Summary
Requires a private nongovernmental entity, on the date that it files an application for a certificate, license, permit, or other authorization under a Federal eminent domain authorization statute, to make a good faith effort to notify by certified mail any person who is the owner of any interest in property which may be subject to the exercise of eminent domain under such statute.
