VALUE DETERMINATIONS FOR PUBLIC LAND 
AND FOREST SERVICE RIGHTS-OF-WAY. 
(a) LINEAR

UNDER
FEDERAL 
LAND POLICY AND MANAGEMENT ACT OF 1976.—Section 
504 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 
1976 (43 U.S.C. 1764) is amended by adding at the end 
the following: 
‘‘(k) DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE OF 
LINEAR RIGHTS-OF-WAY.—
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—Effective beginning on the 
date of the issuance of the rules required by para-
graph (2), for purposes of subsection (g), the Sec-
retary concerned shall determine the fair market 
value for the use of land encumbered by a linear 
right-of-way granted, issued, or renewed under this 
title using the valuation method described in para-
graphs (2), (3), and (4). 
‘‘(2) REVISIONS.—Not later than 1 year after 
the date of enactment of this subsection—
‘‘(A) the Secretary of the Interior shall 
amend section 2803.1–2 of title 43, Code of 
Federal Regulations, as in effect on the date of 
enactment of this subsection, to revise the per 
acre rental fee zone value schedule by State,
923
county, and type of linear right-of-way use to 
reflect current values of land in each zone; and 
‘‘(B) the Secretary of Agriculture shall 
make the same revision for linear rights-of-way 
granted, issued, or renewed under this title on 
National Forest System land. 
‘‘(3) UPDATES.—The Secretary concerned shall 
annually update the schedule revised under para-
graph (2) by multiplying the current year’s rental 
per acre by the annual change, second quarter to 
second quarter (June 30 to June 30) in the Gross 
National Product Implicit Price Deflator Index pub-
lished in the Survey of Current Business of the De-
partment of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Anal-
ysis. 
‘‘(4) REVIEW.—If the cumulative change in the 
index referred to in paragraph (3) exceeds 30 per-
cent, or the change in the 3-year average of the 1-
year Treasury interest rate used to determine per 
acre rental fee zone values exceeds plus or minus 50 
percent, the Secretary concerned shall conduct a re-
view of the zones and rental per acre figures to de-
termine whether the value of Federal land has dif-
fered sufficiently from the index referred to in para-
graph (3) to warrant a revision in the base zones
924
and rental per acre figures. If, as a result of the re-
view, the Secretary concerned determines that such 
a revision is warranted, the Secretary concerned 
shall revise the base zones and rental per acre fig-
ures accordingly. Any revision of base zones and 
rental per acre figure shall only affect lease rental 
rates at inception or renewal.’’.
