The basic steps for acquiring a permit by negotiation are as follows:
(a) The BIA or the Indian landowner will:
(1) Receive a request to permit from an Indian landowner or the potential permittee;
(2) Prepare the permit documents; and
(3) Grant the permit.
(b) A potential permittee will complete the requirements for securing a permit, (e.g., bond, insurance, payment of administrative fee, etc.);
(c) We will:
(1) Review the permit for proper documentation and compliance with all applicable laws and regulations;
(2) Approve the permit after our review;
(3) Send the approved permit to the permittee and, upon request, to the Indian landowner; and
(4) Record and maintain the approved permit.
