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:

1. Identify potential routing and other constraints;
2. Determine whether or not the lands are located within a designated or existing right-of-way corridor;
3. Tentatively schedule the processing of your proposed application; and
4. Inform you of your financial obligations, such as processing and monitoring costs and rents.
