Sec.  2884.15  What is a Master Agreement (Processing Category 5) and what information must I provide to BLM when I request one?



    (a) A Master Agreement (Processing Category 5) is a written 

agreement covering processing and monitoring fees (see Sec.  2885.23 of 

this part) negotiated between BLM and you that involves multiple BLM 

grant or TUP approvals for projects within a defined geographic area.

    (b) Your request for a Master Agreement must:

    (1) Describe the geographic area covered by the Agreement and the 

scope of the activity you plan;

    (2) Include a preliminary work plan. This plan must state what work 

you must do and what work BLM must do to process your application. Both 

parties must periodically update the work plan, as specified in the 

Agreement, and mutually agree to the changes;

    (3) Contain a preliminary cost estimate and a timetable for 

processing the application and completing the project;

    (4) State whether you want the Agreement to apply to future 

applications in the same geographic area that are not part of the same 

project(s); and

    (5) Contain any other relevant information that BLM needs to process 

the application.
