# §2806.13. What happens if I do not pay rents and fees or if I pay the rents or fees late?

- (a) If the BLM does not receive the rent or fee payment required in [subpart 2806](/cfr/43/subpart2806.md) within 15 calendar days after the payment was due under [§ 2806.12](/cfr/43/2806.12.md), we will charge you a late payment fee of $25 or 10 percent of the amount you owe, whichever is greater, per authorization.
- (b) If BLM does not receive your rent payment and late payment fee within 30 calendar days after rent was due, BLM may collect other administrative fees provided by statute.
- (c) If BLM does not receive your rent, late payment fee, and any administrative fees within 90 calendar days after the rent was due, BLM may terminate your grant under [§ 2807.17](/cfr/43/2807.17.md) of this part and you may not remove any facility or equipment without BLM's written permission (see [§ 2807.19](/cfr/43/2807.19.md) of this part). The rent due, late payment fees, and any administrative fees remain a debt that you owe to the United States.
- (d) If you pay the rent, late payment fee, and any administrative fees after BLM has terminated the grant, BLM does not automatically reinstate the grant. You must file a new application with BLM. BLM will consider the history of your failure to timely pay rent in deciding whether to issue you a new grant.
- (e) Subject to applicable laws and regulations, the BLM will retroactively bill for uncollected or under-collected rent, fees, and late payments.
- (f) You may appeal any adverse decision BLM takes against your grant under [§ 2801.10](/cfr/43/2801.10.md) of this part.
- (g) We will not approve any further activities associated with your right-of-way until we receive any outstanding payments that are due.
- (h) You must pay rent even if you have not been sent or received a courtesy bill.
