# §2886.10. When can I start activities under my grant or TUP?

- (a) **When you can start depends on the terms of your grant or TUP.** You can start activities when you receive the grant or TUP you and BLM signed, unless the grant or TUP includes a requirement for BLM to provide a written Notice to Proceed. If your grant or TUP contains a Notice to Proceed requirement, you may not initiate construction, operation, maintenance, or termination until BLM issues you a Notice to Proceed.
- (b) Before you begin operating your pipeline or related facility authorized by a grant or TUP, you must certify in writing to BLM that the pipeline system:
  - (1) Has been constructed and tested according to the terms of the grant or TUP; and
  - (2) **Is in compliance with all required plans, specifications, and Federal and state laws and regulations.**
