OAR 734-055-0055: Other Agencies

(1) Nothing in this permit is intended to grant rights or imply approval in areas not falling within the authority and jurisdiction of the Oregon Department of Transportation. It is the responsibility of applicant to determine the need for and to obtain such licenses, permits or other form of approval which may be required by other state agencies, federal agencies, cities and/or counties of Oregon, utility companies or railroads. (2) If the section of highway covered by the permit is located within a National Forest, because the Department does not generally have any further rights across National Forest land other than an easement for highway purposes, the permit extends only to such rights as the Department has acquired and may therefore properly give. For National Forest lands where the facility constitutes a servitude on the property of the United States, in addition to the rights of the Department, a permit from the Forest Service must be obtained before a highway occupancy permit will be issued. Unless applicant has evidence satisfactory to the Engineer that the rights of the United States in any National Forest land crossed by the highway right-of-way will not be impaired by the facility covered by this permit, application for a permit should be made to the supervisor of the National Forest in which the facility is to be located.
