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

water, or place other limitations on the
use of natural resource; and
(4) Other reasonable stipulations we
may require as part of the consideration
for the moderate charge for land.
BLM issues patents under the Act that
convey a restricted title containing
provisions which, if not complied with,
may result in reversion of the title to the
United States. These provisions are:
(1) Nondiscrimination clauses
providing that the patentee may not
restrict or permit restriction on the use
of the lands conveyed or facilities
because of race, color, sex, age, religion,
or national origin;
(2) A provision that, if the patentee or
its successor in interest attempts to
transfer title or control over the land to
another or the land is devoted to a use
(without prior BLM consent) other than
for what it was conveyed, title will
revert to the United States;
(3) The patent must stipulate the
lands in perpetuity are used for the
purposes for which the lands are
acquired (the lease or patent may
stipulate that certain provisions of the
development plan, including the
management plan, may be subject to
review by the Secretary of the Interior
or his delegate); and
(4) All minerals are reserved to the
United States. After receiving the form,
the BLM will:
(1) Determine if the applicant’s
proposal conforms with land use
planning, review land status to
determine if the lands are subject to
application, and determine if the
application meets all requirements of
the law and regulations;
(2) Review the development and
management plans to determine
adequacy and effectiveness, and
evaluate the construction schedule and
estimated financing to ensure they are
realistic and practicable;
(3) Secure the views of other agencies
that have an interest in the lands,
including State and local planning and
zoning departments;
(4) Check for the presence of
unpatented mining claims (R&PP leases
and conveyances cannot be issued when
mineral claims are present) and, if
necessary to determine the validity of a
mining claim. The cost of the
determination will be the responsibility
of the applicant;
(5) Conduct a field examination and
other investigations to gather
information and data on the
environmental considerations and
proper classification of the lands;
(6) Publish a notice to solicit views
and comments from the public
concerning the proposal.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 5 CFR
1320.12(a) require that we provide a 60day notice in the Federal Register
concerning a collection of information
to solicit comments on:
(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
functioning of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of our estimates of
the information collection burden,

Under the General Mining Law (30
U.S.C. 29, 30, and 39), we grant the
opportunity to obtain legal title (patent)
to the land of those who explore for and
locate valuable mineral deposits on the
public domain lands. BLM implements
the patent process under regulations 43
CFR 3860. Under 43 CFR 3870, any rival
claimant with overlapping claims to the
land applied for or anyone challenging
BLM to issue the patent based on failure
to follow the law or regulations must
file with BLM certain required
statements and evidence supporting the
challenge or we will statutorily dismiss
the challenge. The implementing
regulations require a patent applicant to
provide the following information:
(1) Mineral survey application. Under
43 CFR Subpart 3861, the holder of a
claim must submit to BLM a mineral
survey for all lode claims, most mill
sites, and placer claims located upon
unsurveyed public lands, as a requisite
to apply for a patent. BLM uses Form
3860–5 to collect the mining claim or
site recording, chain-of-title, and
