Can BLM process assignments in the State Office?
Yes, assignments can be processed at the State Office depending on the policy of each state. This requires the SO to review the case files involved, and to do the cost recovery Decision letter and the “Assignment Accepted” decision. Fees collected will be deposited into subactivity 5102 (unless the assignment request is covered in a Master Agreement or involves more than 50 hours of work), and fees collected should go to the office that does the work. All BLM staff working on the assignment should charge their time to 5102. Requests for multiple assignments may be received and processed for several offices within a single State, but may not be accepted for multiple States due to jurisdictional and fee issues. The method of processing mass assignments within a State, and the distribution of fees collected to process the assignment, should be determined by the individual State Offices.
