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