Title: Rights-of-Way, Principles and Procedures; Rights-of-Way Under the Mineral Leasing Act; Linear Right-of-Way Rental Payment Schedule
Abstract: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes to amend its right-of-way regulations to update the linear right-of-way rent schedule. The rent schedule covers most linear rights-of-way granted under title V of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, as amended, and section 28 of the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended. Those laws require the holder of a right-of-way grant to pay annually, in advance, the fair market value to occupy, use, or traverse public lands for facilities such as power lines, fiber optic lines, pipelines, roads, and ditches. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the Act) directs the Secretary of the Interior to update the per acre rent schedule found.
