If the request for assignment involves more then one grant, does BLM apply a Category 1 fee to each ROW proposed for assignment, or to the group of ROWs?
BLM determines its fees based on the whole request, not to each ROW. If BLM estimates that it will take 30 hours to process an assignment request of 25 ROWs, the fee should be a Cat 3 ($665 for calendar year 2006), not 25 x $100. All of the time required to complete the assignment, by both State Office and Field Office personnel, is figured in for the processing category determination.
