To amend the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 to require 
the value of public benefits created by State and local governments and 
  nonprofit entities to be offset against the fee charged for certain 
                 rights-of-way held by those entities.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. RIGHT-OF-WAY CHARGE OFFSETS FOR PUBLIC BENEFITS AND 
              PROGRAMS.

    The first proviso of section 504(g) of the Federal Land Policy and 
Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1764(g)) is amended by inserting 
before ``Such rights-of-way issued at less than fair market value are 
not assignable except with the approval of the Secretary issuing the 
right-of-way.'' the following new sentence: ``The Secretary concerned 
shall reduce the charge for any right-of-way held by such Federal, 
State, or local government, agency, or instrumentality or by such 
nonprofit association or nonprofit corporation by the value of any such 
public benefit or program provided.''.
