make either nonrefundable annual payments or nonrefundable payments for 

more than 1 year, as follows:

    (1) One-time payments. You may pay in advance the required rent 

amount for the entire term of the grant.

    (2) If you choose not to make a one-time payment, you must pay 

according to one of the following methods, as applicable:

    (i) Payments by individuals. If your annual rent is $100 or less, 

you must pay at 10-year intervals not to exceed the term of the grant. 

If your annual rent is greater than $100, you may pay annually or at 

multi-year intervals that you may choose.

    (ii) Payments by all others. You must pay rent in advance at ten-

year intervals not to exceed the term of the grant.

    (b) BLM considers the first partial calendar year in the rent 

payment period to be the first year of the rental payment term. BLM 

prorates the first year rental amount based on the number of months left 

in the calendar year after the effective date of the grant.
