51. Rights-of-Way for Pipelines Through Federal Lands 



30 U.S.C. 185 



flS.'). Uidhts-of-way for pipelines through Federal 

 lands. 



(a) Grant of aiilhorily. 



Rights-of-way through any Federal lands may be 

 granted by the Secretary of the Interior or appropri- 

 ate agency head for pipeline purposes for the trans- 

 portation of oil, natural gas, synthetic liquid or gas- 

 eous fuels, or any refined product produced there- 

 from to any applicant possessing the qualifications 

 provided in section 181 of this title in accordance 

 with the provisions of this section. 



(b) Definitions. 



' 1 1 For the purposes of this section "Federal 

 lands" means all lands owned by the tJnited States 

 except lands in the National Park System, lands held 

 in trust for an Indian or Indian tribe, and lands on 

 the Outer Continental Shelf. A right-of-way through 

 a Federal reservation shall not be granted if the Sec- 

 retary or agency head determines that it would be 

 inconsistent with the purposes of the reservation. 



1 2) "Secretary" means the Secretary of the Inte- 

 rior. 



<3^ "Agency head" means the head of any Fed- 

 eral department or independent Federal office or 

 agency, other than the Secretary of the Interior, 

 which has jurisdiction over Federal lands. 



(c) Inter-ajiency coordination. 



(P Where the surface of all of the Federal lands 

 involved in a proposed right-of-way or permit is 

 under the jurisdiction of one Federal agency, the 

 agency head, rather than the Secretary, is authorized 

 to grant or renew the right-of-way or permit for the 

 purposes set forth in this section. 



(2) Where the surface of the Federal lands in- 

 volved is administered by the Secretary or by two or 

 more Federal agencies, the Secretary is authorized, 

 after consultation with the agencies involved, to 

 grant or renew rights-of-way or permits through the 

 Federal lands involved. The Secretary may enter 

 into interagency agreements with all other Federal 

 agencies having jurisdiction over Federal lands for 

 the purpose of avoiding duplication, assigning re- 

 sponsibility, expediting review of rights-of-way or 

 permit applications, issuing joint regulations, and 

 assuring a decision based upon a comprehensive re- 



view of all factors involved in any right-of-way or 

 permit application. Each agency head shall admin- 

 ister and enforce the provisions of this section, ap- 

 propriate regulations, and the terms and conditions 

 of rights-of-way or permits insofar as they involve 

 Federal lands under the agency head's jurisdiction. 



(d) Width limitations. 



The width of a right-of-way shall not exceed fifty 

 feet plus the ground occupied by the pipeline (that is, 

 the pipe and its related facilities) unless the Secre- 

 tary or agency head finds, and records the reasons 

 for his finding, that in his judgment a wider right- 

 of-way is necessary for operation and maintenance 

 after construction, or to protect the environment or 

 public safety. Related facilities include but are not 

 limited to valves, pump stations, supporting struc- 

 tures, bridges, monitoring and communication de- 

 vices, surge and storage tanks, terminals, roads, air- 

 strips and campsites and they need not necessarily be 

 connected or contiguous to the pipe and may be the 

 subjects of separate rights-of-way. 



(e) Temporary permits. 



A right-of-way may be supplemented by such 

 temporary permits for the use of Federal lands in the 

 vicinity of the pipeline as the Secretary or agency 

 head finds are necessary in connection with con- 

 struction, operation, maintenance, or termination of 

 the pipeline, or to protect the natural environment 

 or public safety. 



(f) IJeRulalory authority. 



Rights-of-way or permits granted or renewed pur- 

 suant to this section shall be subject to regulations 

 promulgated in accord with the provisions of this 

 section and shall be subject to such terms and con- 

 ditions as the Secretary or agency head may pre- 

 scribe regarding extent, duration, survey, location, 

 construction, operation, maintenance use and ter- 

 mination. 



(k) Pipeline safety. 



The Secretary or agency head shall impose re- 

 quirements for the operation of the pipeline and re- 

 lated facilities in a manner that will protect the 

 safety of workers and protect the public from sud- 

 den ruptures and slow degradation of the pipeline.
