Sec.  3601.3  Authority.



    (a) BLM's authority to dispose of sand, gravel, and other mineral 

and vegetative materials that are not subject to mineral leasing or

1976 (FLPMA) (43 U.S.C. 1732) provides the general authority for BLM to 

manage the use, occupancy, and development of the public lands under the 

principles of multiple use and sustained yield in accordance with the 

land use plans that BLM develops under FLPMA.

    (c) Section 304 of FLPMA (43 U.S.C. 1734) and the Independent 

Offices Appropriation Act of 1952 (31 U.S.C. 9701) authorize the U.S. 

Government to collect fees and to require reimbursement of its costs.
