All right of way transfers for federal-aid transportation projects involving Forest Service lands are accomplished using Highway Easement Deeds rather than Special Use Permits. This is in agreement with the FHWA and the USDA Forest Service. Procedures must be in agreement with memoranda issued by FHWA and furnished by the ROW Program Office.

If ROW PD cannot negotiate directly with the Forest Service, the land transfer request must be processed through FHWA if the highway is on the federal highway system or if the project is to be constructed using federal funds. Requirements for the application, maps, and property descriptions to be submitted to the ROW Program Office are included previously under the subsection.
