           Subpart 2806_Designation of Right-of-Way Corridors
 
Sec. 2806.1  Corridor designation.


    (a) The authorized officer may, based upon his/her motion or receipt 
of an application, designate right-of-way corridors across any public 
lands in order to minimize adverse environmental impacts and the 
proliferation of separate rights-of-way. The designation of corridors 
shall not preclude the granting of separate rights-of-way over, upon, 
under or through the public lands where the authorized officer 
determines that confinement to a corridor is not appropriate.
    (b) Any existing transportation and utility corridor that is capable 
of accommodating an additional compatible right-of-way may be designated 
as a right-of-way corridor by the authorized officer without further 
review as required in Sec. 2806.2 of this title. Subsequent right-of-
way grants shall, to the extent practical and as determined by the 
authorized officer, be confined to designated corridors, however, the 
designation of a right-of-way corridor is not a commitment by the 
authorized officer to issue right-of-way grants within the corridor. All 
applications for right-of-way grants, including those within designated 
corridors, are subject to the procedure for approval set forth in 
subpart 2802 of this title.
