Sec.  2920.4  Notice of realty action.



    (a) A notice of realty action indicating the availability of public 

lands for non-Federal uses through lease, permit or easement shall be 

issued, published and sent to parties of interest by the authorized 

officer, including, but not limited to, adjoining land owners and 

current or past land users, when a determination has been made that such 

public lands are available for a particular use either through the 

submission of a public initiated proposal or through the land use 

planning process.

    (b) The notice shall include the use proposed for the public lands 

and shall notify the public that applications for a lease, permit or 

easement shall be considered. The notice shall specify the form of 

negotiation, whether by competitive or non-competitive bidding, under 

which the land use authorization shall be issued. A notice of realty 

action is not a specific action implementing a resource management plan 

or amendment.

    (c) The notice of realty action shall be published once in the 

Federal Register and once a week for 3 weeks thereafter in a newspaper 

of general circulation in the vicinity of the public lands included in 

the land use proposal.

    (d) An application submitted before a notice of realty action is 

published shall not be processed and shall be returned to the person who 

submitted it. Return of an application shall not be subject to appeal or 

protest.
