STANDARD STIPULATIONS
1. All applicable regulations in accordance with 43 CFR 2800.
2. All regulations in the circulars specified in the categorical exclusion document.
3. In the event that the public land underlying the right-of-way (ROW) encompassed in this
permit or a portion thereof, is conveyed out of Federal ownership and administration of
the ROW or the land underlying the ROW is not being reserved to the United States (US)
in the patent/deed and/or the ROW is not within a ROW corridor being reserved to the
US in the patent/deed, the US waives any right it has to administer the ROW, or portion
thereof, within the conveyed land under Federal laws, statutes, and regulations, including
the regulations at 43 CFR Part (2800)(2880), including any rights to have the holder
apply to Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for amendments, modifications, or
assignments and for BLM to approve or recognize such amendments, modifications, or
assignments. At the time of conveyance, the patentee/grantee, and their successors and
assigns, shall succeed to the interests of the US in all matters relating to the ROW, or
portion thereof, within the conveyed land and shall be subject to applicable State and
local government laws, statutes, and ordinances. After conveyance, any disputes
concerning compliance with the use and the terms and conditions of the ROW shall be
considered a civil matter between the patentee/grantee and the ROW holder.
4. Any cultural and/or paleontological resource (historic or prehistoric site or object)
discovered by the holder, or any person working on his behalf, on public or federal land
shall be immediately reported to the Authorized Officer (AO). Holder shall suspend all
operations in the immediate area of such discovery until written authorization to proceed
is issued by the AO. An evaluation of the discovery will be made by the AO to
determine appropriate actions to prevent the loss of significant cultural or scientific
values. The holder will be responsible for the cost of evaluation and any decision as to
proper mitigation measures will be made by the AO after consulting with the holder.
5. Migratory birds (protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act) may nest on
communications facilities. Under the act, it is unlawful to pursue, hunt, take, capture (or
kill) a migratory bird. Take can include destruction of eggs or active nests. To prevent
take of migratory birds, ensure that no active nests, or eggs therein, are destroyed while
carrying out this project.
6. It is against State law to collect desert tortoise from the wild. If tortoises are found in the
project area, they shall be removed from the area and released, in the shade, unharmed.
(When moving a tortoise, approach the tortoise from the end of the shell with the head.
Note the direction the tortoise was heading and carefully carry it no more than 150 feet
and release it in the direction that it was heading. If possible place the tortoise in the
shade. Carry the tortoise upright, in its normal walking position. Do not tip it from side
to side or upside down. If a tortoise becomes frightened, it may empty its bladder as a

defense mechanism. The loss of bladder fluids can place the tortoise under additional
stress because tortoise store water in the bladder for use during the dry times of year.)
7. The holder shall take measures necessary to eliminate interference to other site users
caused by holder's sublessee(s). If the holder does not eliminate such interference within
10 days of receipt of notice from the AO, the operations of the sublessee causing the
interference, as determined by the AO, shall be terminated by the holder.
8. The holder shall at all times operate its radio-electronic equipment in such a manner so as
not to cause interference with radio-electronic operations of existing users in the vicinity.
If such interference results from holder's operations, holder will promptly, at its own
expense, modify the equipment and operations, or shut down if necessary to eliminate or
reduce the interference to the satisfaction of the Federal Communications Commission
and/or the AO.
9. It will be the responsibility of the holder to ascertain whether existing facilities on the
same or adjoining sites will adversely affect the proposed operations. Holder will accept
operations, i.e., frequencies, emissions, power output, radiation fields, antenna arrays,
etc., of existing facilities on the same or adjoining sites, provided such operations are
consistent with the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission, if a non-
Federal Government use, and the Standards of the Interdepartmental Radio Advisory
Committee, if a Federal Government use.
10. On February 24, 1994, the 'Site Users Association' for this communication site was
established. The holder shall provide the AO with evidence of membership. Failure of
the holder to join the 'Site Users' Association' and remain a member in good standing
shall constitute sufficient grounds for termination of this lease.

White Tanks Phoenix Field Office", dated August 12, 2005.

their entirety.
