  1. (a)In its discretion, BLM may grant rights-of-way on any lands under its jurisdiction except when:
    1. (1)A statute, regulation, or public land order specifically excludes rights-of-way;
    2. (2)The lands are specifically segregated or withdrawn from right-of-way uses; or
    3. (3)BLM identifies areas in its land use plans or in the analysis of an application as inappropriate for right-of-way uses.
  2. (b)BLM may require common use of a right-of-way and may require, to the extent practical, location of new rights-of-way within existing or designated right-of-way corridors (see § 2802.11 of this subpart). Safety and other considerations may limit the extent to which you may share a right-of-way. BLM will designate right-of-way corridors through land use plan decisions.
  3. (c)You should contact the BLM to:
    1. (1)Determine the appropriate BLM office with which to coordinate;
    2. (2)Determine whether or not the land you want to use is available for that use; and
    3. (3)Begin discussions about any application(s) you may need to file.
