SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Back to Top

On June 17, 2014, we published a proposed rule to comprehensively update and streamline the process for obtaining BIA grants of rights-of-way on Indian land. See 79 FR 34455. On August 18, 20145, we published an extension of the comment period, establishing a new comment deadline of October 2, 2014. We have received several requests for an additional extension of the comment period. On October 1, 2014, we released a press release notifying the public that we are extending the comment period again to allow additional time for tribal and public comment. While our intention was to extend the comment period before it closed, circumstances prevented this. For this reason, we will accept all comments received between June 17, 2014, and November 3, 2014, including any comment received between October 2, 2014, and October 8, 2014.

Please note that none of the following will be considered or included in the docket for this rulemaking: Comments received after November 3, 2014; comments sent to an address other than those listed above; or anonymous comments.

The proposed rule, frequently asked questions, and other information are online at: http://www.bia.gov/WhoWeAre/AS-IA/ORM/RightsofWay/index.htm.
