Update of Linear Right-of-Way Rent Schedule

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Proposed Rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes to amend its 
right-of-way regulations to update the linear right-of-way rent 
schedule in 43 CFR parts 2800 and 2880. 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 (FLPMA), and Section 28 of the 
Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (MLA). 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.
    Section 367 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the Act) directs the 
Secretary of the Interior to update the per acre rent schedule found in 
43 CFR 2806.20. The Act requires that the BLM revise the per acre 
rental fee zone value schedule by state, county, and type of linear 
right-of-way use to reflect current land values in each zone. The Act 
also requires the Secretary of Agriculture (Forest Service) to make the 
same revisions for rights-of-way on National Forest System (NFS) lands.

DATES: We will accept comments and suggestions on the proposed rule 
until February 11, 2008.

Interagency Coordination

    The United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (FS), 
will adopt without rulemaking the revisions to the linear right-of-way 
rent schedule promulgated by BLM through this rulemaking. The rent for 
a linear right-of-way across NFS lands must be determined in accordance 
with BLM regulations at 43 CFR 2806.20, as updated through this 
rulemaking. None of the other sections in 43 CFR subpart 2806 apply to 
the FS's right-of-way program, and any revisions made to that subpart 
through this rulemaking do not apply to the FS's right-of-way program.

II. Background

    Statutory: Section 367 of the Act, entitled ``Fair Market Value 
Determinations for Linear Rights-of-Way Across Public Lands and 
National Forests,'' directs the Secretary of the Interior to: (1) 
Update 43 CFR 2806.20, which contains the per acre rent schedule for 
linear rights-of-way; and (2) Revise the per acre rental fee zone value 
schedule by state, county, and type of linear right-of-way uses to 
reflect current values of land in each zone. The Act also directs the 
Secretary of Agriculture to adopt the revisions to the linear right-of-
way rent schedule.
    Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: The BLM published an advance 
notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) in the Federal Register on April 
27, 2006 (see 71 FR 24836). The comment period for the ANPR ended on 
May 30, 2006. The purpose of the ANPR was to encourage members of the 
public to provide comments and suggestions to help with updating the 
BLM's and the FS's rent schedule, as described in the Act. The BLM 
received ten responses to the ANPR, including comments on six specific 
questions posed there. The BLM has utilized the comments received from 
the ANPR extensively in the development of the proposed rule (see 
discussion of the proposed rule in Section III. below).
    Current Linear Rent Schedule: On July 8, 1987, and September 30, 
1987, the BLM published regulations establishing rent schedules for 
linear rights-of-way

[[Page 70377]]

granted under Section 28 of the MLA and Title V of FLPMA (52 FR 25818 
and 52 FR 36576). The FS uses these same schedules to charge rent for 
rights-of-way across NFS lands. Therefore, updates to these schedules 
would also impact the FS and users of NFS lands.
    The 1987 rent schedule was developed to set fair market rent, while 
minimizing the need for individual real estate appraisals for each 
right-of-way requiring rent payments, as well as to avoid the costs, 
delays, and unpredictability of the appraisal process in reasonably 
setting fair market rent.
    The 1987 rent schedule defines eight fee zones based on the 
distribution of average land values by county in Puerto Rico and in 
each of the states, except Alaska and Hawaii. (The existing rent 
schedule does not apply to Alaska and Hawaii; the proposed schedule 
would. Linear right-of-way rental fees in Alaska are currently 
determined on a case-by-case basis based on local market values. There 
are no linear rights-of-way in Hawaii currently administered by either 
the BLM or the FS). Under the 1987 regulations, a county is assigned to 
one of the eight zone values, based on land values in the county: 
lower-value counties are assigned lower-numbered zones. The eight zone 
values are set at $50, $100, $200, $300, $400, $500, $600, and $1,000 
per acre. A county's zone value is translated into a per acre zone rent 
by use of the adjustment formula described below. To calculate the 
annual right-of-way rental payment, the zone rent is multiplied by the 
total acreage within the right-of-way. The formula for zone rent is:
    Zone rent = (zone value) x (impact adjustment) x (Treasury Security 
Rate)
    The zone value term in the formula is the land value that is 
established for each of the eight zones. The zone values established in 
1987 have not been updated since that time; however, it is generally 
recognized that land values have increased in most areas over the past 
20 years.
    The impact adjustment term (or encumbrance factor) in the formula 
reflects the differences in land-use impacts between: (1) Oil, gas, and 
other energy-related pipelines, roads, ditches, and canals; and (2) 
Electrical transmission and distribution lines, telephone lines, and 
non-energy related pipelines. Energy-related pipelines and roads are 
considered as having a greater surface disturbance impact on the land, 
and are adjusted to 80 percent of the zone value. Electrical 
transmission and distribution lines, phone lines, and non-energy 
related pipelines with a smaller area of disturbance, are adjusted to 
70 percent of the zone value.
    The Treasury Security term in the formula reflects a reasonable 
rate of return to the United States for the use of the land within the 
right-of-way. The 1987 regulations are based on a rate of return of 
6.41 percent for a 1-year Treasury Security.
    The zone rent is adjusted annually by the change in the Gross 
Domestic Product, Implicit Price Deflator index.

BLM Right-of-Way Program and Revenues

    The BLM administers 94,500 rights-of-way, of which 65,000 are 
authorized under the FLPMA and 29,500 are authorized under the MLA. 
However, only 48,000 are subject to a rental payment. Wyoming and New 
Mexico together account for slightly more than 30,000 of the rights-of-
way subject to rent. The BLM collected over $18 million in right-of-way 
rental receipts for fiscal year 2006. This total includes receipts from 
both linear and site-type rights-of-way, and includes any reversals 
and/or transfers which may have occurred during the fiscal year. 
Seventy-eight percent of all right-of-way rent receipts were collected 
by five BLM State Offices. These five State Offices and the revenues 
collected are listed in Table 1.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rent receipts from communication uses, which have their own rent 
schedule, totaled nearly $5 million, while receipts from other site-
type rights-of-way, which normally require an appraisal to determine 
rent, and/or initial ad hoc billings, totaled approximately $7 million.
    The BLM collected $6.3 million total rent for 10,859 linear rights-
of-ways, but only $5.4 million was determined using the current Per 
Acre Rent Schedule in fiscal year 2006. Of this amount, only 94 bills 
(for $12,600) were for rent payment periods less than 1 year, while 
4,534 bills (for $4,340,000) were issued for annual rental payment 
periods. The annual rental bills included 81 bills that were issued for 
approximately $920,000 for linear rights-of-way located in high value 
areas. The rent for these bills was generated using a similar 
methodology as the linear rent schedule, but utilizing higher land 
values supported by appraisal data (used to develop ``unique zones'' 
with annual per acre rent values ranging from $280 to $6,000). The 
average annual rent bill, including the 81 bills using the ``unique 
zone'' values, equaled $957. Another 4,600 bills were issued for 
$569,750, covering a 5-year rent payment period. The average 5-year 
bill totaled $124, or less than $25 on an annual basis. A total of 
$1,210,300 was billed for rent payment periods between 6 and 30 years.
    To summarize, in fiscal year 2006 the BLM collected a total of $18 
million in right-of-way rent receipts, but of that only $5.4 million 
was calculated using the current Per Acre Rent Schedule. Another 
$900,000 was calculated using similar methodology as the Per Acre Rent 
Schedule, but utilized higher land values (unique zones) supported by 
appraisal data. In addition, over half of all bills generated for 
linear right-of-way grants in fiscal year 2006 were for multi-year 
periods of 5 years or more.
    Under the current policy for implementing the 2005 right-of-way 
regulations (see 70 FR 20969) (hereafter referred to as the 2005 
regulations), holders have the option, until January 2009, to pay rent 
annually, for 5 years, 10 years, or for the term of the grant. The BLM 
established this policy (see Washington Office Information Bulletin 
2006-006) to provide holders a transition period from annual and 5-year 
billing periods (under the 1987 regulations) to a minimum 10-year 
billing period under the 2005 regulations. Because the BLM can bill for 
multi-year periods, except for communication uses, only about 20 to 25 
percent of the total grants subject to rent are billed in any given 
year. The average annual rental bill in 2006, for 4,450 bills issued 
for linear grants subject to the linear rent schedule, was 
approximately $773. However, the average rental amount for 4,600 bills 
that were for a 5-year period was only $124, or less than $25 per year. 
In comparison, the average annual bill for the 81 authorizations 
determined by ``unique zone'' land values was $11,400.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

Part 2800 Rights-of-Way Under FLPMA

    The BLM is proposing to amend the Per Acre Rent Schedule in its 
right-of-way regulations at 43 CFR parts 2800 and 2880. The rent 
schedule covers most linear rights-of-way granted under Title V of 
FLPMA and Section 28 of the MLA. These laws require the holder of

[[Page 70378]]

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.
    As mentioned above, the Act directs the Secretary of the Interior 
to update the per acre rent schedule in the BLM's existing regulations 
at 43 CFR 2806.20. The Act specifically requires that the BLM revise 
the per acre rental fee zone value schedule by state, county, and type 
of linear right-of-way use to reflect current land values in each zone. 
The Per Acre Rent Schedule applies to linear rights-of-way the BLM 
issues under 43 CFR parts 2800 and 2880. All of these changes are a 
direct requirement of the statute. So as not to be redundant, we 
discuss the components and application of the rent schedule primarily 
in part 2800 and will not repeat those discussions in part 2880. 
However, we will note any differences in part 2880 that are necessary 
based upon specific statutory provisions of the MLA.
    In addition to revising the Per Acre Rent Schedule, the proposed 
rule would make minor revisions to parts 2800 and 2880 to bring the 
existing regulations into compliance with the statutory rent schedule 
changes discussed above. Finally, there are a number of minor 
corrections and changes in the proposed rule that are not directly 
related to the rent schedule.
    These proposed changes are limited in scope and address trespass 
and the new rental payments, land status changes, annual rental 
payments, phased-in rental increases, and reimbursements of monitoring 
costs and processing fees. These latter items would correct some 
existing errors in the current regulations and clarify others. This 
proposed rule would:
    (1) Make clear that the rent exemptions listed in section 2806.14 
do not apply if the applicant/holder is in trespass;
    (2) Provide that only the Per Acre Rent Schedule will be used to 
determine rent for linear right-of-way grants, unless the land 
encumbered by the grant is to be transferred out of Federal ownership;
    (3) Provide for an annual rent payment term when the annual rent 
for non-individuals is $1,000 or more;
    (4) Provide for a one-time rent payment for grants and easements 
when the land encumbered by the grant or easement is to be transferred 
out of Federal ownership;
    (5) Provide for a limited one-time, 2-year phrase-in period for 
holders of MLA authorizations if they pay rent annually and the payment 
of the new rental amount would cause the holder undue hardship;
    (6) Revise section 2920.6 to require reimbursement of processing 
and monitoring costs under sections 2804.14 and 2805.16 for 
applications for leases and permits issued under Title II of FLPMA;
    (7) Amend section 2920.8(b) to assess a non-refundable processing 
fee and monitoring fee under sections 2804.14 and 2805.16 for each 
request for renewal, transfer, or assignment of a lease or easement;
    (8) Amend sections 2805.11(b)(2) and 2885.11(a) so that all grants, 
except those issued for a term of 3 years or less and those issued in 
perpetuity under FLPMA, terminate on December 31 of the final year of 
the grant; and
    (9) Amend sections 2805.14(f) and 2885.12(e) to make it clear that 
you may assign your grant, without the BLM's prior written approval, if 
your authorization so provides.

Subpart 2805--Terms and Conditions of Grants

    The BLM is proposing two minor revisions to two sections in subpart 
2805, which addresses the terms and conditions of FLPMA right-of-way 
authorizations.

Section 2805.11 What does a grant contain?

    Current section 2805.11(b)(2) states that all grants, except those 
issued for a term of less than 1 year and those issued in perpetuity, 
expire on December 31 of the final year of the grant. The BLM uses the 
calendar year, not the fiscal year or the anniversary date, as the 
rental period for grants. Terminating grants on December 31 allows for 
consistency and ease of administration, because after the initial 
billing period only full calendar years are included in subsequent 
billing periods. However, the BLM often issues short-term right-of-way 
grants for 3 years or less to allow the holder to conduct temporary 
activities on public land. Current section 2806.23(b) and proposed 
section 2806.25(c) both explain that the BLM considers the first 
partial calendar year in the rent payment period to be the first year 
of the rental term. Therefore, a 3-year grant actually has a term 
period of 2 years plus the time period remaining in the calendar year 
of issuance. A 2-year grant has a term period of 1 year plus the time 
period remaining in the calendar year of issuance. Depending on when 
the grant is issued, the actual term could be just over 2 years for a 
3-year grant and could be just over 1year for a 2-year grant. Under the 
proposed rule, all grants, except those issued for a term of 3 years or 
less and those issued in perpetuity, would terminate on December 31 of 
the final year of the grant. The proposed changes to this section would 
allow the holder to use short-term grants for the full period of the 
grant. For example, if a 3-year grant were issued under the proposed 
rule on October 1, 2008, it would terminate on September 30, 2011, 
instead of December 31, 2010, under the current rule. If a 2-year grant 
were issued under the proposed rule on October 1, 2008, it would 
terminate on September 30, 2010, instead of December 31, 2009, under 
the current rule. In most cases, the BLM would assess a one-time rental 
bill for the term of the grant which would lessen any administrative 
impact which might otherwise result from this revision.

Section 2805.14 What rights does a grant convey?

    Current section 2805.14(f) states that you have a right to assign 
your grant to another, provided that you obtain the BLM's prior written 
approval. The BLM is proposing to add the phrase ``unless your grant 
specifically states that such approval is unnecessary'' at the end of 
this sentence to indicate that BLM's prior written approval may be 
unnecessary in certain cases. In most cases, assignments would continue 
to be subject to the BLM's written approval. However, with the proposed 
change, the BLM could amend existing grants to allow future assignments 
without the BLM's prior written approval. This may be especially 
important to the future administration of a grant when the land 
encumbered by a grant is being transferred out of Federal ownership, 
and there is a request to convert an existing grant to an easement or a 
perpetual grant under section 2807.15(c).

Subpart 2806--Rents

    Sections 2806.10 through 2806.16 of subpart 2806 contain general 
rent provisions that apply to grants. No changes are proposed to these 
general provisions except to section 2806.14.

Section 2806.14 Under what circumstances am I exempt from paying rent?

    Current section 2806.14 identifies those circumstances where a 
holder or facility is exempt from paying rent. None of the current 
circumstances change under the proposed rule. We have, however, added a 
provision (proposed section 2806.14(b)) that states that the exemptions 
in this section do not apply if you are in trespass. The addition of 
this provision makes it clear that the penalties specified in subpart

[[Page 70379]]

2808--Trespass, which includes the assessment of rent for use of the 
public land, and possible additional penalties which are based upon the 
rent value, apply to all entities in trespass, even those entities that 
may otherwise be exempt from paying rent under section 2806.14. This is 
consistent with how trespass penalties are assessed under current 
policy, and provides for consistency with similar provisions in subpart 
2888--Trespass. Section 2888.10(c) states that the BLM will administer 
trespass actions for MLA grants and temporary use permits (TUPs) as set 
forth in section 2808.10(c) and section 2808.11, except that the rental 
exemption provisions of part 2800 do not apply to grants issued under 
part 2880. Adding a new provision at section 2806.14(b) makes it clear 
that the rental exemption provisions do not apply to trespass 
situations covered under subpart 2808, as they likewise do not apply to 
trespass situations covered under subpart 2888. The proposed rule would 
remove the phrase ``except that the rental exemption provisions of part 
2800 (section 2806.14) do not apply to grants issued under this part'' 
from section 2888.10(c), because the cross reference is no longer 
necessary (see preamble discussion for proposed section 2888.10(c)).

Section 2806.20 What is the rent for a linear right-of-way grant?

    This section explains that the BLM will use the Per Acre Rent 
Schedule, except as described in section 2806.26, to calculate rent for 
linear right-of-way grants. The per acre rent from the schedule (for 
all types of linear right-of-way facilities regardless of the granting 
authority, e.g., FLPMA, MLA, and their predecessors) is the product of 
three factors: The per acre zone value multiplied by the encumbrance 
factor multiplied by the rate of return. The following discussion 
explains how the BLM adjusted these factors in the current Per Acre 
Rent Schedule to arrive at the Per Acre Rent Schedule in the proposed 
rule, including the determination of per acre land values by county, as 
directed by the Act.

Use of a Schedule

    Section 367 of the Act directs the Secretary of the Interior to 
``revise the per acre rental fee zone value schedule by State, county, 
and type of linear right-of-way use to reflect current values of land 
in each zone.'' Therefore, the proposed rule retains the use of a 
schedule and no alternative rental fee options are considered.

County Land Values--Use of Published Data

    In the 1987 rent schedule, the average per acre land value for each 
county was based upon a review of the typical per acre value for the 
types of lands that the BLM and the FS had allocated to various utility 
and right-of-way facilities. These values were mapped, reviewed, and 
adjusted, resulting in the placement of each county (except Coconino 
County, Arizona, which was split by the Colorado River) in one of eight 
zones ranging in value from $50 to $1,000 per acre.
    In the ANPR, the BLM requested comments regarding what available 
published information, statistical data, or reports the BLM should use 
to update the current linear right-of-way rental fee zone values. The 
BLM stated in the ANPR that it was considering using existing published 
information or statistical data for updating the rent schedule, such as 
information published by the National Agricultural Statistics Service 
(NASS). The NASS publishes two reports:
    (1) The Census of Agriculture published every 5 years (NASS 
Census); and
    (2) The annual Land Values and Cash Rents Summary (Annual Report).
    The NASS Census includes average per acre land and building values 
by county, or other geographical areas, for each state. The land values 
are reported for cropland, woodland, permanent pasture, and rangeland 
and include non-commercial, non-residential buildings. The NASS data in 
the Annual Report includes average per acre values for cropland, 
pastureland, and farm real estate, but only on a statewide basis, and 
not on a countywide basis. Another shortcoming of the Annual Report is 
the absence of any data for Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. You can 
find more detailed information about these two reports at the NASS Web 
site at: http://www.nass.usda.gov/index.asp.
    The BLM received four comments in response to our request in the 
ANPR for comment on the use of available published information. One 
commenter said that the NASS data is appropriate. Two commenters 
recommended using the NASS Census of Agriculture (5-year census) for 
county-level data. One commenter stated that the NASS data seems 
appropriate for updating the schedule, so long as agricultural uses are 
not reflected in the land values used.
    The BLM agrees with the commenters that support the use of the NASS 
Census data to determine the average per acre value for each county. 
The proposed rule uses the NASS data. The NASS publishes average per 
acre land and building values, by state and county, each 5 year period 
in its NASS Census report. The most recent county values are from the 
2002 NASS Census, which was published in June 2004. The next NASS 
Census report will provide 2007 data, and it is due to be published in 
June 2009.
    Other Federal and state agencies regularly use the NASS Census data 
when it is necessary to obtain average per acre land value for a 
particular state or county. In addition, Congress specifically endorsed 
the use of this data for rental determination purposes when it passed 
the ``National Forest Organizational Camp Fee Improvement Act of 2003'' 
(Pub. L. 108-7) (16 U.S.C. 6232). This law established a formula for 
determining rent for organizational camps located on NFS lands by 
applying a 5 percent rate of return to the average per acre land and 
building value, by state and county, as reported in the most recent 
NASS Census. That law also provides for a process to update the per 
acre land values annually based on the change in per acre land value, 
by county, from one census period to another. The law does not mandate 
the use of zones or a schedule, which eliminates the need for an annual 
index adjustment to keep the schedule or zones current. However, the 
range between the high and low county values which results from using 
the components mandated under Public Law 108-7, including the use of a 
100 percent encumbrance factor, is significantly greater than the range 
between the high and low zone values which result from using the 
components established under this proposed rule. Thus, there is 
potential for significantly higher per acre rental amounts when using 
only the county land per acre value approach as compared to the per 
acre rental amounts generated using the zone value approach proposed in 
this rule.
    The BLM also requested in the ANPR comments regarding whether the 
proposed Per Acre Rent Schedule should split some states and counties 
into more than one zone and whether the schedule should apply to 
Alaska. The BLM received three comments regarding whether some counties 
should be split into more than one zone. One commenter said that any 
consideration of splitting states or counties into more than one zone 
should involve discussions with stakeholders. One commenter said that 
zones smaller than a single county may lead to undue administrative 
burden for the BLM (establishing boundaries and collecting data). For 
very high-valued lands, rent

[[Page 70380]]

could be based on 25 percent of the assessed value, according to one 
commenter. Alternatively, high-valued BLM lands could be sold or 
exchanged. One commenter said that wide variations in land values 
within a state or county may require applying the zone methodology at 
the sub-state or sub-county level. Regarding whether the Per Acre Rent 
Schedule should apply to Alaska, one commenter stated that the new 
linear right-of-way rent schedule should apply to public and NFS lands 
in Alaska if similar published data for land values is available for 
Alaska as for the lower 48 states and the data produces a reasonable 
per acre rental value.
    In this proposed rule, the BLM does not split any county into more 
than one zone because there is no published data, easily obtainable, 
that would support making such a split. However, we do propose that the 
schedule apply to Alaska since the NASS Census does include average per 
acre land and building values for five Alaska areas: Fairbanks; 
Anchorage; Kenai Peninsula; Aleutian Islands; and Juneau. This data 
does produce a reasonable per acre rental value and is comparable to 
the per acre rent values from contracted appraisals and/or local rent 
schedules now in effect in some BLM and FS offices. The NASS Census 
data does not define the actual boundaries for the five areas, and 
therefore we specifically ask for comments to assist the BLM and the FS 
in determining and identifying the on-the-ground area to be included in 
each of the five Alaska areas in the NASS Census. For example, the NASS 
Census average per acre land value for the Fairbanks ``area'' could be 
used for all public lands administered by the BLM Fairbanks District 
Office; and the NASS Census average per acre land value for the 
Anchorage ``area'' could apply to all public lands administered by the 
BLM Anchorage District Office, and so forth. Another approach, which 
the BLM and the FS prefer, would be to identify specific geographic or 
management areas and apply the most appropriate per acre land value 
from the five Alaska NASS Census areas to the BLM/FS identified 
geographic or management areas based on similar landscapes and/or 
similar average per acre land values. Under this approach, the FS plans 
to use the NASS census data for the Kenai Peninsula for all NFS lands 
in Alaska, except for NFS lands located in the Anchorage and Juneau 
areas. For NFS lands located in the Municipality of Anchorage, the NASS 
census data for the Anchorage area would apply. For NFS lands in the 
downtown Juneau area (Juneau voting precincts 1, 2, and 3), the NASS 
census data for the Juneau area would apply.
    Puerto Rico, which has no public lands administered by the BLM, is 
not divided into counties. However, the NASS publishes average farmland 
values for the entire Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The FS plans to use 
the NASS average farmland values ($5,866 per acre in 2002) for linear 
right-of-way authorizations located on NFS lands in Puerto Rico.

Per Acre Zone Values

    The 1987 linear rent schedule contains eight separate zones 
representing average per acre land value from $50 per acre to $1,000 
per acre. The schedule contains two zones with a $50 range, five zones 
with a $100 range, and one zone with a $400 range. All the counties in 
the 48 contiguous states, except one and Puerto Rico, are in one of the 
eight zones based on their estimated average per acre land value. The 
lone exception, as mentioned above, is Coconino County, Arizona, where 
the area north of the Colorado River is in one zone, and the area south 
of the river is in a different zone.
    In the ANPR, the BLM requested comments regarding the appropriate 
number of rental zones for the revised rent schedule, and received 
three comments. One commenter said that the number of zones (8) in the 
current schedule is sufficient. Two commenters said that the number of 
zones should not be changed, unless the NASS Census data indicates the 
need for a change.
    In the proposed rule, the number of zones has been increased from 
the current 8 to 12, in order to accommodate the range of 3,080 county 
land values contained in the NASS Census. For the same reason, it was 
necessary to increase the dollar value per zone. In the 2002 NASS 
Census, the county land and building per acre value ranged from a low 
of $75 to a high of $98,954. To accommodate such a wide range in 
average per acre land values, the BLM proposes two zones with $250 
increments, three zones with $500 increments, one zone with a $1,000 
increment, one zone with a $2,000 increment, one zone with a $5,000 
increment, two zones with $10,000 increments, one zone with a $20,000 
increment, and one zone with a $50,000 increment (see Table 2--Zone 
Thresholds).

Zone 11................................  $30,001 to $50,000.
Zone 12................................  $50,001 to $100,000.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed zones accommodate the per acre land and building 
values of 100 percent of the total number of counties in the 2002 NASS 
Census (see Table 3). As land values increase or decrease, it may be 
necessary to adjust either the number of zones and/or the dollar value 
per zone. The proposed rule would allow adjustments to the number of 
zones and/or the dollar value per zone after every other NASS Census is 
published (once each ten-year period). The adjustments must accommodate 
100 percent of the county per acre land and building values reflected 
in the 5-Year Census. The BLM, specifically asks for comments on 
whether 100 percent of the counties should be covered by the per acre 
rent schedule. Only 14 of the 3,080 counties have per acre land values 
in excess of $30,000. If Zones 11 and 12 were deleted from the per acre 
rent schedule, the 14 counties with per acre land values in excess of 
$30,000 would be included in Zone 10 for purposes of calculating rent 
for any rights-of-way located in these counties. The use of zones in 
this manner would then serve as a rental ``cap'' for any rights-of-way 
located in a county with per acre land values statistically outside of 
the norm. However, it would also significantly limit the dollar amount 
of the one-time payment for perpetual right-of-way grants under 
proposed sections 2806.25(c) and 2885.22(b), and may not achieve the 
objectives of the Act to ``revise the per acre rental fee zone value 
schedule by state, county, and type of linear right-of-way uses to 
reflect current value of land in each zone.''

    The 2002 NASS Census per acre land and building value for each 
county (or similar area) and the corresponding zone number in the Per 
Acre Rent Schedule are listed for informational purposes at the end of 
this proposed rule. Most of the areas subject to the proposed Per Acre 
Rent Schedule are called ``counties.'' Exceptions include Alaska 
``areas,'' the ``Commonwealth'' of Puerto Rico, and Louisiana 
``parishes.'' To make the terminology uniform in this proposed rule, 
all such areas are referred to as counties.

Encumbrance Factor

    The BLM is proposing an encumbrance factor (EF) of 50 percent for 
all types of linear right-of-way facilities. This is a change from the 
current rule where the EF for roads and energy related pipelines and 
other facilities is 80 percent and the EF for telephone and electrical 
transmission facilities is 70 percent. This change is the result of 
public comments on the ANPR, a review of industry practices in the 
private sector, and a review of the Department of the Interior (DOI) 
appraisal methodology for right-of-way facilities located on Federal 
lands.
    The EF is a measure of the degree that a particular type of 
facility encumbers the right-of-way area and/or excludes other types of 
land uses. If the EF is 100 percent, the right-of-way facility (and its 
operation) is encumbering the right-of-way area to the exclusion of all 
other uses. The land use rent for such a facility would be calculated 
on the full value of the subject land (annual rent = full value of land 
x rate of return). If the EF is 40 percent, the right-of-way facility 
(and its operation) is only partially encumbering the right-of-way area 
so that other uses could theoretically co-exist alongside the right-of-
way facility. The land use rent for such a facility would be calculated 
on only 40 percent of the full value of the subject land (annual rent = 
full value of land x 40 percent x by rate of return).
    Two comments received on this topic suggested that an EF could be 
as low as 10-15 percent if the right-of-way facility is located on 
undevelopable terrain; a 25 percent EF be used for a transmission line 
that does not impact development of land (``set-back areas''); a 50 
percent EF be used if development is restricted, but not prohibited, or 
if other land uses are still possible; and a 70 percent EF be used if 
development or other uses are severely restricted. Another commenter 
stated that the EF should be lowered to 25-50 percent for power lines 
because in the private sector, an electrical utility typically makes a 
one-time payment of 50 percent fair market land value for a perpetual 
easement, allowing other use(s) within the corridor as long as the 
use(s) do not interfere with the power line. The commenter also stated 
that most of the uses that the BLM authorizes can also be conducted 
within a power line corridor without interfering with the power line 
and without restricting the additional use. One commenter encouraged 
BLM to use a lower EF than 70 percent, based on common real estate 
practice relating to utility easements. The commenter stated that when 
utilities negotiate the purchase price for easements on private land, 
they typically apply a factor of 50 percent or less to the fee simple 
value of the land involved, to reflect that the utility easement is 
less than fee ownership and has a reduced impact. This commenter 
further stated that the BLM should use a 50 percent or lower 
encumbrance (Impact Adjustment) factor and should allow a right-of-way 
applicant to demonstrate that an even lower impact factor should apply.
    The BLM reviewed several appraisal reports (prepared by the DOI's 
Appraisal Services Directorate) for right-of-way facilities located on 
Federal lands which showed an EF ranging from 25 percent (for buried 
telephone lines) to 100 percent (for major oil pipelines and electrical 
transmission lines). The BLM also reviewed one appraisal report that 
was prepared by a contractor for the BLM. The contractor did an 
independent solicitation of industry practices regarding this factor 
and again found anecdotal evidence that EFs vary from 25 percent to 100 
percent, with 50 to 75 percent being the most common. One holder 
provided anecdotal evidence that its company typically used a 40 
percent EF for buried facilities and a 60 percent EF for above ground 
facilities when negotiating land use rental terms for its facilities 
across private lands. One holder contracted with a private appraisal 
firm to determine an appropriate EF for a major

[[Page 70382]]

pipeline and found that a 75 percent EF is fairly typical for major 
projects. Finally, our review showed that many state and Federal 
agencies have established an EF by statute or by policy, usually in the 
70 percent to 100 percent range.
    The BLM recognizes that the EF is closely related to the type of 
right-of-way facility authorized, as well as how it is operated and 
administered. However, to assign a specific EF for each type of 
facility, or type of terrain, would be counter-productive to the 
purpose of using a schedule in the first place, i.e., for 
administrative simplicity and the cost savings that a schedule provides 
to both the BLM and the applicant/holder in determining rent for right-
of-way facilities on public lands. In determining an appropriate EF, 
consideration should be given to the fact that the BLM grants rights-
of-way for a specified term, usually 20 to 30 years. The rights granted 
are subject to provisions for renewal, relinquishment, abandonment, 
termination, or modification during the term of the grant. The EF 
should also recognize that the grants issued for right-of-way 
facilities are non-exclusive, i.e., the BLM reserves the right to 
authorize other uses within a right-of-way area, as long as the uses 
are compatible. Given these considerations, and the research and 
analysis cited above, along with consideration of public comments, the 
BLM has determined that a 50 percent EF (in both the current and 
proposed per acre linear rent schedule, the EF is and would be applied 
to the upper limit of each zone value) is a reasonable and appropriate 
component for use in the rent formula for linear right-of-way 
facilities located on public lands. The BLM welcomes any additional 
comments regarding the proposed use of a 50 percent EF, especially 
since this is a significant reduction from the 80 percent and 70 
percent EFs used in the current per acre rent schedule.

Rate of Return

    The rate of return component used in the Per Acre Rent Schedule 
reflects the relationship of income to property value, as modified by 
any adjustments to property value, such as the EF discussed above. The 
BLM reviewed a number of appraisal reports that indicated that the rate 
of return for the land can vary from 7 to 12 percent, and is typically 
around 10 percent. These rates take into account certain risk 
considerations, i.e., the possibility of not receiving or losing future 
income benefits, and do not normally include an allowance for 
inflation. However, a holder seeking a right-of-way from the BLM must 
show that it is financially able to construct and operate the facility. 
In addition, the BLM can require surety or performance bonds from the 
holder to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of the 
authorization, including any rental obligations. This reduces the risk 
and should allow the BLM to utilize a ``safe rate,'' e.g., the 
prevailing rate on insured savings accounts or guaranteed government 
securities that include an allowance for inflation.
    The rate of return for the current rent schedule is 6.41 percent, 
which was the 1-year Treasury Securities ``Constant Maturity'' rate for 
June 30, 1986. Two commenters stated that this rate of return is an 
acceptable rate of return for right-of-way uses on public lands. 
Another commenter stated that the Treasury-bill (T-bill) rate of 6.41 
percent in the current rent schedule is not unreasonably high given 
current T-bill rates around 5 percent. This commenter also stated that 
an annual adjustment of the T-bill rate would lead to uncertainty in 
rental fees, which would have a negative impact on utilities and 
customers, and duplicates the changes reflected in the Gross Domestic 
Product (GDP) index. Land values tend to move opposite to the T-bill 
rate, so including this update in the formula would lead to overly-
large rental rates. According to this commenter, a better approach 
would be to use the 10-year average of the 1-year T-bill rates. Three 
commenters supported updating the rate of return annually, using some 
multi-year average of the 1-year T-bill rates. The commenters said that 
this approach would provide for a current rate of return, while 
avoiding abrupt changes.
    Given the above considerations, the BLM has determined that an 
initial rate of return based on the 10-year average of the U.S. 30-year 
Treasury bond yield rate would be reasonable since most right-of-way 
authorizations are issued for a term of 30 years. The ``initial'' rate 
would be effective for a 10-year period, and then would adjust 
automatically to the then existing 10-year average of the U.S. 30-year 
Treasury bond yield rate. This method of establishing the rate of 
return eliminates a ``one-point-in-time'' high or low rate with a rate 
that reflects an average over the preceding decade. The proposed rule 
would allow for use of the 10-year average of the U.S. 20-year Treasury 
bond yield rate if the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond yield rate is not 
available. The BLM welcomes any comments regarding the method that we 
propose to establish the initial rate of return and how we propose to 
update it each 10-year period.

2002 (Base Year) Per Acre Rent Schedule

    Based upon the above discussion, the Per Acre Rent Schedule for the 
base year, calendar year 2002, is shown in Table 4:

    As discussed above, the most recent NASS Census data available is 
for calendar year 2002 and that data is therefore used to develop the 
initial or base Per Acre Rent Schedule. Proposed section 2806.20 
explains that the base 2002 Per Acre Rent Schedule would be adjusted 
annually in accordance with section 2806.22(a) and that it would be 
revised in accordance with sections 2806.22(b) and (c) at the end of 
each 10-year period starting with the base year of 2002. These 
adjustments to the 2002 Per Acre Rent Schedule, as well as the proposed 
Per Acre Rent Schedule for 2007 are discussed below. Section 2806.20 
further explains that counties (or other geographical areas) would be 
assigned to an appropriate zone in accordance with section 2806.21. 
Finally, section 2806.20 explains that you may obtain a copy of the 
current Per Acre Rent Schedule from any BLM state or field office or by 
writing: Director, BLM, 1849 C St., NW., Mail Stop 1000 LS, Washington, 
DC 20240. The BLM also posts the current rent schedule on the BLM 
Homepage on the Internet at http://www.blm.gov. Because current 
schedules are easily available, the BLM does not intend to publish an 
updated Per Acre Rent Schedule each year in the Federal Register.

Section 2806.21 When and how are counties or other geographical areas 
assigned to a County Zone Number and Per Acre Zone Value?

    This section explains that counties (or other geographical areas) 
would be assigned to a county zone number and per acre zone value in 
the Per Acre Rent Schedule based upon their average per acre land and 
building value published in the Census of Agriculture by the NASS. The 
initial assignment of counties to the zones in the base year (2002) Per 
Acre Rent Schedule is based on data contained in the most recent NASS 
Census (2002). For example, San Juan County, New Mexico, has a 2002 
NASS Census average per acre land and building value of $324. Since 
this amount falls between $251 and $500, San Juan County is assigned to 
Zone 2 on the Per Acre Rent Schedule. The 2002 NASS Census per acre 
land and building value for each county and the corresponding zone 
number in the Per Acre Rent Schedule are listed for informational 
purposes at the end of this proposed rule.
    This proposed section further explains that subsequent assignments 
of counties would occur every 5 years following the publication of the 
NASS Census. The next scheduled NASS Census will be for calendar year 
2007, but the data will not be published until June 2009. If the 
average per acre land and building value of San Juan County stays 
between $251 and $500 in the 2007 NASS Census, San Juan County would 
remain in Zone 2 on the Per Acre Rent Schedule. However, if the average 
per acre land and building value were to drop to $240, San Juan County 
would be reassigned to Zone 1 on the Per Acre Rent Schedule used for 
calendar year 2010. Likewise, if the average per acre land and building 
value were to increase to $540, San Juan County would be reassigned to 
Zone 3 on the Per Acre Rent Schedule used for calendar year 2010.

Section 2806.22 When and how does the Per Acre Rent Schedule change?

    This section explains that the BLM would adjust the per acre rent 
in section 2806.20 for all types of linear right-of-way facilities in 
each zone each calendar year based on the difference in the U.S. 
Department of Labor CPI-U, from January of one year to January of the 
following year.
    The annual price index component used in the Per Acre Rent Schedule 
allows the rent per acre amount to stay current with inflationary or 
deflationary trends. If the rent schedule were not based on the 
``zone'' concept, where county per acre land values were placed into a 
corresponding zone value, the price index adjustment would not be 
necessary, assuming the county per acre land values were kept current. 
However, since the Act directs the BLM to ``revise the per acre rental 
fee zone value schedule by state, county, and type of linear right-of-
way use to reflect current values of land in each zone,'' the proposed 
rule retains the zone concept as well as the annual price index 
adjustment.
    The current Per Acre Rent Schedule is adjusted annually by the 
change in the Implicit Price Deflator, Gross Domestic Product index 
(IDP-GDP) from the second quarter to the second quarter. From the 
initial rent schedule in 1987 to the rent schedule for 2007, the change 
in the IPD-GDP index increased the rent per acre amounts by 62.2 
percent. In comparison, the CPI-U index increased 85.8 percent for the 
same period. Because the growth rate for the IDP-GDP is generally less 
than that for the CPI-U, one ANPR commenter suggested using half of the 
CPI-U index rather than the current 100 percent of the IDP-GDP as the 
CPI-U is more easily available. The commenter said that halving the 
CPI-U number is in line with the lesser IDP-GDP and allows for a 
normalization of the annual index adjustment while still allowing for 
increases with inflation.
    Two ANPR commenters stated that the payment due date (January 1) 
comes less than one month after the payment

[[Page 70384]]

amount is announced in December. The commenters recommended using an 
earlier-published index than the current one (July of each year). 
Another commenter stated that the IDP-GDP is reported as a national 
number only and does not reflect any potential regional changes in the 
price level. As such, the Consumer Price Index may offer an alternative 
index to that of using the IDP-GDP.
    When in 1995 the BLM and the FS finalized the rent schedule for 
communication uses and facilities located on public and NFS lands, the 
agencies chose to use the CPI-U as the annual index to keep the per 
acre rental amounts current with inflationary and deflationary trends. 
The CPI-U was chosen because it is the most common index used by 
economists and the Federal Government to reflect inflationary and 
deflationary trends in the economy as a whole; it is the most 
recognizable and familiar index to the American consumer; and it can be 
easily obtained from published sources by both Federal agencies and the 
American public. For these reasons, the BLM has chosen to use the 
difference in the CPI-U, from January of one year to January of the 
following year, as the annual price index for the Per Acre Rent 
Schedule in the proposed rule. In addition to being a reasonable index, 
using the difference in the CPI-U, from January of one year to January 
of the following year (instead of from July of one year to July of the 
following year), would provide nearly a full year's notification to 
holders of the change in the annual index and the impact that the 
change might have on the following year's rental amount. Table 5 shows 
the Per Acre Rent Schedules for the years 2002 through 2007, using the 
CPI-U index (Note: Rent paid for years 2002--2007 under the current 
schedule would not be recalculated using the rates in Table 5).

    Table 5 displays the per acre rent values for each county zone for 
the 2002 base year and each subsequent year after application of the 
annual index. The annual index adjustments would continue until the Per 
Acre Rent Schedule is revised under paragraph (b) of this section. The 
per acre rent values would then be recalculated based on the revised 
zone values and rate of return, but maintaining the 50 percent EF. The 
annual index adjustments would then continue on an annual basis until 
the next potential revision to the Per Acre Rent Schedule 10 years 
later. In the event that the NASS Census stops being published, or is 
otherwise unavailable, then the only changes to the rent schedule would 
be the annual index adjustment and the revision of the rate of return 
under paragraph (c) of this section.
    Section 2806.22 also explains that the BLM would review the NASS 
Census data from the 2012 NASS Census, and each subsequent 10-year 
period, and if appropriate, revise the number of county zones and the 
per acre zone value. Any revision must include 100 percent of the 
number of counties and listed geographical areas for all states and the 
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and must reasonably reflect their average 
per acre land and building values contained in the NASS Census. The BLM 
may revise the number of zones and the per acre zone value in the 2002 
base Per Acre Rent Schedule (section 2806.20(a)) following the 
publication of the 2012 NASS Census. Since the 2012 NASS Census data 
will not be available until early 2014, based on current timeframes, 
any revision would be applicable for the calendar year 2015 rent 
schedule. In the event that the NASS Census data becomes available in 
mid-year 2013, the revisions could be applicable for the calendar year 
2014 Per Acre Rent Schedule. However, this is unlikely due to the 
extensive data verification process that is undertaken by NASS. 
Although the NASS Census occurs each 5-year period, the revision to the 
number of zones and the per acre zone value will occur each 10-year 
period after publication of the NASS Census in 2012, 2022, 2032, and so 
forth. Based on historic trends in average per acre land values, the 
BLM does not foresee that it would be necessary to revise the Per Acre 
Rent Schedule after each NASS Census period; the BLM finds, however, 
that it would likely be necessary to revise the Per Acre Rent Schedule 
after every other NASS Census period (each 10-year period) in order to 
keep the schedule current with existing per acre land values.
    This section further explains that the BLM would revise the Per 
Acre Rent Schedule at the end of calendar year 2011 and at the end of 
each 10-year period thereafter to reflect the average rate of return 
for the preceding 10-year period for the 30-year Treasury bond (or the 
20-year Treasury bond if the 30-year Treasury bond is not available). 
The initial rate of return for the 2002 base rent schedule is 6.47 
percent, which is the average 30-year Treasury bond yield

[[Page 70385]]

rate for the 10-year period from 1992 through 2001. The subsequent rate 
of return would be determined by the average 30-year Treasury bond 
yield rate for the 10-year period from 2002 through 2011 and would 
apply to the updated rent schedule for calendar year 2013.
    The adjustments provided by this section would keep the Per Acre 
Rent Schedule current relative to average per acre land value as 
directed by the Act. In addition, since the adjustments would be based 
on easily accessible public information, the changes should not be 
either burdensome to administer or surprising in their outcome.

Section 2806.23 How will BLM calculate my rent for linear rights-of-way 
the Per Acre Rent Schedule covers?

    Proposed sections 2806.23(a) and (b) are similar to and replace 
current sections 2806.22(a) and (b), respectively. Proposed section 
2806.23(a) explains that (except as provided by sections 2806.25 and 
2806.26) the BLM calculates rent by multiplying the rent per acre for 
the appropriate county (or other geographical area) zone from the 
current schedule by the number of acres (as rounded up to the nearest 
tenth of an acre) in the right-of-way area that fall in each zone and 
multiplying the result by the number of years in the rental period. The 
proposed rent calculation methodology is identical to the current rent 
calculation methodology; only the components of the formula (average 
per acre land value; county zones; the EF; and rate of return) would be 
revised. For example, an existing pipeline right-of-way in New Mexico 
occupies 0.74 acres of public land in Chaves County and 4.8 acres of 
public land in Eddy County. The 2002 NASS Census indicates that the 
average per acre land and building value for Chaves County is $212 
(Zone 1 on the Per Acre Rent Schedule) and $255 for Eddy County (or 
Zone 2 on the Per Acre Rent Schedule). The per acre rent value for 
calendar year 2007 for Zone 1 is 9.16 and for Zone 2 it is $18.31. The 
2007 annual rent for the portion of the right-of-way in Zone 1 (Chaves 
County) is $7.33 (0.74 acres (rounded up to 0.8 acres) multiplied by 
$9.16 = $7.33). The 2007 annual rent for the portion of the right-of-
way in Zone 2 (Eddy County) is $87.89 (4.8 acres multiplied by $18.31 = 
$87.89). The total 2007 rent for the entire grant would be $95.22. If 
the holder is not an individual, given that the annual rent is $1,000 
or less, the holder has the option to pay for the entire remaining term 
of the grant, or to pay rent at 10-year intervals, not to exceed the 
term of the grant (see section 2806.24).
    Lastly, this section explains that if the BLM has not previously 
used the rent schedule to calculate your rent, we may do so after 
giving you reasonable written notice.

Section 2806.24 How must I make rental payments for a linear grant?

    Proposed section 2806.24(a) explains that for linear grants, except 
those issued in perpetuity, you must make either nonrefundable annual 
payments or a nonrefundable payment for more than 1 year, as follows:
    (1) One-time payments. You may pay in advance the total rent amount 
for the entire term of the grant or any remaining years.
    (2) Multiple payments. If you choose not to make a one-time 
payment, you must pay according to one of the following methods:
    (i) Payments by individuals. If your annual rent is $100 or less, 
you must pay at 10-year intervals, not to exceed the term of the grant. 
If your annual rent is greater than $100, you may pay annually or at 
10-year intervals, not to exceed the term of the grant. For example, if 
you have a grant with a term of 30 years, you may pay in advance for 10 
years, 20 years, or 30 years, but not 15 years.
    (ii) Payments by all others. If your annual rent is $1,000 or less, 
you must pay rent at 10-year intervals, not to exceed the term of the 
grant. If your annual rent is greater than $1,000, you may pay annually 
or at 10-year intervals, not to exceed the term of the grant.
    Proposed section 2806.24(a) would replace the rent payment options 
in current section 2806.23(a). Currently, only individual grant-holders 
with annual rent in excess of $100 have the option to pay their rent 
annually or at multi-year intervals of their choice. All other grant 
holders must pay a one-time rent payment for the term of the grant or 
pay rent at 10-year intervals not to exceed the term of the grant. 
These provisions were incorporated in the 2005 regulations to help 
reduce or eliminate costs associated with the billing and collection of 
annual rent to both the BLM and the holder. However, many holders have 
pointed out since implementation of these provisions that making rent 
payments, especially for existing grants, for 10 to 30-year terms (100 
years for grants issued in perpetuity) can be an extreme financial 
hardship, especially for small business entities operating on limited 
annual budgets.
    For FLPMA authorizations, the BLM has some ability to address these 
issues under the ``undue hardship'' provisions in current section 
2806.15(c), but this process can be burdensome on the holders, requires 
approval of the appropriate BLM State Director, and is not available to 
holders of MLA authorizations. Several holders of MLA authorizations 
pointed out that the annual rent payment for some of their grants 
exceed $10,000, and in at least one case, the annual rent is in excess 
of $100,000, which would require them to make minimum rent payments 
between $100,000 and $1,000,000 for a 10-year rental payment period. 
These holders have suggested that corporations and business entities be 
given rent payment options similar to those of individuals, except with 
a higher annual rental threshold of $500 or $1,000, instead of the $100 
threshold available to individual holders.
    Three commenters on the ANPR said they supported flexible term-
payment schedules (annual payments, 5-year payments, 10-year payments) 
for all authorizations, especially those with annual rent greater than 
$500. Several commenters said that the BLM should include a 3 to 6 year 
phase-in period, along with more flexible rent payment periods, in 
order to provide relief from a large or unexpected increase in 
individual rental payments.
    In response to the holders' concerns with the BLM's existing 
limited rent payment options, as well as possible concerns of higher 
rental payments from revision of the current Per Acre Rent Schedule, 
the BLM is proposing more flexible rent payment options, in addition to 
the phase-in provisions discussed above. Under the proposed rule, the 
holder retains the option to pay rent for the entire term of the grant, 
except for grants issued in perpetuity. No changes in rent payment 
options are proposed for those holders who are considered 
``individuals'' with the exception that if the annual rent is greater 
than $100, you may pay annually or at 10-year intervals, not to exceed 
the term of the grant. The proposed rule would eliminate the options 
for individuals with annual rent greater than $100 to pay at multiple-
year intervals of their choice. An ``individual'' does not include any 
business entity, e.g., partnerships, corporations, associations, or any 
similar business arrangements. However, the BLM agrees that ``non-
individuals'' need to have more flexible rent payment options, 
especially for those holders whose annual rent payment is in excess of 
$1,000. Under this proposal, when this threshold is met, the holder has 
the option to pay its rent on an annual basis, or at 10-year intervals, 
not to exceed the term of the

[[Page 70386]]

grant. For example, the holder of a 25-year grant (a grant issued on 
May 25, 2005, for a 25-year period would expire on December 31, 2029) 
whose annual rent is $2,000 would have the option upon grant issuance 
to make annual payments of $2,000 plus annual index adjustments (the 
initial rent period could be for a 7-month period or a rent payment of 
$1,166.67). The holder could also choose to make a payment in advance 
for 10 years (total payment of $19,166.67 (9 years + 7 months); for 20 
years (total payment of $39,167 (19 years + 7 months); or for the 
entire 25 years (total payment of $49,166.67 (24 years + 7 months), but 
not for any other multi-year period. If the holder's annual rent is 
$1,000 or less, the holder (non-individual) would pay rent at 10-year 
intervals, not to exceed the term of the grant.
    Proposed section 2806.24(b) explains that for linear grants issued 
in perpetuity (except as noted in sections 2806.25 and 2806.26), you 
must make either nonrefundable annual payments or a nonrefundable 
payment for more than 1 year, as follows:
    (1) Payments by individuals. If your annual rent is $100 or less, 
you must pay at 10-year intervals, not to exceed 30 years. Under this 
provision, you would have the option to pay for a 10-year term, a 20-
year term, or a 30-year term. No other terms would be available. If 
your annual rent is greater than $100, you may pay annually or at 10-
year intervals (10-year term, 20-year term, or 30-year term), not to 
exceed 30 years. Again, no other terms would be available.
    (2) Payments by all others. If your annual rent is $1,000 or less, 
you must pay rent at 10-year intervals, not to exceed 30 years. Under 
this section, you would have the option to pay for a 10-year term, a 
20-year term, or a 30-year term. No other terms would be available. If 
your annual rent is greater than $1,000, you may pay annually or at 10-
year intervals (10-year term, 20-year term, or 30-year term), not to 
exceed 30 years. No other terms would be available.
    Proposed section 2806.24(b) would replace current section 
2806.23(c), which gives non-individual holders of a perpetual grant 
only one rent payment option, that is, a one-time payment based on the 
annual rent (either determined from the Per Acre Rent Schedule or from 
an appraisal) multiplied by 100. Holders (non-individuals) of perpetual 
grants have no other option under current rules but to pay a one-time 
payment that many find burdensome. Under the 1987 regulations, holders 
of perpetual grants paid either annually or for a 5-year period, but 
could not make a one-time payment. This was especially problematic when 
public land encumbered by a perpetual grant was transferred out of 
Federal ownership. The 2005 regulations provided for the one-time 
payment option (see section 2806.23(c)), but did not offer other rent 
payment options, which are necessary for proper administration of those 
perpetual grants already in existence prior to 2005, and which encumber 
land that the BLM intends to administer. Although the term of a FLPMA 
grant can be any length, it is the BLM's policy to strictly adhere to 
the factors listed in current section 2805.11(b) to establish a 
reasonable term. The factors that must be considered in establishing a 
reasonable term include the: (1) Public purpose served; (2) Cost and 
useful life of the facility; (3) Time limitations imposed by licenses 
or permits required by other Federal agencies and state, tribal, or 
local governments; and (4) Time necessary to accomplish the purpose of 
the grant. The BLM's own land use planning horizon is generally only 20 
to 30 years, so it is seldom in the public interest to issue land use 
authorizations which exceed this horizon. In addition, the term of MLA 
grants can not exceed 30 years (see current section 2885.11(a)).
    Although the BLM should now rarely issue grants in perpetuity, 
except when the land encumbered by the grant is being transferred out 
of Federal ownership (see proposed section 2806.25), we must still be 
able to effectively administer grants that were issued in perpetuity 
under prior authorities (generally pre-FLPMA authorities and the MLA 
prior to 1973). Holders of these grants have requested flexible rent 
payment options. Proposed section 2806.24(b) provides rent payment 
options that are available to holders of existing perpetual rights-of-
way and which are deemed necessary to properly administer perpetual 
grants when the land is not being transferred out of Federal ownership. 
In addition, proposed sections 2806.25 and 2806.26 allow you to make a 
one-time payment for perpetual grants and perpetual easements, 
respectively, when the land encumbered by the grant or easement is 
being transferred out of Federal ownership.
    Proposed section 2806.24(c) is the same as current section 
2806.23(b), which explains that the BLM considers the first partial 
calendar year in the initial rent payment period to be the first year 
of the term. The BLM prorates the first year rental amount based on the 
number of months left in the calendar year after the effective date of 
the grant.

Section 2806.25 How may I make rental payments when land encumbered by 
my perpetual linear grant (other than an easement issued under Sec.  
2807.15(c)) is being transferred out of Federal ownership?

    Proposed section 2806.25 explains how you may make one-time rental 
payments for your perpetual linear grant (other than an easement issued 
under section 2807.15(c) (see section 2806.26)) when land encumbered by 
your grant is being transferred out of Federal ownership. Section 
2806.25(a) explains that if you have an existing perpetual grant 
(whether issued under FLPMA or its predecessors) and the land your 
grant encumbers is being transferred out of Federal ownership, you may 
make a one-time rental payment. You are not required to make a one-time 
rental payment, but if you choose to do so, the BLM would determine 
your one-time payment for a perpetual right-of-way grant by dividing 
the current annual rent for the subject property by an overall 
capitalization rate calculated from market data. Under this 
calculation, the overall capitalization rate is the difference between 
a market yield rate and a percent annual rent increase as described in 
the formula below. The formula for this calculation is: One-time rental 
payment = annual rent/(Y - CR), where:

(1) Annual rent = current annual rent applicable to the subject 
property from the Per Acre Rent Schedule;
(2) Y = yield rate (rate of return) determined by the most recent 
10-year average of the annual 30-year Treasury Bond Rate as of 
January of each year; and
(3) CR = annual percent change in rent as determined by the most 
recent 10-year average of the difference in the CPI-U Index from 
January of one year to January of the following year.

    Section 2806.25(b) explains how you must make a one-time payment 
for term grants converted to a perpetual grant under section 
2807.15(c). If the land your grant encumbers is being transferred out 
of Federal ownership and you request a conversion of your term grant to 
a perpetual right-of-way grant, you would be required to make a one-
time rental payment in accordance with section 2806.25(a).
    Section 2806.25(c) explains that in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this 
section, the annual rent is determined from the Per Acre Rent Schedule 
(see section 2806.20(c)) as updated under section 2806.22. However, the 
per acre zone value and zone number used in this annual rental 
determination would be

[[Page 70387]]

based on the per acre zone value from acceptable market information or 
an appraisal, if any, for the land transfer action and not the county 
average per acre land and building value from the NASS Census.
    Section 2806.25(d) explains that when no acceptable market 
information is available or when no appraisal has been completed for 
the land transfer action or when the BLM requests it, you must prepare 
an appraisal report in accordance with Federal appraisal standards.
    Section 2806.25 is a new section that explains how one-time rental 
payments would be determined for perpetual grants (other than an 
easement issued under section 2807.15(c)) when the land your grant 
encumbers is being transferred out of Federal ownership. It is 
important to note that you are under no obligation to make a one-time 
rental payment for your existing perpetual grant when the land your 
grant encumbers is being transferred out of Federal ownership. If you 
have an existing term or perpetual grant and you have made either 
annual or multi-year payments under section 2806.24, and the land your 
grant encumbers is to be transferred out of Federal ownership, and you 
choose not to make a one-time rental payment to the BLM, you would 
negotiate future rental payments for your grant with the new land owner 
at the appropriate time. However, if you desire to make a one-time 
payment to the BLM prior to the transfer of the land, and you have an 
existing perpetual grant, section 2806.25(a) would allow the BLM to 
determine the one-time rental payment by dividing the current annual 
rent for the subject property by an overall capitalization rate 
calculated from market data. Under this calculation, the overall 
capitalization rate is the difference between a market yield rate and a 
percent annual rent increase as described in the formula below. The 
formula for this calculation is: One-time rental payment = annual rent/
(Y - CR), where:

(1) Annual rent = current annual rent applicable to the subject 
property from the Per Acre Rent Schedule;
(2) Y = yield rate (rate of return) determined by the most recent 
10-year average of the annual 30-year Treasury Bond Rate as of 
January of each year; and
(3) CR = annual percent change in rent as determined by the most 
recent 10-year average of the difference in the CPI-U Index from 
January of one year to January of the following year.

    For example, if the most recent 10-year average of the annual 30-
Year Treasury Bond rate as of January of each year is 6.47 percent and 
the most recent 10-year average of the difference in the CPI-U index 
from January of one year to January of the following year is 2.47 
percent, then the overall capitalization rate is 4 percent (6.47 - 2.47 
= 4). The one-time rental payment for a perpetual right-of-way grant 
with an annual rent of $36.63 (annual rent for 1 acre of right-of-way 
area located in Zone 3 for 2007) would be determined by dividing the 
annual rent ($36.63) by the overall capitalization rate (.04) or 
$915.75. This methodology of calculating rent is known as the income 
capitalization approach.
    The BLM also considered other methods to determine a one-time 
rental payment, including an administrative approach similar to current 
section 2806.23(c)(1), where a one-time payment is determined by 
multiplying the annual rent by 100. Under this approach, a one-time 
payment for the same right-of-way grant described above with an annual 
rent payment of $36.63 would be $3,663 ($36.63 multiplied by 100), 
instead of $915.75. While this approach is reasonable when using the 
current per acre rent schedule, it could generate an excessively high 
one-time payment when using current land values as directed by the Act. 
The BLM also considered using a discounted cash flow (DCF) method to 
calculate the present value of the projected annual rent payments over 
a 100-year term, assuming annual rent payments are made in advance. The 
DCF approach would generate a one-time payment similar to the income 
capitalization approach. In the above example, a one-time rental 
payment using the DCF method for the same annual rent payment figure of 
$36.63 would be $953.24 compared to $915.75 using the income 
capitalization approach. In general, the DCF formula is more complex 
and prone to rounding inconsistencies, as compared to the income 
capitalization formula, which is fairly straightforward and simple to 
use.
    Given the above considerations, the BLM believes that the income 
capitalization approach is the most reasonable and correct methodology 
for converting an annual rent payment (with an annual adjustment 
factor) to a one-time payment for a perpetual term. The variables in 
the formula are the rate of return and the percent change in rent. 
These variables could be determined on a case-by-case basis. However, 
to provide some certainty, and since the Per Acre Rent Schedule already 
utilizes these components, the BLM believes that using a 10-year 
average for each component will normalize these variables and avoid 
either abnormally high or low values that can result from using a one 
point in time figure.
    Section 2806.25(b) addresses the situation where there is an 
existing term grant and you ask BLM to convert it to a perpetual FLPMA 
grant under section 2807.15(c). If you made this request, the BLM would 
treat it as an application for an amendment under current section 
2807.20. If the BLM approved your request to change the term of your 
grant, the BLM would determine the mandatory one-time rental payment as 
explained in paragraph (a) of this section.
    Section 2806.25(c) provides that if the land your grant encumbers 
is being transferred out of Federal ownership and you have a perpetual 
grant and have requested a one-time rental payment, or you have 
requested the BLM to amend your grant to a perpetual grant and seek a 
one-time rental payment, the BLM would base the per acre zone value and 
zone number used in the annual rental determination on the per acre 
land value from the market information or an appraisal report used for 
the land transfer action and not the county average per acre land and 
building value from the NASS Census. The BLM believes that when the 
land a grant encumbers is being transferred out of Federal ownership, 
the most accurate and current market data should be used to determine 
the one-time rental payment. For example, for Clark County, Nevada, the 
average per acre land and building value from the 2002 NASS Census is 
$3,567 (Zone 7 on the 2002 Per Acre Rent Schedule or $161.75 per acre 
rent). If an appraisal report for a competitive sale concluded that the 
2002 average per acre land value is instead $175,000 per acre, then the 
annual per acre rent would be $3,235.00 (or Zone 12 on the per acre 
rent schedule). The BLM would not use the actual appraised per acre 
value or the actual per acre sale value to determine the annual per 
acre rent, but instead would use the actual appraised per acre value to 
determine the appropriate zone number on the Per Acre Rent Schedule. 
The zone number then determines the appropriate per acre rent under 
proposed section 2806.25.
    Section 2806.25(d) explains that when no acceptable market 
information is available, and no appraisal has been completed for the 
land transfer action, or when the BLM requests it, you must prepare an 
appraisal report, at your expense, in accordance with Federal appraisal 
standards. The BLM will only require you to prepare an appraisal report 
when other acceptable market data is not available. If you must provide 
an appraisal report, the DOI's

[[Page 70388]]

Appraisal Policy Manual, dated October 1, 2006 sets forth the DOI's 
appraisal policies. Addendum Number 3 to DOI's Appraisal Policy Manual 
specifically provides guidance concerning land valuation, alternative 
methods of valuation, and appraisals prepared by third (i.e., non-
Federal) parties. It is the DOI's policy that all valuation services 
(whether performed by DOI appraisers or by non-DOI appraisers providing 
valuation services under a DOI contract or on behalf of a private third 
party, such as a right-of-way holder) must conform to the current 
Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and the 
current Uniform Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions (USFLA). The 
USPAP, promulgated by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal 
Foundation, is updated and published on a regular basis. The USFLA, 
promulgated by the Interagency Land Acquisition Conference, was last 
published on December 20, 2000.
    If you have provided an appraisal report, the BLM State Director 
will refer it to the DOI's Appraisal Services Directorate (ASD). The 
ASD will review the appraisal report to determine if it meets USPAP and 
USFLA standards and advise the BLM State Director accordingly. The BLM 
State Director will then use the data in the appraisal report to 
determine the zone value and zone number used in the calculation of the 
one-time rent payment provided by paragraphs (a) and (b). If you are 
adversely affected by this decision, you may appeal the rent decision 
under section 2801.10 of this part.
    The BLM specifically requests comments on whether an appraisal 
report, if required, should also address the appropriate EF, in 
addition to determining per acre land values. The EF from an appraisal 
report could be different from the 50 percent used in the Per Acre Rent 
Schedule, depending on the type of facility being authorized (see EF 
discussion earlier in the preamble). (The rate of return (6.47 
percent--see Table 4) would not change, except as provided by section 
2806.22(c)). For example, if the average per acre land and building 
value from the NASS Census is $700 (Zone 3 on the 2002 Per Acre Rent 
Schedule or $32.35 per acre rent) and an appraisal report concluded 
that the 2002 per acre land value is instead $400 per acre (Zone 2 or a 
$50 value), but the appraisal report determines that the EF is 85 
percent, then the annual per acre rent would equal $27.50 ($500 
multiplied by 0.85 multiplied by 6.47 percent). The one-time payment 
would then be determined under paragraph (a) of this section.
    Sections 2806.25(c) and (d) replace sections 2806.20(c) and (d) of 
the current regulations which allowed the BLM to use an alternate means 
to compute your rent, if the rent determined by comparable commercial 
practices or by an appraisal would be ten or more times the rent from 
the schedule. We propose these changes to comply with the Act, which 
requires the BLM to use a Per Acre Rent Schedule based upon land values 
to determine rent for linear right-of-way grants located on public 
land.

Section 2806.26 How may I make rental payments when land encumbered by 
my perpetual easement issued under Sec.  2807.15(c) is being 
transferred out of Federal ownership?

    Section 2806.26(a) addresses the situation where there is an 
existing term or perpetual grant and you ask BLM to convert it to a 
perpetual easement as provided by section 2807.15(c). If you make this 
request, the BLM would treat it as an application for an amendment 
under current section 2807.20. Under this proposal, if the BLM approved 
your request to convert your term or perpetual grant to a perpetual 
easement, the BLM would use the appraisal data from the DOI's Appraisal 
Services Directorate for the land transfer action (i.e., direct or 
indirect land sales, land exchanges, and other land disposal actions) 
and other market information to determine the one-time rental payment 
for perpetual easements.
    Section 2806.26(b) explains that when no appraisal or acceptable 
market information is available for the land transfer action or when 
the BLM requests it, you must prepare a report required under section 
2806.25(d).
    Section 2806.26 is a new section made necessary by the BLM's recent 
policy to provide for perpetual easements to existing right-of-way 
holders who want to convert their term or perpetual grant to an 
easement when the land their grant encumbers is to be transferred out 
of Federal ownership under section 2807.15(c). The BLM has worked 
closely with its right-of-way customers and holders to develop an 
easement document (and policy) which is similar to the easement 
document that a utility company might acquire across private land. 
Under this policy (posted on the Internet at http://www.blm.gov in June 
2007), easements (similar to easements that utility companies would 
acquire for similar purposes across private land) would only be issued 
to you when land your grant encumbers is to be transferred out of 
Federal ownership. Since in these cases the BLM would not administer 
the easement (because the land your easement would encumber would no 
longer be public land), the BLM believes that the one-time payment 
should be determined by an appraisal or acceptable market information 
used to determine the per acre land value for the land disposal action. 
The one-time rental payment determined in this manner would reflect the 
value of the rights transferred to you based upon similar transactions 
in the private sector, and may, or may not, be the same as a one-time 
payment for a perpetual grant determined under section 2806.25(b).
    The term ``right-of-way'' is defined by FLPMA (43 U.S.C. 1702(f)) 
to include easements, leases, permits, or licenses to occupy, use, or 
traverse public lands granted for the purposes listed in Title V of 
FLPMA. Most grants that the BLM issues under FLPMA are set forth on 
standard form 2800-14 and denoted ``Right-of-Way Grant/Temporary Use 
Permit.'' These grants are not regarded as easements by the agency, 
absent some indication to the contrary. Section 506 of FLPMA, 43 U.S.C. 
1766, however, clearly contemplates the issuance of easements and 
provides that any effort to suspend or terminate these instruments be 
accompanied by the procedural safeguards of 5 U.S.C. 554. Please 
specifically comment on the need for perpetual easements when 
encumbered lands are to be transferred out of Federal ownership. The 
nature of a pre-FLPMA instrument for the purposes identified in Title V 
is not easily determined because of the variety of statutes authorizing 
such.
    The provisions of the MLA at 30 U.S.C. 185 do not expressly 
authorize the grant of easements, unlike FLPMA's provisions at 43 
U.S.C. 1702(f), 1761(a), and 1766. Both statutes, however, provide for 
the procedural safeguards of 5 U.S.C. 554 in the event of suspension or 
termination of the authorization. Whether the BLM may issue a term 
easement under the MLA in those circumstances when encumbered land is 
to be transferred out of Federal ownership is an issue on which your 
comments are requested. Please also comment on whether there is a need 
for a term easement in such circumstances and how the one-time rent 
payment should be determined. If the BLM were to issue a term easement 
under the MLA in those circumstances when encumbered land is to be 
transferred out of Federal ownership, we would propose to determine the 
one-time rent payment as described under section 2806.26.

Subpart 2807--Grant Administration and Operation

    The BLM is proposing changes to the section of this subpart that 
deals with administration and operations of grants.

Section 2807.15 How is grant administration affected if the land my 
grant encumbers is transferred to another Federal agency or out of 
Federal ownership?

    This section explains how grant administration is affected if the 
land your grant encumbers is transferred to another Federal agency or 
out of Federal ownership. Proposed section 2807.15 is similar to 
current section 2807.15. In the proposed rule, current paragraph (c) is 
split into paragraphs (c) and (d) to make it clearer.
    Proposed section 2807.15(a) explains that if there is a proposal to 
transfer the land your grant encumbers to another Federal agency, the 
BLM may, after reasonable notice to you, transfer administration of 
your grant for the lands the BLM formerly administered to another 
Federal agency, unless doing so would diminish your rights. If the BLM 
determined your rights would be diminished by such a transfer, the BLM 
can still transfer the land, but retain administration of your grant 
under existing terms and conditions.
    Proposed section 2807.15(b) explains that if there is a proposal to 
transfer the land your grant encumbers out of Federal ownership, the 
BLM may, after reasonable notice to you and in conformance with 
existing policies and procedures:
    (1) Transfer the land subject to your grant. In this case, 
administration of your grant for the lands the BLM formerly 
administered is transferred to the new owner of the land.
    (2) Transfer the land, but the BLM retains administration of your 
grant; or
    (3) Reserve to the United States the land your grant encumbers, and 
the BLM retains administration of your grant.
    Proposed section 2807.15(c) explains that if there is a proposal to 
transfer the land your grant encumbers out of Federal ownership, you 
may negotiate new grant terms and conditions with the BLM. This may 
include increasing the term of your grant, should you request it, to a 
perpetual grant or providing for an easement. These changes would 
become effective prior to the time the land is transferred out of 
Federal ownership.
    Proposed section 2807.15(d) explains that you and the new owner of 
the land may agree to negotiate new grant terms and conditions at any 
time after the land encumbered by your grant is transferred out of 
Federal ownership.
    Current paragraph (c) would be revised to delete the cross 
reference to section 2806.23(c), which specified how you made rental 
payments for perpetual grants. Section 2806.23 would be replaced by 
proposed sections 2806.24, 2806.25, and 2806.26. We removed the cross-
reference to section 2806.23(c) because the cross-reference is no 
longer pertinent to the subject matter of this section. In addition, we 
moved to proposed paragraph (d) and edited for clarification purposes, 
the language in existing paragraph (c) that discusses negotiation of 
new grant terms and conditions. Finally, we added an explanatory 
sentence to paragraph (c) that states that any changes which are 
negotiated between you and the BLM regarding your grant, including 
conversion of your existing term grant to a perpetual grant or 
perpetual easement, are effective prior to the time the land is 
transferred out of Federal ownership.

Part 2880--Rights-of-Way Under The Mineral Leasing Act

Subpart 2885--Terms and Conditions of MLA Grants and TUPs

    This proposal would revise five existing sections of this subpart 
and would add two new sections.

Section 2885.11 What terms and conditions must I comply with?

    Proposed section 2885.11(a) explains that all grants, except those 
issued for a term of 3 years or less, would terminate on December 31 of 
the final year of the grant. Current section 2885.11(a) states that all 
grants with a term of 1 year or longer would terminate on December 31 
of the final year of the grant. This proposed correction would allow 
short-term grants and TUPs to terminate on the day before their 
anniversary date. This revision would provide the holder of a 3-year 
grant or TUP with a full 3-year term to conduct activities authorized 
by the short-term right-of-way grant or TUP, instead of the 2 full 
years plus the partial first year under the current section. Current 
section 2885.21(b) and proposed section 2885.21(c) both explain that 
the BLM considers the first partial calendar year in the initial rent 
payment period to be the first year of the term. Therefore, a 2-year 
grant or TUP, issued under the current regulations, has a term period 
of 2 years plus the time period remaining in the calendar year of 
issuance. A 2-year grant or TUP has a term period of 1 year plus the 
time period remaining in the calendar year of issuance. Depending on 
when the grant or TUP is issued, the actual term could be just over 2 
years for a 3-year grant or TUP and could be just over 1 year for a 2-
year grant or TUP. Under the proposed rule, all grants and TUPs, except 
those issued for a term of 3 years or less would terminate on December 
31 of the final year of the grant or TUP. The proposed changes to this 
section would allow the holder to use short-term grants and TUPs for 
the full period of the grant. For example, if a 3-year grant or TUP 
were issued under the proposed rule on October 1, 2008, it would 
terminate on September 30, 2011, instead of December 31, 2010, under 
the current rule. If a 2-year grant or TUP were issued under the 
proposed rule on October 1, 2008, it would terminate on September 30, 
2010, instead of December 31, 2009, under the current rule. In most 
cases, the BLM would assess a one-time rental bill for the term of the 
grant which would lessen any administrative impact which might 
otherwise result from this revision. This change is also consistent 
with proposed section 2805.11(b)(2). Please refer to the preamble 
discussion for proposed section 2805.11(b)(2) for further information 
on this revision.

Section 2885.12 What rights does a grant or TUP convey?

    Current section 2885.12(e) states that you have a right to assign 
your grant or TUP to another, provided that you obtain the BLM's prior 
written approval. The BLM is proposing to add the phrase ``unless your 
grant or TUP specifically states that such approval is unnecessary'' to 
this section to indicate that the BLM's prior written approval may be 
unnecessary in certain cases. In most cases, assignments would continue 
to be subject to the BLM's written approval. However, with the proposed 
change, the BLM could amend existing grants and TUPs to allow future 
assignments without the BLM's prior written approval. This may be 
especially important to the future administration of a grant when the 
land encumbered by a grant or TUP is being transferred out of Federal 
ownership, and there is a request to increase the term of your grant or 
TUP under section 2886.15(c).

Section 2885.19 What is the rent for a linear right-of-way grant?

    Proposed section 2885.19 would replace current section 2885.19. 
Proposed section 2885.19(a) explains that the BLM would use the Per 
Acre Rent Schedule to calculate the rent. In addition, paragraph (a) 
would explain that counties (or other geographical areas) would be 
assigned to a county

[[Page 70390]]

zone number and per acre zone value based upon their average per acre 
land and building value published in the NASS Census. The initial 
assignment of counties to the zones in the base year (2002) Per Acre 
Rent Schedule would be based upon data contained in the most recent 
NASS Census (2002). Subsequent assignments of counties would occur 
every 5 years following the publication of the NASS Census. Paragraph 
(a) further explains that the Per Acre Rent Schedule would be adjusted 
periodically as follows:
    (1) The BLM would adjust the per acre rent values in section 
2885.19(b) for all types of linear right-of-way facilities in each zone 
each calendar year based on the difference in the CPI-U from January of 
one year to January of the following year.
    (2) The BLM would review the NASS Census data from the 2012 NASS 
Census, and each subsequent 10-year period, and as appropriate, revise 
the number of county zones and the per acre zone values. Any revision 
would include 100 percent of the number of counties and listed 
geographical areas for all states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico 
and would reasonably reflect their average per acre land and building 
values contained in the NASS Census.
    (3) The BLM would revise the Per Acre Rent Schedule at the end of 
calendar year 2011 and at the end of each 10-year period thereafter to 
reflect the average rate of return for the preceding 10-year period for 
the 30-year Treasury bond yield (or the 20-year Treasury bond yield if 
the 30-year Treasury bond yield is not available).
    The above revision mechanisms would replace current paragraphs (b) 
and (c) of section 2885.19.
    Proposed section 2885.19(b) would replace current section 
2885.19(d) and explains that you may obtain a copy of the current Per 
Acre Rent Schedule from any BLM state or field office or by writing to 
the BLM and requesting a copy. The BLM also posts the current rent 
schedule on the BLM Homepage on the Internet at http://www.blm.gov.

Section 2885.20 How will BLM calculate my rent for linear rights-of-way 
the Per Acre Rent Schedule covers?

    Proposed sections 2885.20(a) and (c) are similar to and would 
replace current sections 2885.20(a) and (b), respectively. Proposed 
section 2885.20(a) explains that, except as provided by section 
2885.22, the BLM calculates your rent by multiplying the rent per acre 
for the appropriate county (or other geographical area) zone from the 
current schedule by the number of acres (as rounded up to the nearest 
tenth of an acre) in the right-of-way or TUP area that fall in each 
zone. Under this section you would multiply the result of that 
calculation by the number of years in the rental period. The proposed 
rent calculation methodology is identical to the current rent 
calculation methodology; only the components (average per acre land 
values, county zones, the EF, and rate of return) would be revised. 
Please refer to the preamble discussion for section 2806.23(a) for 
details and examples of how this process would work.
    Proposed section 2885.20(b) explains that if you pay rent annually 
and the payment of your new rental amount would cause you undue 
financial hardship, you may qualify for a one-time, 2-year phase-in 
period. The BLM may require you to submit information to support your 
claim. If the BLM approved the phase-in, payment of the amount in 
excess of the previous year's rent would be phased-in by equal 
increments over a 2-year period. In addition, the BLM would adjust the 
total calculated rent for year 2 of the phase-in period by the annual 
index provided by section 2885.19(a)(1).
    The BLM received six comments in response to the ANPR which 
generally supported a phase-in provision. Three commenters said that 
any rental increases greater than $1,000 should be phased-in over 5 
years. One commenter said that a 6-year phase-in period would be 
appropriate for all rental increases. The commenter suggested no change 
for the first year, followed by five 20 percent annual increases. One 
commenter supported a phase-in period and potential relief from 
increased payment amounts, but offered no specific options.
    The BLM does not agree with the commenters that a phase-in 
provision is always necessary or reasonable when implementing a new or 
revised rent schedule, especially when other existing avenues to 
mitigate large rental increases are available to most holders. Under 
current section 2806.15(c), the BLM State Director may waive or reduce 
your rent payment, if the BLM determines that paying the full rent for 
your FLPMA grant will cause you undue hardship and it is in the public 
interest to waive or reduce your rent. However, this provision is not 
available to holders of MLA authorizations under existing regulations.
    The national average per acre land and building value has increased 
261 percent over the past 20 years (NASS Annual Report, August 2007). 
The BLM is proposing a 266 percent increase in the average annual per 
acre rental fee for the typical grant. Thus, the increase in average 
per acre rent values closely tracts the increase in average per acre 
land values over the past 20 years and should not be unexpected or 
cause undue hardship to most holders. The BLM also realizes that the 
average per acre land values in some states and counties may have 
increased by 500 percent, 1000 percent, or more. These increases are 
substantial, and may cause undue financial hardship to some holders, 
even if they are fully aware of current land values in their local 
area. Therefore, the BLM is proposing a limited one-time, 2-year phase-
in provision which would provide the holders of MLA authorizations 
hardship provisions similar to those currently available to holders of 
FLPMA authorizations.
    The proposed MLA phase-in provision would only apply in situations 
where rent is paid on an annual basis, and the increase in the rental 
fee is so substantial (500 percent or greater increase), that payment 
of the new rental amount would likely cause undue financial hardship. 
In such cases, payment of the amount in excess of the previous year's 
rent would be phased-in by equal increments over a 2-year period. In 
addition, the BLM would adjust the total calculated rent for year two 
of the phase-in period by the annual index provided by section 
2885.19(a)(1). For example, if a right-of-way holder's 2006 annual 
rental was $190 and the new annual rental for 2007 is $1,247 (a 557% 
increase), then the phase-in amount would be $1,057 ($1,247-$190 = 
$1057). Therefore, 2007's rental amount would be $718.50 (2006's rent 
plus half the phase-in amount or $190 + $528.50 = $718.50). If the 
annual index adjustment for 2008 is 3 percent, then the rent for 2008 
would be 2007's assessed rent, plus the remaining equal increment of 
the rental increase, multiplied by 1.03 (which accounts for the 3 
percent annual index adjustment) or $1,284.41 ($718.50 + $528.50 = 
$1,247 x 1.03 = $1,284.41). Table 6 summarizes this phase-in example, 
as well as a second example with another 557 percent increase, a third 
example with a 938 percent increase, and a final example with a 4,291 
percent increase:

    Total rent savings for the 2-year phase-in period in the first 
example above is $528.50; in the second example the rent savings is 
$31,078; in the third example the rent savings is $48,925.50; and in 
the fourth example the rent savings is $3,003. The annual rent for year 
2009 and succeeding years would be 100 percent of the rental amount as 
determined by that year's annual index-adjusted rent schedule.
    The BLM specifically requests comments on whether any phase-in 
provision is necessary, and if so, what alternative information, 
including holder qualifications or thresholds other than the percentage 
increase, might the BLM use to support a longer phase-in period, or to 
support a phase-in model that specifically addresses financial hardship 
due to potentially large rental increases. For example, should the BLM 
allow individuals and/or small business entities to phase-in rent 
payments for increases in the new rental amount of 500 percent (see 
Table 6), while all other holders would have to have their new rental 
amount increase at least 1,000 percent to qualify for the one-time, 2-
year phase-in provision.
    The BLM does not expect the proposed rental increases to be 
financially burdensome for most holders. In 2006, less than 1 percent 
of the total MLA bills would qualify for a phase-in provision based 
upon a minimum increase in rent of 1,000 percent or more over that 
which the holder paid the previous year. Using the 500 percent increase 
standard, only 3.7 percent of the total MLA bills would qualify for the 
phase-in option as proposed. Only 13.9 percent of the total MLA bills 
would qualify for a phase-in option with significantly lesser 
standards, such as a 100 percent or more increase and a rental that 
exceeds $1,000. As such, the BLM believes that a 2 year phase-in 
period, in conjunction with more flexibility in the rental payment 
options (see proposed sections 2806.24 and 2885.21), would provide 
appropriate relief from any large, unexpected increases in rental 
payments that are due to implementation of the revised linear rent 
schedule.
    Finally, proposed section 2885.20(c) explains that if the BLM has 
not previously used the rent schedule to calculate your rent, we may do 
so after giving you reasonable written notice.

Section 2885.21 How must I make rental payments for a linear grant or 
TUP?

    Proposed section 2885.21(a) explains that for TUPs you must make a 
one-time nonrefundable payment for the term of the TUP. For grants, 
except those which have been issued in perpetuity, you must make either 
nonrefundable annual payments or a nonrefundable payment for more than 
1 year, as follows:
    (1) One-time payments. You may pay in advance the total rent amount 
for the entire term of the grant or any remaining years;
    (2) Multiple payments. If you choose not to make a one-time 
payment, you must pay according to one of the following methods:
    (i) Payments by individuals. If your annual rent is $100 or less, 
you must pay at 10-year intervals not to exceed the term of the grant. 
If your annual rent is greater than $100, you may pay annually or at 
10-year intervals, not to exceed the term of the grant. For example, if 
you have a grant with a remaining term of 30 years, you may pay in 
advance for 10 years, 20 years, or 30 years, but not any other multi-
year period.
    (ii) Payments by all others. If your annual rent is $1,000 or less, 
you must pay rent at 10-year intervals, not to exceed the term of the 
grant. If your annual rent is greater than $1,000, you may pay annually 
or at 10-year intervals, not to exceed the term of the grant.
    Proposed section 2885.21(a) would replace the rent payment options 
found in current section 2885.21(a). The primary difference is that 
under proposed section 2885.21(a), individuals that hold a grant with 
an annual rent greater than $100 would have the option to pay annually 
or at 10-year intervals, not to exceed the term of the grant. For 
example, if you have a grant with a term of 30 years, you may pay in 
advance for 10 years, 20 years, or 30 years, but not any other multi-
year period. Currently, individuals that hold a grant with an annual 
rent greater than $100 would have the option to pay annually or for any 
multi-year period. The BLM is proposing this change to make the rent 
payment options for individuals consistent with those available to non-
individuals, except for the annual threshold levels of $100 and $1,000, 
respectively. Please refer to the preamble discussion for proposed 
section 2806.24(a) for further rationale for these revisions and 
examples of various rent payment periods.
    Proposed section 2885.21(b) explains how you must make rent 
payments for perpetual grants issued prior to November 16, 1973, except 
as provided by proposed section 2885.22(b). Current section 2885.21 did 
not recognize that MLA grants issued prior to November 16, 1973, could 
have been issued for any term period, including a perpetual term. Under 
the MLA, grants issued after November 16, 1973, have a maximum term of 
30 years. We added proposed section 2885.21(b) to explain that if you 
have an existing perpetual grant, you must make either nonrefundable 
annual payments or a nonrefundable payment for more than 1 year, as 
follows:
    (1) Payments by individuals. If your annual rent is $100 or less, 
you must pay at 10-year intervals, not to exceed 30 years. If your 
annual rent is greater than $100, you may pay annually or at 10-year 
intervals, not to exceed 30 years.

[[Page 70392]]

    (2) Payments by all others. If your annual rent is $1,000 or less, 
you must pay rent at 10-year intervals, not to exceed 30 years. If your 
annual rent is greater than $1,000, you may pay annually or at 10-year 
intervals, not to exceed 30 years.
    Proposed section 2885.21(c) is nearly identical to current section 
2885.21(b). This section explains that the BLM considers the first 
partial calendar year in the initial rent payment period to be the 
first year of the term. The BLM prorates the first year rental amount 
based on the number of months left in the calendar year after the 
effective date of the grant.

Section 2885.22 How may I make rental payments when land encumbered by 
my perpetual linear grant is being transferred out of Federal 
ownership?

    Proposed section 2885.22 explains how you would make one-time 
rental payments for your perpetual linear grant when land encumbered by 
your perpetual grant is being transferred out of Federal ownership.
    Proposed section 2885.22(a) explains how the BLM would determine a 
one-time rent payment for perpetual MLA grants issued prior to November 
16, 1973, when land encumbered by your grant is being transferred out 
of Federal ownership. If you have a perpetual grant and the land your 
grant encumbers is being transferred out of Federal ownership, you may 
choose to make a one-time rental payment. The BLM will determine the 
one-time payment for perpetual right-of-way grants by dividing the 
current annual rent for the subject property by an overall 
capitalization rate calculated from market data. The overall 
capitalization rate is the difference between a market yield rate and a 
percent annual rent increase as described in the formula below. The 
formula for this calculation is: One-time payment = annual rent/(Y - 
CR), where:

(1) Annual rent = current annual rent applicable to a subject 
property from the Per Acre Rent Schedule;
(2) Y = yield rate (rate of return) determined by the most recent 
10-year average of the annual 30-Year Treasury Bond Rate as of 
January of each year; and
(3) CR = annual percent change in rent as determined by the most 
recent 10-year average of the difference in the CPI-U Index from 
January of one year to January of the following year.

    The annual rent would be determined from the Per Acre Rent Schedule 
(see section 2885.19(b)), as updated under section 2885.19(a)(1), (2), 
and (3) of this chapter. However, the per acre zone value and zone 
number used in the annual rental determination would be based on the 
per acre value from acceptable market information or an appraisal, if 
any, for the land transfer action and not the county average per acre 
land and building value from the NASS Census.
    When no acceptable market information is available and no appraisal 
has been completed for the land transfer action, or when the BLM 
requests it, you must prepare an appraisal report as required under 
section 2806.25(d) of this chapter.
    Please refer to the preamble discussion for proposed section 
2806.25 for additional details regarding one-time rent payments for 
perpetual grants when the land your grant encumbers is being 
transferred out of Federal ownership.

Subpart 2886--Operations on MLA Grants and TUPs

    The BLM is proposing changes to one section of this subpart that 
deals with administration and operations of grants and TUPs.

Section 2886.15 How is grant or TUP administration affected if the BLM 
land may grant or TUP encumbers is transferred to another Federal 
agency or out of Federal ownership?

    This section would explain how grant administration is affected if 
the BLM land your grant encumbers is transferred to another Federal 
agency or out of Federal ownership. Proposed section 2886.15 is similar 
to current section 2886.15. In the proposed rule, current paragraph (c) 
is split into paragraphs (c) and (d) to make it clearer.
    Proposed section 2886.15(c) explains that if there is a proposal to 
transfer BLM the land your grant encumbers out of Federal ownership, 
you may negotiate new grant terms and conditions with the BLM. This may 
include increasing the term of your grant, should you request it, to a 
30-year term or replacing your TUP with a grant. These changes would 
become effective prior to the time the land is transferred out of 
Federal ownership.
    Proposed section 2886.15(d) explains that you and the new owner of 
the land may agree to negotiate new grant terms and conditions at any 
time after the land encumbered by your grant or TUP is transferred out 
of Federal ownership.

Subpart 2888--Trespass

    This rule would revise one section of this subpart having to do 
with trespass.

Section 2888.10 What is trespass?

    Proposed section 2888.10 is identical to current section 2888.10 
except for a minor edit to paragraph (c). Proposed section 2888.10(c) 
does not include the previous reference in section 2888.10 that the 
rental exemption provisions of part 2800 do not apply to grants issued 
under this part. This reference is no longer necessary because we added 
language to proposed section 2806.14(b), which explains that the rent 
exemptions listed in proposed section 2806.14 do not apply if you are 
in trespass. This would include trespass actions covered under proposed 
section 2888.10. Please refer to the preamble discussion for proposed 
section 2806.14(b) for further details on the reasons for this change.

PART 2920--LEASES, PERMITS, AND EASEMENTS

Subpart 2920--Lease, Permits, and Easements: General Provisions

    The rule would revise two sections of this subpart having to do 
with reimbursement of costs and with fees.

Section 2920.6 Reimbursement of Costs

    Current section 2920.6(b) would be revised to delete from the 
second sentence the phrase ``except that any permit whose total rental 
is less than $250 shall be exempt from reimbursement of costs 
requirements.'' Proposed section 2920.6(b) explains that the 
reimbursement of costs for authorizations issued under part 2920 would 
be in accordance with the provisions of sections 2804.14 and 2805.16, 
which provide for the reimbursement of processing and monitoring costs. 
Previously, any permit whose total rent was less than $250 would have 
been exempt from reimbursement of processing and monitoring costs.

Section 2920.8 Fees

    Current section 2920.8(b) provides that each request for renewal, 
transfer, or assignment of a lease or easement be accompanied by a non-
refundable processing fee of $25. Also, the authorized officer may 
waive or reduce this fee for requests for permit renewals which can be 
processed with a minimal amount of work. Proposed section 2920.8(b) 
would amend the current section by making each request for renewal, 
transfer, or assignment of a lease or easement subject to both a non-
refundable processing and monitoring fee determined in accordance with 
section 2804.14 and section 2805.16. The second sentence of the current 
section, which allows the authorized officer to waive or reduce this 
fee for permit renewals, would be deleted because fees for actions 
processed with a minimal amount of work are

[[Page 70393]]

accounted for in current sections 2804.14 and 2805.16. These revisions 
are corrections to the 2005 right-of-way rule which established a 
schedule for processing and monitoring fees for applications and grants 
issued under parts 2800, 2880, and 2920. These revisions are necessary 
to provide the correct cross references to the appropriate processing 
and monitoring fees found in sections 2804.14 and 2805.16 for actions 
taken under part 2920.

IV. Procedural Matters

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review

    In accordance with the criteria in Executive Order 12866, this rule 
is not a significant regulatory action. The Office of Management and 
Budget will make the final determination as to its significance under 
Executive Order 12866.
    a. This rule would not have an annual effect of $100 million or 
more on the economy. It would not adversely affect in a material way 
the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public 
health or safety, or state, local, or tribal governments or 
communities. A cost-benefit and economic analysis has not been 
prepared. However, the following economic analysis and calculations 
supports this conclusion.
    Estimated Economic Effects. The rule could potentially increase 
rental revenues collected by the BLM and conversely, increase costs to 
grant holders, by an estimated maximum of $14.7 million each year (plus 
annual CPI-U adjustments).
Background
    The definition of the baseline is an important step in evaluating 
the economic effects of a regulation. The baseline is taken to be the 
regulations currently in place. A baseline assumption is that under the 
status quo, right-of-way activity on Federal lands would continue at 
least at current levels. Given that the proposed regulation 
incorporates many suggestions received from industry on the ANPR, 
continued right-of-way activity on Federal lands seems a reasonable 
assumption.
Current Right-of-Way Activity
    In 2006 the BLM administered 10,859 rights-of-way subject to linear 
rent, held by over 1,600 entities, covering approximately 329,000 acres 
in 15 states. Some right-of-way holders have a single grant, while 
others hold hundreds of individual grants. Individual right-of-way 
holdings may be as small as 0.01 acre or larger than 22,000 acres. The 
top 18 grant-holders (by acreage) account for more than one-half of the 
total acreage. Eighty percent of the total right-of-way acreage is held 
by about four percent of all grant-holders, while the smallest 1,000 
grant-holders account for less than one percent of total right-of-way 
acreage. The breakdown by rental payments is similar to the breakdown 
by acreage.
Original Rent Schedule
    The original 1987 rent schedule was intended to reduce the need for 
individual appraisals, establish consistent rationale for determination 
of rental, reduce the differences between procedures used by the FS and 
the BLM, resolve conflicts which led to numerous appeals of rental 
determinations, and reduce both government and industry administrative 
costs. The right-of-way rental rates assessed in 2006 were derived from 
the 1987 rule's schedule, presented in Tables 7 and 8.

[[Page 70394]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TP11DE07.004

    Zone rent for 2006 is based on zone rent for 1987. Zone rent per 
acre for 1987 is found by determining the correct zone for a right-of-
way, then multiplying the zone value (i.e., the upper bracket for land 
values per acre within a zone) by the EF (70 percent for electric and 
telephone lines; 80 percent for energy-related pipelines and roads) and 
the return on investment (6.41 percent). This 1987 zone rent is 
converted to 2006 zone rent using the change in the IPD-GDP between 
1987 and 2006 (approximately a 57 percent increase).
Proposed Rent Schedule
    The zone brackets in the updated schedule are set to accommodate 
all U.S. counties and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, based upon their 
average per acre land and building value published in the most recent 
NASS Census. The average per acre land and building values for the 
3,080 counties identified in the NASS Census, range from a low of $75 
to a high of nearly $100,000. Table 9 shows the zone brackets for the 
twelve zones in the proposed rule.

$50,001 to $100,000......................  Zone 12.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Each of the 3,080 counties identified in the NASS Census is 
assigned to a zone, based on the average per acre land and building 
value as determined by the most recent NASS Census. At the time of this 
proposed regulation, the most current NASS Census provides 2002 data. 
The next NASS Census will provide 2007 data, and is due to be published 
in 2009.
Determining Right-of-Way Rent
    Proposed annual right-of-way rent for 2002 is based on the 
following factors:
    1. Schedule zone, determined by the right-of-way county's 2002 
average per acre land and building value;
    2. EF (set at 50 percent for all linear rights-of-way);
    3. Government's rate of return, set at the average of the 30-year 
Treasury bond rate, taken over the previous ten years from the date of 
the NASS Census land and building value; and
    4. Total acreage within the right-of-way area.
    The zone rent is adjusted annually by the change in the Gross 
Domestic Product, Implicit Price Deflator index.
    Table 10 shows the calculation of the right-of-way rental rate for 
each zone for the 2002 base rent year. The annual per acre rental rate 
is determined by multiplying the county zone value (upper limit) by the 
EF and the rate of return. The EF is a measure of the degree that a 
particular type of facility encumbers a right-of-way area or excludes 
other types of land uses and is set at 50 percent. The rate of return 
represents the return the Government could reasonably expect for the 
use of public assets, and is set at the average of the 30-year Treasury 
bond taken over the previous ten years from the most recent NASS Census 
data. Given current NASS Census data from 2002, the 30-year Treasury 
bond has a 10-year average (1992-2001) of 6.47 percent. Table 5 also 
displays the per acre rent values for each county zone for the 2002 
base year and each subsequent year after application of the annual 
index.

*Per acre right-of-way rent for one year calculated assuming a 50
  percent EF and 6.47 percent rate of return.

    The total amount a right-of-way grant holder is billed also depends 
on the number of acres within the right-of-way area that fall within 
each zone and the years in the rent payment period. Once the per acre 
rent has been determined for a particular right-of-way, this amount is 
multiplied by the total acreage in the right-of-way, and by the number 
of years in the rent payment period.
Phase-in Provision
    The BLM has included a limited one-time, 2-year phase-in provision 
in the proposed rule for MLA authorizations. If a right-of-way grant 
holder pays rent annually and the payment of the new rental amount 
would cause the holder undue financial hardship, the holder may qualify 
for a one-time, 2-year phase-in period. The BLM may require the holder 
to submit information to support its claim. If approved by the BLM, 
payment of the amount in excess of the previous year's rent may be 
phased-in by equal increments over a 2-year period. In addition, the 
BLM will adjust the total calculated rent for year two of the phase-in 
period by the annual index provided by section 2885.19(a)(1).
Estimated Impacts of the Proposed Schedule
    The proposed increase in rental fees could potentially impact all 
holders of right-of-way grants, as well as the energy industry and, 
ultimately, energy consumers. To the extent that right-of-way grant-
holders continue to maintain facilities on public land whose value has 
increased since 1987, there will also be an increase in rental fees to 
the U.S. Treasury. Some of the increase in fees may be passed on to 
energy consumers in the form of higher utility bills, but we expect 
that if there is any increase, as explained below, it will be minimal.
    Tierney and Hibbard (2006) conducted a study (see Tierney, S.F., 
and Hibbard, P.J., 2006, Energy Policy Act Section 1813 Comments: 
Report of the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation for 
Submission to the U.S. Departments of Energy and Interior, Boston, MA) 
of the contribution of right-of-way costs to end-user energy prices, 
finding that:
    1. Right-of-way costs in general are a minor component of regulated 
electric transmission and gas transportation rates, regardless of how 
land value changes by location or with time;
    2. When viewed from the perspective of end-use consumer prices, the 
costs to acquire rights-of-way are de minimis; and
    3. In the case of gas markets and competitive electricity markets, 
changes to right-of-way costs generally affect commodity supplier 
profits, not retail prices.
    Based on this analysis, there will likely be no significant impact 
on consumers as a result of the changes this rule would make to 
existing regulations.
Estimated Costs under the Proposed Schedule
    The expected response to an increase in a good's price is a 
decrease in the quantity demanded of that good. Thus, if the net effect 
of the proposed regulation is to raise a right-of-way grant holder's 
full cost of maintaining a right-of-way on public land, it would be 
reasonable to predict a decrease in the number of right-of-way 
applications. Nevertheless, given the finding by Tierney and Hibbard 
(2006) that right-of-way costs in general (not restricted to Federal 
lands) are a minor portion of total energy transportation costs, no 
significant decrease in energy right-of-way activity is expected. The 
BLM also believes for the same reasons that no significant decrease in 
non-energy right-of-way activity would occur due to the proposed 
increase in right-of-way costs.
    Assuming that right-of-way activity is relatively insensitive to 
the rental fee, it is possible to estimate the payments that would have 
been due to the BLM (U.S. Treasury) in FY 2006 had the proposed 
schedule been in effect. The following analyses are based on data from 
the BLM's automated lands billing system (Land and Realty Authorization 
Module).
    In 2006, the BLM issued bills for 10,859 linear right-of-way 
grants. More than half of these bills were for rent payment periods of 
5 years or more. The total amount billed for these linear grants was 
$6.3 million. Had these rights-of-way been paid under the new schedule 
(for the same rent payment

[[Page 70396]]

periods), the total collected would have been $21 million, an increase 
of approximately $14.7 million, or 233 percent. The BLM expects that it 
would continue to issue approximately the same number of bills for the 
same number of annual authorizations each year, while the number of 
bills for multi-year rental payments would continue to decline. It is 
expected that those authorizations with annual rental payments in 
excess of $1,000 would continue to be billed on an annual basis, 
although the holder would have the option to pay for ten-year terms or 
the entire term of the grant. Under the proposed rule, the holder would 
have to pay for a minimum 10-year period if the annual rental payment 
is $1,000 or less for a non-individual or $100 or less for an 
individual. Under the 1987 regulations, the maximum rental payment term 
was 5 years. The 2005 rule requires the holder to pay for the term of 
the grant, or at 10-year intervals, unless the holder is an individual 
whose annual rent is greater than $100, in which case, annual payments 
can be made.
    Table 11 lists the 15 states and the total linear right-of-way 
acreage within each state that was billed for rent in 2006. If this 
acreage (329,000) were billed on just an annual basis, the total rent 
assessed using the current Per Acre Rent Schedule and current 
regulations would be $4,623,420. If this same acreage were assessed 
annual rent in 2006 using the proposed Per Acre Rent Schedule, the 
total rent would be $16,348,250, an increase of $11,724,830. Changes in 
rental payments are due in large part to changes in land values 
underlying the rights-of-way which have occurred since the current per 
acre rent schedule was implemented in 1987. According to the 2006 NASS 
annual report, between 1987 and 2006 U.S. per acre farm real estate 
values increased by 217 percent on average. Table 11 illustrates a 
proposed increase in annual rent payments of 254 percent, which tracks 
well with the changes in land values in the United States over the last 
20 years.

    Table 12 provides the percent change in land values and the percent 
change in rent receipts for the fourteen counties having over 5,000 
billed acres in rights-of-way, as of 2006. Taken together, these 
fourteen counties account for over 49 percent of all right-of-way acres 
billed by the BLM in 2006, and over 55 percent of the rent collected 
for 2006. San Bernardino County, California (see Table 12), is a good 
example of how land values in some counties have risen dramatically in 
the last twenty years. This southern California county had 23,367 acres 
of public land encumbered by authorized right-of-way facilities which 
were billed for rent in 2006 using the current rent schedule. The 
current schedule is based on a 1987 land value of $200 per acre for San 
Bernardino County, meaning that these holdings were valued at a total 
of $4.7 million in 1987. Applying the IPD-GDP factor used in the 
current schedule increases the value of this land to $6.7 million in 
2002. The 2002 NASS land and building data lists San Bernardino County 
at $2,144 per acre, for a total value of $50.1 million. This data 
indicates that in this example the government is basing linear right-
of-way rents on only 13.4 percent of the 2002 land value, largely due 
to the rapid increase in land values in southern California since 1987. 
Furthermore, the NASS annual reports show that between 2002 and 2006 
farm real estate values have increased an average of 57 percent 
nationwide. A continued trend of rising real estate values would lead 
to further undervaluation by the current schedule. As a result, had the 
BLM used the proposed Per Acre Rent Schedule to assess rent for linear 
right-of-way acres in San Bernardino County in FY 2006, rental receipts 
would have increased more than 600 percent (see Table 12).
    In contrast, land values in most counties in New Mexico and 
Wyoming, where the majority of linear rights-of-way are located, have 
increased at a much slower rate than the national average. Had the 
proposed rent schedule been in effect for 2006, most counties in these 
two states would experience only modest increases in rents due. For 
example, in San Juan County, New Mexico, where between 1987 and 2006 
the value of land has increased by over 200 percent, rents would 
increase by 122 percent. In Sweetwater County, Wyoming, where between 
1987 (per BLM's per acre rent schedule) and 2006 (per the NASS Census 
data) land values have actually fallen, rents would be almost flat, 
increasing by only 14 percent. These lower land values in New Mexico 
and Wyoming would result in only a 74 percent and a 106 percent 
increase, respectively, in the total rental receipts, statewide, for 
2006 (as compared to a 513 percent increase for California and a 254 
percent increase for all BLM states) when using the proposed Per Acre 
Rent Schedule as

[[Page 70397]]

compared with the total rental receipts for 2006 when using the current 
Per Acre Rent Schedule (see Table 11).

\a\ Entries for Clark County do not include rights-of-way in Clark County ``unique zones''.
\b\ 1987 Assigned Land Value for Clark County ``unique zones'' is a weighted average across all 8 unique zones.
\c\ Land Values (Total) are a weighted average across all 14 counties and 8 ``unique zones''.

    While the land values in certain counties in New Mexico and Wyoming 
increased modestly from 1987 to 2002, the land values in Clark County, 
Nevada, as shown in Table 12, increased dramatically (7,034 percent) 
during this time period. Much of this increase can be attributed to the 
tremendous growth rate and demand for undeveloped land in and 
surrounding Las Vegas, Nevada, the largest city in Clark County as well 
as the state of Nevada. In recognition of these higher land values in 
the Las Vegas area, a ``unique zone'' Per Acre Rent Schedule with eight 
zones whose land values ranged from $4,000 to $75,000 per acre was 
established in 1987 by the 1987 regulations. The annual per acre rent 
values ranged from $280 to $6,000 (in 2006). The BLM uses the ``unique 
zone'' Per Acre Rent Schedule (see Section II Background of this 
preamble for additional information on the ``unique zone'' Per Acre 
Rent Schedule) to assess rent ($920,227 in 2006) for 81 rights-of-way 
in the Las Vegas area which were granted within the ``unique zone'' 
areas prior to 2002. In addition, another 225 rights-of-way are located 
within the Las Vegas ``unique zone'' area, but the BLM uses the 1987 
Per Acre Rent Schedule to determine annual rent for these rights-of-way 
in accordance with Washington Office Instruction Memorandum 2002-172. 
Had the BLM used the ``unique zone'' rates to determine rent for these 
225 grants, an additional $2.56 million would have been collected in 
2006 (based on an average rent payment of $11,360 for each of the 81 
right-of-ways subject to the ``unique zone'' rates in 2006). So instead 
of $45,210 in assessed rent for linear rights-of-way in Clark County 
for 2006, as shown in Table 12, a more appropriate figure for 
comparison purposes, using the ``unique zone'' rates for all 306 
rights-of-way located within these high land value areas, would be 
approximately $3.5 million. Under the proposed Per Acre Rent Schedule, 
that figure would then decrease to $2.04 million, resulting in a 146 
percent decrease in rental receipts, instead of the 4,784 percent 
increase as shown in Table 12.
    In summary, the proposed rule could potentially increase rental 
revenues collected by the BLM and conversely, increase costs to grant 
holders, by an estimated maximum of $14.7 million each year (plus 
annual CPI-U adjustments) when all authorizations and rent payment 
periods are considered (using 2006 as a sample year). For 2006, the BLM 
assessed rent for rights-of-way on 329,000 acres of public land. If 
this acreage were billed only on an annual basis, the BLM would have 
assessed rent in the amount of $4,623,420 using the current Per Acre 
Rent Schedule. Under the proposed rule, the BLM would assess rent in 
the amount of $16,348,250, an increase of $11,724,830. These proposed 
increases in rental receipts would reasonably reflect the increase in 
land values which have occurred from 1987 to the present.
    In addition to revising the current Per Acre Rent Schedule, the 
proposed rule would make minor revisions to parts 2800 and 2880 to make 
existing regulations consistent with the statutory rent schedule 
changes discussed above. There are also a number of minor corrections 
and changes in the proposed rule that are not directly related to the 
rent schedule. These proposed changes are limited in scope and address 
trespass penalties, new rent payment options (including how one-time 
payments are to be determined for perpetual right-of-way grants and 
easements), annual rental payments, phased-in rental increases, and 
reimbursements of monitoring costs and processing fees for leases and 
permits issued under 43 CFR part 2920. These latter items would correct 
some existing errors in the current regulations and clarify others. All 
these changes are within the scope of the BLM's existing authority to 
administer rights-of-way under the FLPMA and the MLA and

[[Page 70398]]

would have only minor economic impact.
    b. This rule would not create serious inconsistencies or otherwise 
interfere with other agencies' actions. Since 1987, the BLM and the FS 
have both used the same Per Acre Rent Schedule to establish rent for 
linear right-of-way facilities located on public land and NFS land. The 
Act requires both the BLM and the FS to make the same revisions to the 
1987 per acre rental fee zone value schedule by state, county, and type 
of linear right-of-way use to reflect current values of land in each 
zone. The BLM has worked closely with the FS in assuring the maximum 
consistency possible between the policies of the two agencies with 
respect to approving and administering linear rights-of-way, including 
the assessment of rent for these facilities. The FS plans to adopt the 
BLM Per Acre Rent Schedule.
    c. The proposed rule would not materially affect entitlements, 
grants, user fees, loan programs, or the rights and obligations of 
their recipients. This rule does increase rental fees, but only in 
amounts necessary to ensure compliance with the Act. The increases in 
rental fees would not be retroactive, but they would apply to new 
authorizations and to existing grant-holders who hold grants subject to 
rent at the grant's next rental due payment period. Flexible rent 
payment options and phase-in provisions would significantly lessen any 
impact that increased rental fees may have on grant-holders. Rent 
exemption and reduction provisions found in the current rule would 
still apply. However, the proposed rule clarifies that if an entity is 
found to be in trespass on public land, the rental exemptions and/or 
waiver of rent provisions would not apply to settlement of the trespass 
action.
    d. The proposed rule would not raise novel legal or policy issues. 
The Act requires the BLM and the FS to update and revise current per 
acre rent schedules to reflect current land values. Both agencies 
currently collect rental fees for linear rights-of-way using a per acre 
rent schedule established in 1987. The Act did not specify how to 
revise the land values or what data should be used. The proposed rule 
would use average per acre land and building values published every 5 
years in the NASS Census. Other Federal and state agencies regularly 
use the NASS Census data when necessary to use average per acre land 
values for a particular state or county. Congress, likewise, endorsed 
the use of this data for rental determination purposes when it passed 
the ``National Forest Organizational Camp Fee Improvement Act of 2003'' 
(Pub. L. 108-7) (16 U.S.C. 6232). The BLM believes that the rental fees 
arrived at by the use of the NASS Census data is the most efficient and 
reasonable method to revise the current Per Acre Rent Schedule, as well 
as to meet other mandates under the FLPMA and the MLA that require that 
the U.S. receive fair market value of the use of the public lands.

Clarity of the Regulations

    Executive Order 12866 requires each agency to write regulations 
that are simple and easy to understand. We invite your comments on how 
to make these proposed regulations easier to understand, including 
answers to questions such as the following:
    1. Are the requirements in the proposed regulations clearly stated?
    2. Do the proposed regulations contain technical language or jargon 
that interferes with their clarity?
    3. Does the format of the proposed regulations (grouping and order 
of sections, use of headings, paragraphing, etc.) aid or reduce their 
clarity?
    4. Would the regulations be easier to understand if they were 
divided into more (but shorter) sections? (A ``section'' appears in 
bold type and is preceded by the symbol ``Sec.  '' and a numbered 
heading, for example: Sec.  2806.20 What is the rent for a linear 
right-of-way grant).
    5. Is the description of the proposed regulations in the 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this preamble helpful in 
understanding the proposed regulations? How could this description be 
more helpful in making the proposed regulations easier to understand?
    Please send any comments you have on the clarity of the regulations 
to the address specified in the ADDRESSES section.

National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)

    The BLM has determined that this proposed rule, which primarily 
updates the current linear rent schedule, is of an administrative, 
financial, and/or procedural nature whose environmental effects is too 
broad, speculative, or conjectural to lend itself to meaningful 
analysis and will later be subject to the NEPA process, either 
collectively or case-by-case. Therefore, it is categorically excluded 
from environmental review under section 102(2)(C) of the NEPA, pursuant 
to 516 Departmental Manual (DM), Chapter 2, Appendix 1, Number 1.10. 
Updates to the current linear rent schedule also qualify as a 
categorical exclusion under Number 1.3 of the same appendix. Number 1.3 
categorically excludes ``[r]outine financial transactions including 
such things as salaries and expenses * * * fees, bonds, and 
royalties.'' In addition, the proposed rule does not meet any of the 12 
criteria for extraordinary circumstances listed in 516 DM, Chapter 2, 
Appendix 2. Pursuant to Council on Environmental Quality regulations 
(40 CFR 1508.4) and the environmental policies and procedures of the 
Department of the Interior, the term ``categorical exclusions'' means a 
category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a 
significant effect on the human environment and that have been found to 
have no such effect in procedures adopted by a Federal agency and for 
which neither an environmental assessment nor an environmental impact 
statement is required.
    We have also examined this rule to determine whether it requires 
consultation under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) (16 
U.S.C. 1532). The ESA requires an agency to consult with the Fish and 
Wildlife Service or National Marine Fisheries Service to insure that 
any action it authorizes, funds, or carries out is not likely to 
jeopardize the continued existence of any listed species or result in 
the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat.
    We have determined that this rule will have no effect on listed or 
proposed species or on designated or proposed critical habitat under 
the ESA and therefore consultation under section 7 of the ESA is not 
required. Our determination is based in part on the fact that nothing 
in the rule changes existing processes and procedures that ensure the 
protection of listed or proposed species or designated or proposed 
critical habitat. Existing processes and procedures have been in effect 
since BLM promulgated right-of-way regulations in 1979-80. Any further 
compliance with the ESA will occur when an application for a right-of-
way is filed with BLM.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Congress enacted the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), as 
amended, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, to ensure that Government regulations do not 
unnecessarily or disproportionately burden small entities. The RFA 
requires a regulatory flexibility analysis if a rule would have a 
significant economic impact, either detrimental or beneficial, on a 
substantial number of small entities. The BLM has estimated that 
approximately 18 percent of all applicants and grantees (approximately

[[Page 70399]]

5 percent of MLA applicants and grantees and approximately 23 percent 
of FLPMA applicants and grantees) may qualify as small entities. As 
discussed above, rental fees, in most cases, are not a significant cost 
for the industries impacted, including small entities.
    Table 13 shows the small business size standards for industries 
that may be affected by these rules. This table lists industry size 
standards for eligibility for Small Business Administration (SBA) 
programs from SBA regulations (see 13 CFR 121.201). The SBA size 
standards are typically stated either as the average number of 
employees, or the average annual receipts of a business concern. 
Standards are grouped using the North American Industrial 
Classification System 2002 (NAICS). This listing is based on 
descriptions from the U.S. Bureau of the Census 2002 NAICS codes and is 
not exhaustive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Firm, including affiliates, is primarily engaged in generation,
  transmission, or distribution of electric energy for sale, and total
  electric output for the preceding fiscal year <= 4 million megawatt-
  hours.

    The BLM does not officially track right-of-way costs, but grant 
holders in 2003 estimated that construction costs for pipeline 
facilities were between $300,000 (12'' pipeline) to $1.5 million per 
mile (36'' pipeline); construction costs for rocked logging roads were 
between $40,000/mile for a ridge top road to $150,000/mile for a full 
bench road or an average of $70,000/mile for a road through moderate 
terrain; and construction costs for electric distribution and 
transmission lines were between $24,000/mile (24kV distribution line) 
to $1 million/mile (500kV transmission line). Larger projects would 
typically require more land area to site than minor projects. Since 
rent is based on the number of acres that the right-of-way facility 
encumbers, larger projects would also involve higher rental payments 
than would minor projects. However, compared to the cost of 
constructing a typical right-of-way facility, total rent and the rental 
fee increases under the proposed rule are relatively small (see 70 FR 
21056 for further information on typical project costs).
    Any of the industries listed in Table 13 may hold right-of-way 
grants with the BLM, under either FLPMA or MLA, as a part of their 
business practices. For example, bulk electric power transmission firms 
will use rights-of-way to distribute their electricity. Firms may be 
eligible for various SBA programs, but the size-limit is specific to 
each industry, and identified by the industry codes. The limit may be 
based on gross sales, the number of employees, or other factors. It is 
estimated that about 5.3 percent (or 1,416 of 26,711) of existing MLA 
grantees may be eligible for SBA programs and about 22.9 percent (or 
14,280 of 62,358) of FLPMA grantees may be eligible for SBA programs 
(see 70 FR 21056). Whether they choose to join the SBA programs is 
strictly an individual firm's decision.
    The proportion of grantees eligible for SBA programs indicates that 
there is an opportunity for small businesses in BLM's right-of-way 
program. However, the burden of increased rental fees is not expected 
to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities or fall disproportionately on small businesses. Moreover, any 
entity which believes that it might be adversely affected by the rental 
fee increases to its FLPMA right-of-way grant may qualify for a waiver 
or reduction of rental fees under any of the provisions, including 
hardship, found at 43 CFR 2806.15. Therefore, the BLM has determined 
under the RFA that this proposed rule would not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA)

    The proposed rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined at 5 U.S.C. 
804(2). This rule:
    a. Would not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million 
or more. See the Executive Order 12866 discussion above.
    b. Would not result in major cost or price increases for consumers, 
industries, government agencies, or regions. As discussed above, when 
compared to the cost of constructing a right-of-way project, the rental 
fee increases contained in this proposed rule are relatively small and 
therefore should not cause any major increase in costs or prices. In 
addition, any applicant or holder of an FLPMA authorization that 
believes that the rental fee increases will cause difficulty may 
benefit from the rent waiver or reduction provisions under 43 CFR 
2806.15, especially the hardship provision.
    c. Would not have significant adverse effects on competition, 
employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or the ability of 
U.S.-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based enterprises. The 
rule should result in no change in any of the above factors. See the 
Executive Order 12866 discussion above regarding the economic effects 
of the proposed rental fee increases. In

[[Page 70400]]

general, the rental fee increases would be small in comparison with the 
overall costs of constructing, maintaining, operating, and terminating 
large projects located within right-of-way areas. With the possible 
exception of MLA grants for pipelines, the projects located on right-
of-way grants support domestic, not foreign, activities and do not 
involve products and services which are exported. The MLA pipelines may 
transport oil and gas and their related products destined for foreign 
markets, but the proposed increase in rental fees, compared to the cost 
of, and profits from, running an oil and gas pipeline that would feed 
into a foreign market, is minimal.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    This proposed rule does not impose an unfunded mandate on state, 
local, or tribal governments, in the aggregate, or the private sector, 
of $100 million or more per year; nor does this proposed rule have a 
significant or unique effect on small governments. The rule would 
impose no requirements approaching $100 million annually on any of 
these entities. We have already shown, in the previous paragraphs of 
this section of the preamble, that the changes proposed in this rule 
would not have effects approaching $100 million per year on the 
economy. Therefore, BLM is not required to prepare a statement 
containing the information required by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 
at 2 U.S.C. 1532.

Executive Order 12630, Governmental Actions and Interference With 
Constitutionally Protected Property Rights (Takings)

    The proposed rule does not have takings implications and is not 
government action capable of interfering with constitutionally 
protected property rights. A right-of-way application is not private 
property. The BLM has discretion under the governing statutes to issue 
a grant or not (see 30 U.S.C. 185(a) and 43 U.S.C. 1761(a)). Once a 
grant is issued, a holder's continued use of the Federal land covered 
by the grant is conditioned upon compliance with various statutes, 
regulations, and terms and conditions, including the payment of rent. 
Consistent with the FLPMA and the MLA, violation of the relevant 
statutes, regulations, or terms and conditions of the grant can result 
in termination of the grant before the end of the grant's term. The 
holder of a grant acknowledges this possibility in accepting a grant. 
Therefore, the Department of the Interior has determined that the rule 
would not cause a taking of private property or require further 
discussion of takings implications under this Executive Order.

Executive Order 13132, Federalism

    The proposed rule will not have a substantial direct effect on the 
states, on the relationship between the national government and the 
states, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the 
levels of government. Qualifying states and local governments continue 
to be exempt from paying rent for a right-of-way grant issued under 
FLPMA. Therefore, in accordance with Executive Order 13132, the BLM has 
determined that this proposed rule does not have sufficient Federalism 
implications to warrant preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform

    Under Executive Order 12988, we have determined that this proposed 
rule would not unduly burden the judicial system and that it meets the 
requirements of sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of the Order.

Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal 
Governments

    In accordance with Executive Order 13175, we have found that this 
proposed rule does not include policies that have tribal implications. 
The BLM may only issue right-of-way grants across public lands that it 
manages or across Federal lands held by two or more Federal agencies. 
Indian tribes have jurisdiction over their own lands, subject to the 
Secretary's trust responsibility. To our knowledge, no Indian tribes 
are involved in any multi-agency grants.

Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That 
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    In accordance with Executive Order 13211, the BLM has determined 
that the proposed rule is not a significant energy action. The proposed 
rule is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866 
and is not likely to have a significant effect on energy supply, 
distribution or use, including a shortfall in supply or price increase. 
In addition, the proposed rule has not been designated as a significant 
energy action by the Chief of the Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs. However, since the proposed rent schedule is based on average 
per acre land values which have generally increased over the past 20 
years, rental receipts would be expected to increase in a like 
proportion, but still remain a minor component of overall costs and/or 
rates. In addition, the rule preserves existing rental exemption and 
waiver provisions, provides an on-going phase-in provision, and 
provides more flexible rent payment options that are lacking in the 
current rule.

Executive Order 13352, Facilitation of Cooperative Conservation

    In accordance with Executive Order 13352, the BLM has determined 
that this proposed rule would not impede facilitating cooperative 
conservation; would take appropriate account of and consider the 
interests of persons with ownership or other legally recognized 
interests in land or other natural resources; would properly 
accommodate local participation in the Federal decision-making process; 
and would provide that the programs, projects, and activities are 
consistent with protecting public health and safety. This proposed rule 
does not change any provisions of the BLM's current right-of-way rule 
which facilitates cooperative conservation in the authorization and 
administration of right-of-way facilities on public lands. The proposed 
rule maintains all alternatives for maximum protection of right-of-way 
facilities when the land encumbered by the facilities is proposed for 
transfer out of Federal ownership. The grant holder would also have the 
opportunity to negotiate new terms and conditions with the new land 
owner, if the holder so desires. The proposed rule does not reduce or 
eliminate any current provision which requires the BLM to coordinate 
and consult with other affected and/or interested parties in the 
granting or administering of right-of-way facilities on public land, 
including the requirements that the BLM places on right-of-way holders 
to protect public health and safety, as well as public resources and 
environmental quality.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Office of Management and Budget has approved the information 
collection requirements in the proposed rule under the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., and has assigned 
clearance number 1004-0189, which expires on November 30, 2008.

Authors

    The principal authors of this proposed rule are Bil Weigand, BLM 
Idaho State Office, and Rick Stamm, BLM Washington Office, assisted by 
Ian Senio of BLM's Division of Regulatory Affairs, Washington Office, 
Christian Crowley, Office of Policy Analysis, Office of the Secretary, 
and Michael Hickey of the Office of the Solicitor.

    Accordingly, the BLM proposes to amend 43 CFR parts 2800, 2880, and 
2920 as set forth below:

PART 2800--RIGHTS-OF-WAY UNDER THE FEDERAL LAND POLICY MANAGEMENT 
ACT

    1. The authority citation for part 2800 continues to read as 
follows:

    Authority: 43 U.S.C. 1733, 1740, 1763, and 1764.

    2. Amend Sec.  2805.11 by revising paragraph (b)(2) to read as 
follows:


Sec.  2805.11  What does a grant contain?

* * * * *
    (b) * * *
    (2) All grants, except those issued for a term of 3 years or less 
and those issued in perpetuity, will terminate on December 31 of the 
final year of the grant.
* * * * *
    3. Amend Sec.  2805.14 by revising paragraph (f) to read as 
follows:


Sec.  2805.14  What rights does a grant convey?

* * * * *
    (f) Assign the grant to another, provided that you obtain the BLM's 
prior written approval, unless your grant specifically states that such 
approval is unnecessary.
    4. Amend Sec.  2806.14 by redesignating the introductory text and 
paragraphs (a), (b), (b)(1), (b)(2), (c), and (d) as paragraphs (a) 
introductory text, (a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(2)(i), (a)(2)(ii), (a)(3), and 
(a)(4), respectively, and by adding a new paragraph (b) to read as 
follows:


Sec.  2806.14  Under what circumstances am I exempt from paying rent?

* * * * *
    (b) The exemptions in this section do not apply if you are in 
trespass.
    5. Revise Sec.  2806.20 to read as follows:


Sec.  2806.20  What is the rent for a linear right-of-way grant?

    (a) Except as described in Sec.  2806.26 of this chapter, the BLM 
will use the Per Acre Rent Schedule (see paragraph (c) of this section) 
to calculate rent for all linear right-of-way authorizations, 
regardless of the granting authority (FLPMA, MLA, and their 
predecessors). Counties (or other geographical areas) are assigned to 
an appropriate zone in accordance with Sec.  2806.21. The BLM will 
adjust the per acre rent values in the schedule annually in accordance 
with Sec.  2806.22(a), and it will revise the schedule at the end of 
each 10-year period starting with the base year of 2002 in accordance 
with Sec. Sec.  2806.22(b) and (c).
    (b) The annual per acre rent for all types of linear right-of-way 
facilities is the product of three factors: The per acre zone value 
multiplied by the encumbrance factor multiplied by the rate of return.
    (c) You may obtain a copy of the current Per Acre Rent Schedule 
from any BLM state or field office or by writing: Director, BLM, 1849 C 
St., NW., Mail Stop 1000 LS, Washington, DC 20240. The BLM also posts 
the current rent schedule on the BLM Homepage on the Internet at http://www.blm.gov.
    6. Redesignate Sec. Sec.  2806.21, 2806.22, and 2806.23 as 
Sec. Sec.  2806.22, 2806.23, and 2806.24, respectively, and add new 
Sec.  2806.21 to read as follows:


Sec.  2806.21  When and how are counties or other geographical areas 
assigned to a County Zone Number and Per Acre Zone Value?

    Counties (or other geographical areas) are assigned to a County 
Zone Number and Per Acre Zone Value based upon their average per acre 
land and building value published in the Census of Agriculture (Census) 
by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The initial 
assignment of counties to the zones in the base year (2002) Per Acre 
Rent Schedule is based upon data contained in the most recent NASS 
Census (2002). Subsequent assignments of counties will occur every 5 
years following the publication of the NASS Census.
    7. Revise redesignated Sec.  2806.22 to read as follows:


Sec.  2806.22  When and how does the Per Acre Rent Schedule change?

    (a) The BLM will adjust the per acre rent values in Sec.  2806.20 
for all types of linear right-of-way facilities in each zone each 
calendar year based on the difference in the U.S. Department of Labor 
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, U.S. City Average (CPI-
U), from January of one year to January of the following year.
    (b) The BLM will review the NASS Census data from the 2012 NASS 
Census, and each subsequent 10-year period, and as appropriate, revise 
the number of county zones and the per acre zone values. Any revision 
must include 100 percent of the number of counties and listed 
geographical areas for all states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico 
and must reasonably reflect their average per acre land and building 
values contained in the NASS Census.
    (c) The BLM will revise the Per Acre Rent Schedule at the end of 
calendar year 2011 and at the end of each 10-year period thereafter to 
reflect the average rate of return for the preceding 10-year period for 
the 30-year Treasury bond yield (or the 20-year Treasury bond yield if 
the 30-year Treasury bond yield is not available).
    8. Revise redesignated Sec.  2806.23 to read as follows:


Sec.  2806.23  How will the BLM calculate my rent for linear rights-of-
way the Per Acre Rent Schedule covers?

    (a) Except as provided by Sec. Sec.  2806.25 and 2806.26, the BLM 
calculates your rent by multiplying the rent per acre for the 
appropriate county (or other geographical area) zone from the current 
schedule by the number of acres (as rounded up to the nearest tenth of 
an acre) in the right-of-way area that fall in each zone and 
multiplying the result by the number of years in the rental period.
    (b) If the BLM has not previously used the rent schedule to 
calculate your rent, we may do so after giving you reasonable written 
notice.
    9. Revise redesignated Sec.  2806.24 to read as follows:


Sec.  2806.24  How must I make rental payments for a linear grant?

    (a) Term grants. For linear grants, except those issued in 
perpetuity, you must make either nonrefundable annual payments or a 
nonrefundable payment for more than 1 year, as follows:
    (1) One-time payments. You may pay in advance the total rent amount 
for the entire term of the grant or any remaining years.
    (2) Multiple payments. If you choose not to make a one-time 
payment, you must pay according to one of the following methods:
    (i) Payments by individuals. If your annual rent is $100 or less, 
you must pay at 10-year intervals, not to exceed the term of the grant. 
If your annual rent is greater than $100, you may pay annually or at 
10-year intervals, not to exceed the term of the grant. For

[[Page 70402]]

example, if you have a grant with a remaining term of 30 years, you may 
pay in advance for 10 years, 20 years, or 30 years, but not any other 
multi-year period.
    (ii) Payments by all others. If your annual rent is $1,000 or less, 
you must pay rent at 10-year intervals, not to exceed the term of the 
grant. If your annual rent is greater than $1,000, you may pay annually 
or at 10-year intervals, not to exceed the term of the grant.
    (b) Perpetual grants. For linear grants issued in perpetuity 
(except as noted in Sec. Sec.  2806.25 and 2806.26), you must make 
either nonrefundable annual payments or a nonrefundable payment for 
more than 1 year, as follows:
    (1) Payments by individuals. If your annual rent is $100 or less, 
you must pay at 10-year intervals, not to exceed 30 years. If your 
annual rent is greater than $100, you may pay annually or at 10-year 
intervals, not to exceed 30 years.
    (2) Payments by all others. If your annual rent is $1,000 or less, 
you must pay rent at 10-year intervals, not to exceed 30 years. If your 
annual rent is greater than $1,000, you may pay annually or at 10-year 
intervals, not to exceed 30 years.
    (c) Proration of payments. The BLM considers the first partial 
calendar year in the initial rent payment period to be the first year 
of the term. The BLM prorates the first year rental amount based on the 
number of months left in the calendar year after the effective date of 
the grant.
    10. Add new Sec. Sec.  2806.25 and 2806.26 to read as follows:


Sec.  2806.25  How may I make rental payments when land encumbered by 
my perpetual linear grant (other than an easement issued under Sec.  
2807.15(c)) is being transferred out of Federal ownership?

    (a) One-time payment option for existing perpetual grants. If you 
have a perpetual grant and the land your grant encumbers is being 
transferred out of Federal ownership, you may choose to make a one-time 
rental payment. The BLM will determine the one-time payment for a 
perpetual grant by dividing the current annual rent for the subject 
property by an overall capitalization rate calculated from market data, 
where the overall capitalization rate is the difference between a 
market yield rate and a percent annual rent increase as described in 
the formula in paragraphs (a)(1), (2), and (3) of this section. The 
formula for this calculation is: One-time Rental Payment = Annual Rent 
/(Y-CR), where:

    (1) Annual Rent = Current Annual Rent Applicable to the Subject 
Property From the Per Acre Rent Schedule;
    (2) Y = Yield Rate (rate of return) Determined by the Most 
Recent 10-Year Average of the Annual 30-Year Treasury Bond Rate as 
of January of each year; and
    (3) CR = Annual Percent Change in Rent as Determined by the Most 
Recent 10-Year Average of the difference in the CPI-U Index from 
January of one year to January of the following year.

    (b) One-time payment for grants converted to perpetual grants under 
Sec.  2807.15(c). If the land your grant encumbers is being transferred 
out of Federal ownership, and you request a conversion of your grant to 
a perpetual right-of-way grant, you must make a one-time rental payment 
in accordance with Sec.  2806.25(a).
    (c) In paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, the annual rent is 
determined from the Per Acre Rent Schedule (see Sec.  2806.20(c)) as 
updated under Sec.  2806.22. However, the per acre zone value and zone 
number used in this annual rental determination will be based on the 
per acre zone value from acceptable market information or an appraisal, 
if any, for the land transfer action and not the county average per 
acre land and building value from the NASS Census.
    (d) When no acceptable market information is available and no 
appraisal has been completed for the land transfer action or when the 
BLM requests it, you must:
    (1) Prepare an appraisal report using Federal appraisal standards, 
at your expense, that explains how you estimated the land value per 
acre and the encumbrance factor; and
    (2) Submit the appraisal report for consideration by the BLM State 
Director with jurisdiction over the lands encumbered by your 
authorization. If you are adversely affected by this decision, you may 
appeal this decision under Sec.  2801.10 of this part.


Sec.  2806.26  How may I make rental payments when land encumbered by 
my perpetual easement issued under Sec.  2807.15(c) is being 
transferred out of Federal ownership?

    (a) Perpetual easements. The BLM will use the appraisal report for 
the land transfer action (i.e., direct or indirect land sales, land 
exchanges, and other land disposal actions) and other acceptable market 
information to determine the one-time rental payment for a perpetual 
easement issued under Sec.  2807.15(c).
    (b) When no acceptable market information is available and no 
appraisal has been completed for the land transfer action or when the 
BLM requests it, you must prepare an appraisal report as required under 
Sec.  2806.25(d).
    11. Amend Sec.  2807.15 by revising paragraph (c) and adding a new 
paragraph (d) to read as follows:


Sec.  2807.15  How is grant administration affected if the land my 
grant encumbers is transferred to another Federal agency or out of 
Federal ownership?

* * * * *
    (c) If there is a proposal to transfer the land your grant 
encumbers out of Federal ownership, the BLM may negotiate new grant 
terms and conditions with you. This may include increasing the term of 
your grant, should you request it, to a perpetual grant or providing 
for an easement. These changes become effective prior to the time the 
land is transferred out of Federal ownership.
    (d) You and the new land owner may agree to negotiate new grant 
terms and conditions any time after the land encumbered by your grant 
is transferred out of Federal ownership.

PART 2880--RIGHTS-OF-WAY UNDER THE MINERAL LEASING ACT

    12. The authority citation for part 2880 continues to read as 
follows:

    Authority: 30 U.S.C. 185 and 189.

    13. Amend Sec.  2885.11 by revising the first sentence of paragraph 
(a) to read as follows:


Sec.  2885.11  What terms and conditions must I comply with?

    (a) Duration. All grants, except those issued for a term of 3 years 
or less, will terminate on December 31 of the final year of the grant. 
* * *
* * * * *
    14. Amend Sec.  2885.12 by revising paragraph (e) to read as 
follows:


Sec.  2885.12  What rights does a grant or TUP convey?

* * * * *
    (e) Assign the grant or TUP to another, provided that you obtain 
the BLM's prior written approval, unless your grant or TUP specifically 
states that such approval is unnecessary.
    15. Revise Sec.  2885.19 to read as follows:


Sec.  2885.19  What is the rent for a linear right-of-way grant?

    (a) The BLM will use the Per Acre Rent Schedule (see paragraph (b) 
of this section) to calculate the rent. Counties (or other geographical 
areas) are assigned to a County Zone Number and Per Acre Zone Value 
based upon their average per acre land and building value published in 
the NASS Census. The

[[Page 70403]]

initial assignment of counties to the zones in the base year (2002) Per 
Acre Rent Schedule is based upon data contained in the most recent NASS 
Census (2002). Subsequent assignments of counties will occur every 5 
years following the publication of the NASS Census. The Per Acre Rent 
Schedule is also adjusted periodically as follows:
    (1) The BLM will adjust the per acre rent values in Sec. Sec.  
2806.20 and 2885.19(b) for all types of linear right-of-way facilities 
in each zone each calendar year based on the difference in the U.S. 
Department of Labor Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, U.S. 
City Average (CPI-U), from January of one year to January of the 
following year.
    (2) The BLM will review the NASS Census data from the 2012 NASS 
Census, and each subsequent 10-year period, and as appropriate, revise 
the number of county zones and the per acre zone values. Any revision 
must include 100 percent of the number of counties and listed 
geographical areas for all states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico 
and must reasonably reflect their average per acre land and building 
values contained in the NASS Census.
    (3) The BLM will revise the Per Acre Rent Schedule at the end of 
calendar year 2011 and at the end of each 10-year period thereafter to 
reflect the average rate of return for the preceding 10-year period for 
the 30-year Treasury bond yield (or the 20-year Treasury bond yield if 
the 30-year Treasury bond yield is not available).
    (b) You may obtain a copy of the current Per Acre Rent Schedule 
from any BLM state or field office or by writing: Director, BLM, 1849 C 
St., NW., Mail Stop 1000 LS, Washington, DC 20240. The BLM also posts 
the current rent schedule on the BLM Homepage on the Internet at http://www.blm.gov.
    16. Revise Sec.  2885.20 to read as follows:


Sec.  2885.20  How will the BLM calculate my rent for linear rights-of-
way the Per Acre Rent Schedule covers?

    (a) Except as provided by Sec.  2885.22, the BLM calculates your 
rent by multiplying the rent per acre for the appropriate county (or 
other geographical area) zone from the current schedule by the number 
of acres (as rounded up to the nearest tenth of an acre) in the right-
of-way or TUP area that fall in each zone and multiplying the result by 
the number of years in the rental period.
    (b) If you pay rent annually and the payment of your new rental 
amount would cause you undue financial hardship, you may qualify for a 
one-time, 2-year phase-in period. The BLM may require you to submit 
information to support your claim. If approved by the BLM, payment of 
the amount in excess of the previous year's rent may be phased-in by 
equal increments over a 2-year period. In addition, the BLM will adjust 
the total calculated rent for year 2 of the phase-in period by the 
annual index provided by Sec.  2885.19(a)(1).
    (c) If the BLM has not previously used the rent schedule to 
calculate your rent, we may do so after giving you reasonable written 
notice.
    17. Revise Sec.  2885.21 to read as follows:


Sec.  2885.21  How must I make rental payments for a linear grant or 
TUP?

    (a) Term grants or TUPs. For TUPs you must make a one-time 
nonrefundable payment for the term of the TUP. For grants, except those 
which have been issued in perpetuity, you must make either 
nonrefundable annual payments or a nonrefundable payment for more than 
1 year, as follows:
    (1) One-time payments. You may pay in advance the total rent amount 
for the entire term of the grant or any remaining years.
    (2) Multiple payments. If you choose not to make a one-time 
payment, you must pay according to one of the following methods:
    (i) Payments by individuals. If your annual rent is $100 or less, 
you must pay at 10-year intervals not to exceed the term of the grant. 
If your annual rent is greater than $100, you may pay annually or at 
10-year intervals, not to exceed the term of the grant. For example, if 
you have a grant with a remaining term of 30 years, you may pay in 
advance for 10 years, 20 years, or 30 years, but not any other multi-
year period.
    (ii) Payments by all others. If your annual rent is $1,000 or less, 
you must pay rent at 10-year intervals, not to exceed the term of the 
grant. If your annual rent is greater than $1,000, you may pay annually 
or at 10-year intervals, not to exceed the term of the grant.
    (b) Perpetual grants issued prior to November 16, 1973. You must 
make either nonrefundable annual payments or a nonrefundable payment 
for more than 1 year, as follows:
    (1) Payments by individuals. If your annual rent is $100 or less, 
you must pay at 10-year intervals, not to exceed 30 years. If your 
annual rent is greater than $100, you may pay annually or at 10-year 
intervals, not to exceed 30 years.
    (2) Payments by all others. If your annual rent is $1,000 or less, 
you must pay rent at 10-year intervals, not to exceed 30 years. If your 
annual rent is greater than $1,000, you may pay annually or at 10-year 
intervals, not to exceed 30 years.
    (c) Proration of payments. The BLM considers the first partial 
calendar year in the initial rent payment period to be the first year 
of the term. The BLM prorates the first year rental amount based on the 
number of months left in the calendar year after the effective date of 
the grant.
    18. Redesignate Sec. Sec.  2885.22, 2885.23, and 2885.24 as 
Sec. Sec.  2885.23, 2885.24, and 2885.25, respectively, and add new 
Sec.  2885.22 to read as follows:


Sec.  2885.22  How may I make rental payments when land encumbered by 
my perpetual linear grant is being transferred out of Federal 
ownership?

    (a) One-time payment option for existing perpetual grants issued 
prior to November 16, 1973. If you have a perpetual grant and the land 
your grant encumbers is being transferred out of Federal ownership, you 
may choose to make a one-time rental payment. The BLM will determine 
the one-time payment for perpetual right-of-way grants by dividing the 
current annual rent for the subject property by an overall 
capitalization rate calculated from market data, where the overall 
capitalization rate is the difference between a market yield rate and a 
percent annual rent increase as described in the formula in paragraphs 
(a)(1), (2), and (3) of this section. The formula for this calculation 
is: One-time Payment = Annual Rent/(Y - CR), where:

(1) Annual Rent = Current Annual Rent Applicable to the Subject 
Property From the Per Acre Rent Schedule;
(2) Y = Yield Rate Determined by the Most Recent 10-Year Average of 
the Annual 30-Year Treasury Bond Rate as of January of each year; 
and
(3) CR = Annual Percent Change in Rent as Determined by the Most 
Recent 10-Year Average of the difference in the CPI-U Index from 
January of one year to January of the following year.

    (b) In paragraph (a) of this section, the annual rent is determined 
from the Per Acre Rent Schedule (see Sec.  2885.19(b)), as updated 
under Sec.  2885.19(a)(1), (2), and (3) of this chapter. However, the 
per acre zone value and zone number used in this annual rental 
determination will be based on the per acre value from acceptable 
market information or an appraisal, if any, for the land transfer 
action and not the county average per acre land and building value from 
the NASS Census.
    (c) When no acceptable market information is available and no

[[Page 70404]]

appraisal has been completed for the land transfer action, or when the 
BLM requests it, you must prepare an appraisal report as required under 
Sec.  2806.25(d) of this chapter.
    19. Amend Sec.  2886.15 by revising paragraph (c) and adding new 
paragraph (d) to read as follows:


Sec.  2886.15  How is grant or TUP administration affected if the BLM 
land my grant or TUP encumbers is transferred to another Federal agency 
or out of Federal ownership?

* * * * *
    (c) If there is a proposal to transfer the land your grant or TUP 
encumbers out of Federal ownership, the BLM may negotiate new grant or 
TUP terms and conditions with you. This may include increasing the term 
of your grant, should you request it, to a 30-year term or replacing 
your TUP with a grant. These changes become effective prior to the time 
the land is transferred out of Federal ownership.
    (d) You and the new landowner may agree to negotiate new grant or 
TUP terms and conditions any time after the land encumbered by your 
grant is transferred out of Federal ownership.
    20. Amend Sec.  2888.10 by revising paragraph (c) to read as 
follows:


Sec.  2888.10  What is trespass?

* * * * *
    (c) The BLM will administer trespass actions for grants and TUPs as 
set forth in Sec. Sec.  2808.10(c), and 2808.11 of this chapter.
* * * * *

PART 2920--LEASES, PERMITS, AND EASEMENTS

    21. The authority citation for part 2920 continues to read as 
follows:

    Authority: 43 U.S.C. 1740.

    22. Amend Sec.  2920.6(b) by revising the second sentence of 
paragraph (b) to read as follows:


Sec.  2920.6  Reimbursement of costs.

* * * * *
    (b) * * * The reimbursement of costs shall be in accordance with 
the provisions of Sec. Sec.  2804.14 and 2805.16 of this title.
* * * * *
    23. Amend Sec.  2920.8 by revising paragraph (b) to read as 
follows:


Sec.  2920.8  Fees.

* * * * *
    (b) Processing and monitoring fee. Each request for renewal, 
transfer, or assignment of a lease or easement shall be accompanied by 
a non-refundable processing and monitoring fee determined in accordance 
with the provisions of Sec. Sec.  2804.14 and 2805.16 of this title.
