                Subpart 3503_Areas Available for Leasing

 

Sec.  3503.20  What if another Federal agency manages the lands I am interested in?



    (a) Public domain lands. BLM will issue a permit or lease for public 

domain lands where the surface is administered by another Federal agency 

only after consulting with the surface management agency. Some laws 

applicable to public domain lands require us to obtain the consent of 

the surface management agency before we issue a lease or permit.

    (b) Acquired lands. For all lands not subject to paragraph (a) of 

this section where the surface is managed by another Federal agency, we 

must have written consent from the surface management agency before we 

issue permits or leases. The surface management agency may request 

further information about surface disturbance and reclamation before 

granting its consent.

    (c) Appeal. If a surface management agency refuses to consent or 

imposes conditions on your permit or lease, you may appeal its decision 

under that agency's appeal provisions. If you notify BLM within 30 days 

after receiving BLM's decision denying or conditioning your permit or 

lease that you have appealed the surface management agency's decision, 

we will suspend the time for filing an appeal under 43 CFR parts 4 and 

1840 until the surface management agency's decision is final and not 

subject to further administrative or judicial review.
