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
941
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.’’.
