1. Within 15 days from receipt of an application for a Special Use Lease, Easement, Sale, Exchange, Modified Grazing Permit, or Materials Permit, the Trust Lands Administration shall conduct an initial evaluation of the application. Trust Lands Administration may refuse the application if it determines, in its sole discretion, that: (a) activities with higher priorities would be adversely impacted by processing the application; (b) an existing or planned application or activity on the parcel would be adversely impacted by processing the application; (c) an agency-initiated activity would be adversely impacted by processing the application; or (d) proceeding with the proposal would not be in the best interests of the trust land beneficiaries. 2. No fees shall be collected from the applicant prior to the above-referenced evaluation. If the Trust Lands Administration chooses to refuse the application, it shall notify the applicant in writing. If the Trust Lands Administration chooses to accept the application, it shall inform the applicant of any further information, material, deposits and fees which may be required in order to accept the application and commence processing. Failure to provide the requested items by the deadline established by the Trust Lands Administration may result in the application being rejected.
