The Recreation and Public Purpose
Act (R&PP) of June 14, 1926, as
amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.),
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
to lease or convey certain public lands
to States and local government agencies,
and to qualified nonprofit corporations
and associations for recreational and
public purposes under specified
conditions. The term ‘‘public purpose’’
means providing facilities or services for
the benefit of the public in connection
with, but not limited to, public health,
safety, or welfare. We permit use of
lands or facilities for habitation,
cultivation, trade, or manufacturing
only when necessary for an integral to
the essential part of public purpose. 43
CFR part 2740 regulations provide
guidelines to lease or convey public
lands under the Act.
The Act applies to all public lands,
except lands within national forests,
national parks and monuments, national
wildlife refuges, Indian lands, and
acquired lands. We lease revested
Oregon and California Railroad grant
lands, and reconveyed Coos Bay Wagon
Road grant lands in western Oregon
only to State and Federal
instrumentalities, political subdivisions,
and to municipal corporations.
Lease periods may be for any length
of time, but must not exceed 20 years for
nonprofit entities and 25 years for
Federal, States and local governmental
entities. We issue leases subject to
appropriate environmental and legal
stipulations and leases must contain
provisions for compliance with:
(1) Nondiscrimination based on race,
color, sex, age, religion, or national
origin;
(2) An approved plan of management
and development upon which BLM
based the lease decision (we may cancel
a lease for nonuse or a use (without
prior BLM consent) other than for which
BLM issued the lease);
(3) The Federal Government may
reserve the standing timber, use of
