated or withdrawn from right-of-way uses; or(3) BLM identifies areas in its land use plans or in the analysis of an application as inappropriate for right-of-way uses.(b) BLM may require common use of a right-of-way and may require, to the extent practical, location of new rights-of-way within existing or designated right-of-way corridors (see§ 2802.11 of this subpart). Safety and other considerations may limit the extent to which you may share a right-of-way. BLM will designate right-of-way corridors through land use plan decisions.(c) You should contact the BLM to:(1) Determine the appropriate BLM office with which to coordinate;(2) Determine whether or not the land you want to use is available for that use; and(3) Begin discussions about any application(s) you may need to file.
