## Abstract

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is issuing a rule which allows BLM to approve right-of-way grants for pipelines 24 inches or more in diameter as soon as it notifies the appropriate congressional committees. This final rule avoids the possibility that BLM will issue a right-of-way grant in a way that violates our own rules.
