[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 43, Volume 2] [Revised as of October 1, 2005] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 43CFR2932.21] [Page 319] TITLE 43--PUBLIC LANDS: INTERIOR CHAPTER II--BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR PART 2930_PERMITS FOR RECREATION ON PUBLIC LANDS--Table of Contents Subpart 2932_Special Recreation Permits for Commercial Use, Competitive Events, Organized Groups, and Recreation Use in Special Areas Sec. 2932.21 Why should I contact BLM before submitting an application? If you wish to apply for a Special Recreation Permit, we strongly urge you to contact the appropriate BLM office before submitting your application. You may need early consultation to become familiar with BLM practices and responsibilities, and the terms and conditions that we may require in a Special Recreation Permit. Because of the lead time involved in processing Special Recreation Permit applications, you should contact BLM in sufficient time to complete a permit application ahead of the 180 day requirement (see Sec. 2932.22(a)).
