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

- (a) Except as described in [§ 2806.26](/cfr/43/2806.26.md) of this chapter, the BLM will use the Per Acre Rent Schedule (see [paragraph (c)](#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](/cfr/43/2806.21.md). The BLM will adjust the per acre rent values in the schedule annually in accordance with [§ 2806.22(a)](/cfr/43/2806.22.md?p=a), and it will revise the schedule at the end of each 10-year period in accordance with [§ 2806.22(b)](/cfr/43/2806.22.md?p=b).
- (b) **The annual per acre rent for all types of linear right-of-way facilities is the product of 4 factors—** The per acre zone value multiplied by the encumbrance factor multiplied by the rate of return multiplied by the annual adjustment factor (see [§ 2806.22(a)](/cfr/43/2806.22.md?p=a)).
- (c) You may obtain a copy of the current Per Acre Rent Schedule from any BLM state, district, or field office or by writing the address found under [§ 2804.14(c)](/cfr/43/2804.14.md?p=c) of this part. We also post the current rent schedule at http://www.blm.gov.
