SUBCHAPTER V--RIGHTS-OF-WAY
Sec. 1763. Right-of-way corridors; criteria and procedures
applicable for designation
In order to minimize adverse environmental impacts and the
proliferation of separate rights-of-way, the utilization of rights-of-
way in common shall be required to the extent practical, and each right-
of-way or permit shall reserve to the Secretary concerned the right to
grant additional rights-of-way or permits for compatible uses on or
adjacent to rights-of-way granted pursuant to this Act. In designating
right-of-way corridors and in determining whether to require that
rights-of-way be confined to them, the Secretary concerned shall take
into consideration national and State land use policies, environmental
quality, economic efficiency, national security, safety, and good
engineering and technological practices. The Secretary concerned shall
issue regulations containing the criteria and procedures he will use in
designating such corridors. Any existing transportation and utility
corridors may be designated as transportation and utility corridors
pursuant to this subsection without further review.
