The Secretary of Agriculture can grant permanent or temporary easements for road rights-of-way. This applies to national forest lands and other Forest Service lands. It also applies to related lands where the Department has rights under a land grant.

The Secretary of Agriculture may grant easements for road rights-of-way, following whatever regulations the Secretary sets. These easements can be permanent, or temporary for a set period of time. This power covers two kinds of land: (1) national forest land and other land the Forest Service manages, and (2) other related land where the Department of Agriculture has rights because of the terms of the grant that gave it that land. This power is also subject to sections 532 to 538 of this title, which set other rules for these easements.
