Sec. 3601.21  What rights does a person have under a materials sales 

contract or use permit?



    (a) Unless otherwise provided, if you are a purchaser under a sales 

contract or a free use permittee, you have the right to:

    (1) Extract, remove, process, and stockpile the material until the 

contract or permit terminates, regardless of any rights others acquire 

later under the provisions of the general land laws; and

    (2) Use and occupy the described lands to the extent necessary for 

fulfillment of the contract or permit.

    (b) Users of the lands covered by your materials sales contract or 

free use permit who acquire their rights later than the date BLM 

designated the tract for mineral materials disposal will be subject to 

your existing use authorization, as provided in Sec. 3602.12. This 

applies to uses due to any later settlement, location, lease, sale, or 

other appropriation under the general land laws, including the mineral 

leasing and mining laws.
