2D SESSION
H. RES. 584
Requesting that the Secretary of the Interior withdraw proposed regulations
concerning rights-of-way granted under section 2477 of the Revised Statutes.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OCTOBER 7, 1994
Mr. ORTON (for himself, Mr. YOUNG of Alaska, and Mr. HANSEN) submitted
the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Natural
Resources
RESOLUTION
Requesting that the Secretary of the Interior withdraw pro-
posed regulations concerning rights-of-way granted under
section 2477 of the Revised Statutes.
Whereas in 1866 the Congress established, through section
2477 of the Revised Statutes, a procedure for granting
rights-of-way across unreserved public lands to local gov-
ernments to ensure reasonable access by the public to
and across public lands and resources;
Whereas thousands of such valid rights-of-way were conveyed
to State and local governments through this mechanism
until the statute was repealed by section 706 of the Fed-
eral Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (90 Stat.
2793);
•HRES 584 IH
Whereas section 701 of the Federal Land Policy and Man-
agement Act of 1976 (90 Stat. 2786; 43 U.S.C. 1701
note) specifically recognized and protected all valid exist-
ing rights-of-way granted under section 2477 of the Re-
vised Statutes;
Whereas these rights-of-way are valid property rights held in
trust for the public by State and local governments;
Whereas these rights-of-way continue to be critical to ensur-
ing access to and across public lands;
Whereas there is an established body of case law, legislative
history, historical precedents, and departmental decisions
that does not appear to be reflected in the proposed regu-
lations of the Department of the Interior affecting these
rights-of-way;
Whereas the proposed regulations appear to substantially
conflict with existing law and congressional intent to such
an extent that the established public comment process is
inadequate to address the many fundamental problems
raised by the proposed regulations; and
Whereas it appears that the proposed regulations seek to ex-
ceed the authority granted to the Department of the In-
terior under the Constitution, through political and legal
precedent, and by Executive order: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives requests
that the Secretary of the Interior—
(1) withdraw the proposed regulations regard-
ing rights-of-way granted under section 2477 of the
Revised Statutes; and
•HRES 584 IH
(2) reissue the proposed regulations for public
review and comment only after the proposed regula-
tions have been redrafted to adequately reflect and
comply with all pertinent laws, Executive orders,
rules, regulations, and historical and legal prece-
dents.
