Sec. 2920.2-1  Discussion of proposals.

    (a) Suggestions by land use proponent. Any person who seeks to use 
public lands may contact the Bureau of Land Management office having 
jurisdiction over the public lands in question and discuss the land use 
proposal. This contact should be made as early as possible so that 
administrative requirements and potential conflicts with other land uses 
can be identified.
    (b) Response by the authorized officer. The authorized officer will 
discuss with the land use proponent whether the requested land use, 
suitability or non-suitability of the requested land use based on a 
preliminary examination of existing land use plans, where available, is 
or is not in conformance with Bureau of Land Management policies

and programs for the lands, local zoning ordinances and any other 
pertinent information. The authorized officer will discuss 
administrative requirements for the type of land use authorization which 
may be granted (lease, permit or easement), including, but not limited 
to: additional information which may be required; qualifications; cost 
reimbursement requirements; associated clearances, other permits or 
licenses which may be required; environmental and management 
considerations; and special requirements such as competitive bidding and 
identification of on-the-ground investigations which may be required in 
order to issue a land use authorization.
