Sec.  2884.20  What are the public notification requirements for my application?



    (a) When BLM receives your application, it will publish a notice in 

the Federal Register or a newspaper of general circulation in the 

vicinity of the lands involved. If BLM determines the pipeline(s) will 

have only minor environmental impacts, it is not required to publish 

this notice. The notice will, at a minimum, contain:

    (1) A description of the pipeline system; and

    (2) A statement of where the application and related documents are 

available for review.

    (b) BLM will send copies of the published notice for review and 

comment to the:

    (1) Governor of each state within which the pipeline system would be 

located;

    (2) Head of each local or tribal government or jurisdiction within 

which the pipeline system would be located; and

    (3) Heads of other Federal agencies whose jurisdiction includes 

lands within which the pipeline system would be located.

    (c) If your application involves a pipeline that is 24 inches or 

more in diameter, BLM will also send notice of the application to the 

appropriate committees of Congress in accordance with 30 U.S.C. 185(w).

    (d) BLM may hold public hearings or meetings on your application if 

we determine there is sufficient interest to warrant the time and 

expense of such hearings or meetings. BLM will publish a notice of any 

such hearings or meetings in advance in the Federal Register or in a 

newspaper of general circulation in the vicinity of the lands involved.
