Update of Linear Right-of-Way Rent
Schedule
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Proposed Rule.
AGENCY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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-ofway 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-ofway 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-ofway on National Forest System (NFS)
lands.
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 rightof-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
E:\FR\FM\11DEP2.SGM
11DEP2
rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with PROPOSALS2
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 11, 2007 / Proposed Rules
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-ofway 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-bycase 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) × (impact
adjustment) × (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 nonenergy related pipelines with a smaller
area of disturbance, are adjusted to 70
percent of the zone value.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:28 Dec 10, 2007
Jkt 214001
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 rightsof-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 multiyear 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 5year 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-ofway 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
E:\FR\FM\11DEP2.SGM
11DEP2
rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with PROPOSALS2
70378
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 11, 2007 / Proposed Rules
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, 2year phrase-in period for holders of
MLA authorizations if they pay rent
annually and the payment of the new

Jkt 214001
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
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
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
E:\FR\FM\11DEP2.SGM
11DEP2
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 11, 2007 / Proposed Rules
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-ofway 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.
rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with PROPOSALS2
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 noncommercial, 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:
https://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
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
70379
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

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 subcounty 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
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
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).

$30,001 to $50,000.
$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 5Year 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-ofway 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 =
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:28 Dec 10, 2007
Jkt 214001
full value of land × 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 × 40 percent × 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
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
70381
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

70382
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 11, 2007 / Proposed Rules
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-ofway 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 multiyear 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. 20year Treasury bond yield rate if the 30year 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.

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 10year 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
https://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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:28 Dec 10, 2007
Jkt 214001
(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-ofway facilities in each zone each
calendar year based on the difference in
the U.S. Department of Labor CPI–U,
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
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
E:\FR\FM\11DEP2.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 11, 2007 / Proposed Rules
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
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
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
E:\FR\FM\11DEP2.SGM

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-ofway 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-ofway 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
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
70385
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 ‘‘nonindividuals’’ 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

grant. For example, the holder of a 25year 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 (nonindividual) 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 10year 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 10year 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, 20year 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 (nonindividuals) 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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:28 Dec 10, 2007
Jkt 214001
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-ofway 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
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4701

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 § 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

11DEP2
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 11, 2007 / Proposed Rules

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 10year average of the annual 30-Year
Treasury Bond rate as of January of each
year is 6.47 percent and the most recent
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:28 Dec 10, 2007
Jkt 214001
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 rightof-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 onetime 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

Frm 00013
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702

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

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 11, 2007 / Proposed Rules
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 onetime 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
§ 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 https://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
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
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.

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 11, 2007 / Proposed Rules
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.
rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with PROPOSALS2
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
VerDate Aug<31>2005

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 shortterm 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 3year term to conduct activities
authorized by the short-term right-ofway 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 2year 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 2year 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
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
70389
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
E:\FR\FM\11DEP2.SGM
11DEP2
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 https://www.blm.gov.
Section 2885.20 How will BLM
calculate my rent for linear rights-ofway 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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:28 Dec 10, 2007
Jkt 214001
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 onetime, 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.
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
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 × 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:

the rent savings is $31,078; in the third

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 indexadjusted 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 onetime, 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

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 10year 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.
E:\FR\FM\11DEP2.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 11, 2007 / Proposed Rules
(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 onetime 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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:28 Dec 10, 2007
Jkt 214001
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
PO 00000

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 nonrefundable 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

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.
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).
IV. Procedural Matters
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

Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702

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-ofway 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.
E:\FR\FM\11DEP2.SGM

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

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

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-ofway 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 30year 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.

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 onetime, 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 2year 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-ofway 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 rightof-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 rightof-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 rightof-way costs in general (not restricted to
Federal lands) are a minor portion of
total energy transportation costs, no
significant decrease in energy right-ofway activity is expected. The BLM also
believes for the same reasons that no
significant decrease in non-energy rightof-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
E:\FR\FM\11DEP2.SGM
11DEP2
70396
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 11, 2007 / Proposed Rules
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 rightsof-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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:28 Dec 10, 2007
Jkt 214001
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-
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
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
E:\FR\FM\11DEP2.SGM

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 rightsof-way in accordance with Washington
Office Instruction Memorandum 2002–
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:28 Dec 10, 2007
Jkt 214001
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
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
$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
E:\FR\FM\11DEP2.SGM
11DEP2
rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with PROPOSALS2
70398
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 11, 2007 / Proposed Rules
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 grantholders 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 grantholders. 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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:28 Dec 10, 2007
Jkt 214001
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 ‘‘§ ’’ and a
numbered heading, for example:
§ 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
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
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-ofway 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
E:\FR\FM\11DEP2.SGM
11DEP2
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 11, 2007 / Proposed Rules
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
70399
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.

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-ofway 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

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 rightof-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 multiagency 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
PO 00000
Frm 00026

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-ofway 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.

§ 2806.20 What is the rent for a linear
right-of-way grant?
(a) Except as described in § 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 § 2806.21. The BLM
will adjust the per acre rent values in
the schedule annually in accordance
with § 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 §§ 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 https://www.blm.gov.
6. Redesignate §§ 2806.21, 2806.22,
and 2806.23 as §§ 2806.22, 2806.23, and
2806.24, respectively, and add new
§ 2806.21 to read as follows:
§ 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 § 2806.22 to
read as follows:
§ 2806.22 When and how does the Per
Acre Rent Schedule change?
(a) The BLM will adjust the per acre
rent values in § 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
PO 00000
Frm 00027
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702

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 § 2806.23 to
read as follows:
§ 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 §§ 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 § 2806.24 to
read as follows:
§ 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
E:\FR\FM\11DEP2.SGM
11DEP2
70402
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 11, 2007 / Proposed Rules
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
§§ 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 §§ 2806.25 and 2806.26
to read as follows:

§ 2806.25 How may I make rental
payments when land encumbered by my
perpetual linear grant (other than an
easement issued under § 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:
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:28 Dec 10, 2007
Jkt 214001
(1) Annual Rent = Current Annual Rent
Applicable to the Subject Property From the

(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
§ 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 § 2806.25(a).
(c) In paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
section, the annual rent is determined
from the Per Acre Rent Schedule (see
§ 2806.20(c)) as updated under
§ 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 § 2801.10 of this part.
§ 2806.26 How may I make rental
payments when land encumbered by my
perpetual easement issued under
§ 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

requests it, you must prepare an
appraisal report as required under
§ 2806.25(d).
11. Amend § 2807.15 by revising
paragraph (c) and adding a new

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 § 2885.11 by revising the
first sentence of paragraph (a) to read as
follows:
§ 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. * * *
*
*
*
*
*

convey?
What rights does a grant or TUP
*
*
*
*
*
(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 § 2885.19 to read as
follows:
§ 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
E:\FR\FM\11DEP2.SGM
11DEP2
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 11, 2007 / Proposed Rules
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 §§ 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 https://www.blm.gov.
16. Revise § 2885.20 to read as
follows:
rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with PROPOSALS2
§ 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 § 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-

70403
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
§ 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 § 2885.21 to read as
follows:
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 §§ 2885.22, 2885.23,
and 2885.24 as §§ 2885.23, 2885.24, and
2885.25, respectively, and add new
§ 2885.22 to read as follows:
§ 2885.21 How must I make rental
payments for a linear grant or TUP?
§ 2885.22 How may I make rental
payments when land encumbered by my
perpetual linear grant is being transferred
out of Federal ownership?
(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

Frm 00029

(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 § 2885.19(b)),
as updated under § 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

appraisal has been completed for the
land transfer action, or when the BLM
requests it, you must prepare an
appraisal report as required under
§ 2806.25(d) of this chapter.
19. Amend § 2886.15 by revising
paragraph (c) and adding new paragraph
(d) to read as follows:
§ 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 § 2888.10 by revising
paragraph (c) to read as follows:
§ 2888.10
What is trespass?
*
*
*
*
*
(c) The BLM will administer trespass
actions for grants and TUPs as set forth
in §§ 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 § 2920.6(b) by revising the
second sentence of paragraph (b) to read
as follows:
§ 2920.6
Reimbursement of costs.
*
*
*
*
*
(b) * * * The reimbursement of costs
shall be in accordance with the
provisions of §§ 2804.14 and 2805.16 of
this title.
*
*
*
*
*
23. Amend § 2920.8 by revising
paragraph (b) to read as follows:
§ 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 §§ 2804.14 and 2805.16 of
this title.
Note—The following 2002 NASS Census

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.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods

during regular hours (7:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.), Monday through Friday,
except holidays.
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: https://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).
Table 2.--Zone Thresholds
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2002 County land and building
Zone value
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zone 1................................. $1 to $250.
Zone 2................................. $251 to $500.
Zone 3................................. $501 to $1,000.
Zone 4................................. $1,001 to $1,500.
Zone 5................................. $1,501 to $2,000.
Zone 6................................. $2,001 to $3,000.
Zone 7................................. $3,001 to $5,000.
Zone 8................................. $5,001 to $10,000.
Zone 9................................. $10,001 to $20,000.
Zone 10................................ $20,001 to $30,000.
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.''
[[Page 70381]]
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TP11DE07.003
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.

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 https://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 i
