        Subpart 2885_Terms and Conditions of MLA Grants and TUPs

 

Sec.  2885.17  What happens if I pay the rent late?



    (a) If BLM does not receive the rent payment within 15 calendar days 

after the rent was due under Sec.  2885.16 of this subpart, BLM will 

charge you a late payment fee of $25.00 or 10 percent of the rent you 

owe, whichever is greater, not to exceed $500 per authorization.

    (b) If BLM does not receive your rent payment and late payment fee 

within 30 calendar days after rent was due, BLM may collect other 

administrative fees provided by statute.

    (c) If BLM does not receive your rent, late payment fee, and any 

administrative fees within 90 calendar days after the rent was due, BLM 

may terminate your grant under Sec.  2886.17 of this part and you may 

not remove any facility or equipment without BLM's written permission. 

The rent due, late payment fees, and any administrative fees remain a 

debt that you owe to the United States.

    (d) If you pay the rent, late payment fees, and any administrative 

fees after BLM has terminated the grant, BLM does not automatically 

reinstate the grant. You must file a new application with BLM. BLM will 

consider the history of your failure to timely pay rent in deciding 

whether to issue you a new grant.

    (e) You may appeal any adverse decision BLM takes against your grant 

or TUP under Sec.  2881.10 of this part.
