# §2862.11. How does the BLM designate communications sites and establish communications site management plans?

- (a) The BLM may determine the location and boundaries of communications sites. When establishing a communications site, the BLM coordinates with other Federal agencies, State, local, and Tribal governments, and the public to identify resource-related issues, concerns, and needs.
- (b) When determining which lands may be suitable for communications sites, the BLM will consider all factors described in [§ 2802.11(b)](/cfr/43/2802.11.md?p=b). Additional factors the BLM will consider include, but are not limited to, access to the site, existing infrastructure, signal coverage, available space, and industry demand.
- (c) The BLM may establish a communications site management plan to guide the development of communications uses at the site. The plans describe the types of communications uses that are permitted to operate at a communications site.
