Does the rule allow for long-term right-of-way grants?
Yes. Under certain limited circumstances BLM may issue grants and easements in perpetuity. For example, a perpetual grant or easement may be necessary for BLM to protect the rights of grant holders when we dispose of Federal land encumbered by a right-of-way grant. We may also need to issue a perpetual grant in circumstances when holders must comply with local land use ordinances that may require a perpetual right in order to develop private property interests.
