# §169.202. Under what circumstances will a grant of right-of-way be renewed?


A renewal is an extension of term of an existing right-of-way without any other change.

- (a) The grantee may request a renewal of an existing right-of-way grant and we will renew the grant as long as:
  - (1) The initial term and renewal terms, together, do not exceed the maximum term determined to be reasonable under [§ 169.201](/cfr/25/169.201.md);
  - (2) The existing right-of-way grant explicitly allows for automatic renewal or an option to renew and specifies compensation owed to the landowners upon renewal or how compensation will be determined;
  - (3) The grantee provides us with a signed affidavit that there is no change in size, type, or location, of the right-of-way;
  - (4) The initial term has not yet ended;
  - (5) No uncured violation exists regarding the regulations in this part or the grant's conditions or restrictions; and
  - (6) The grantee provides confirmation that landowner consent has been obtained, or if consent is not required because the original right-of-way grant explicitly allows for renewal without the owners' consent, the grantee provides notice to the landowners of the renewal.
- (b) We will record any renewal of a right-of-way grant in the LTRO.
- (c) If the proposed renewal involves any change to the original grant or the original grant was silent as to renewals, the grantee must reapply for a new right-of-way, in accordance with [§ 169.101](/cfr/25/169.101.md), and we will handle the application for renewal as an original application for a right-of-way.
