Pre- Application
Before filing an application with BLM, we encourage you to make an appointment for a pre-application meeting with the appropriate personnel in the BLM Field office having jurisdiction over the lands you seek to use.
Go to the Rights-of-Way Program Contacts Page to view information for the Rights-of-Way Contact for each State Office and to view all contacts.
During the pre-application meeting, BLM can:
- Identify potential routing and other constraints;
- Determine whether or not the lands are located within a designated or existing right-of-way corridor;
- Tentatively schedule the processing of your proposed application; and
- Inform you of your financial obligations, such as processing and monitoring costs and rents.
