  • The standard heading, “United States Department of the Interior,” will be centered at        8 ½ inches (21.59 cm), left to right in one line, and on the top line.  It will be in set in Times Roman, upper and lower case, 18-point font size, and positioned ¾ inch (1.905 cm) from the top of the page.
  • The subsequent line will be two spaces below the Department of the Interior heading.  It will contain the heading, “BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT.”  It will be set in Times Roman, upper case, centered, and in 12-point font size.
  • The following two lines will contain “Grand Junction, Colorado 81506,” and “http://www.blm.gov.”   Both lines will be set in Times Roman, upper and lower case, centered, and in 12-point font size.
  • The letterhead will be printed with blue ink, printed on 8 ½ by 11-inch recycled paper.
  • All existing stock of preprinted BLM letterhead should be exhausted before new letterhead is ordered.  On-demand laser printer-generated letterhead should be converted to the new standard immediately.
