§2804.10. What should I do before I file my application?
43 C.F.R. § 2804.10
Before filing an application with BLM, we encourage you to make an appointment for a preapplication meeting with the appropriate personnel in the BLM field office having jurisdiction over the lands you seek to use. During the preapplication meeting, BLM can:
Identify potential routing and other constraints;
Determine whether the lands are located inside a designated or existing right-of-way corridor or a designated leasing area;
Tentatively schedule the processing of your proposed application; and
Inform you of your financial obligations, such as processing and monitoring costs and rents.
Subject to § 2804.13 of this subpart, BLM may share any information you provide under paragraph (a) of this section with Federal, state, tribal, and local government agencies to ensure that:
These agencies are aware of any authorizations you may need from them; and
We initiate effective coordinated planning as soon as possible.
