                         TITLE 43--PUBLIC LANDS
 
             CHAPTER 35--FEDERAL LAND POLICY AND MANAGEMENT
 
                       SUBCHAPTER V--RIGHTS-OF-WAY
 
Sec. 1763. Right-of-way corridors; criteria and procedures 
        applicable for designation
        
    In order to minimize adverse environmental impacts and the 
proliferation of separate rights-of-way, the utilization of rights-of-
way in common shall be required to the extent practical, and each right-
of-way or permit shall reserve to the Secretary concerned the right to 
grant additional rights-of-way or permits for compatible uses on or 
adjacent to rights-of-way granted pursuant to this Act. In designating 
right-of-way corridors and in determining whether to require that 
rights-of-way be confined to them, the Secretary concerned shall take 
into consideration national and State land use policies, environmental 
quality, economic efficiency, national security, safety, and good 
engineering and technological practices. The Secretary concerned shall 
issue regulations containing the criteria and procedures he will use in 
designating such corridors. Any existing transportation and utility 
corridors may be designated as transportation and utility corridors 
pursuant to this subsection without further review.
