Reasonable Right-of-Way Fees Act of 2002

Summary

Reasonable Right-of-Way Fees Act of 2001 - Amends the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 to require a holder of a right-of-way to pay in advance the fair market value of the holder's use of the land encumbered by the right-of-way (currently, the fair market value of the right-of-way) as determined by the Secretary concerned (the Secretary of the Interior or the Secretary of Agriculture granting, issuing, or renewing such right-of-way). Prohibits the fair market value of a use of land encumbered by a right-of-way granted issued or renewed from exceeding the lowest amount determined using the following valuation methods: (1) the value to the Secretary of the land encumbered by the right-of-way; (2) the diminution in the value of the land to the Secretary as a result of the right-of-way; and (3) the amount necessary to restore the land to its use immediately before the initial grant or issuance of the right-of-way. States that fair market value and related rents shall be determined from the perspective of the Government as a land holder and willing seller of the right-of-way. Provides that right-of-way uses that have similar initial or potential physical impacts on the land or adjacent lands, including the disturbance necessary to establish the right-of-way and directly related ancillary facilities (including points of access, substations, compressor stations, and regeneration facilities), shall be valued based on the fee value of the underlying land, regardless of the technology present or related commercial values of those facilities.
