§ 2807.15   How is grant administration affected if the land my grant encumbers is transferred to another Federal agency or out of Federal ownership?

(a) If there is a proposal to transfer the land your grant encumbers to another Federal agency, BLM may, after reasonable notice to you, transfer administration of your grant for the lands BLM formerly administered to another Federal agency, unless doing so would diminish your rights. If BLM determines your rights would be diminished by such a transfer, BLM can still transfer the land, but retain administration of your grant under existing terms and conditions.

(b) If there is a proposal to transfer the land your grant encumbers out of Federal ownership, BLM may, after reasonable notice to you and in conformance with existing policies and procedures:

(1) Transfer the land subject to your grant. In this case, administration of your grant for the lands BLM formerly administered is transferred to the new owner of the land;

(2) Transfer the land, but BLM retains administration of your grant; or

(3) Reserve to the United States the land your grant encumbers, and BLM retains administration of your grant.

(c) BLM or, if BLM no longer administers the land, the new land owner may negotiate new grant terms and conditions with you. This may include increasing the term of your grant, should you request it, to a perpetual grant under §2806.23(c) of this part or providing for an easement.
