Revised Statutes 2477 Rights-of-Way Settlement Act

Summary

Revised Statutes 2477 Rights-of-Way Settlement Act - Authorizes any State, political subdivision, or other holder of a right-of-way across public lands that was granted under section 2477 of the Revised Statutes (RS 2477) before October 31, 1976, or any person who uses or could use the right-of-way for passage across public lands, to file with the head of the agency or department managing such public lands (Secretary) a notice of the right-of-way. Requires such notice to: (1) be filed not later than five years after this Act's enactment; (2) identify the State and political subdivision through which the right-of-way passes; and (3) contain a map and a general description of the route, termini, and width of the right-of-way. Directs the Secretary: (1) within two years of the date on which notice is filed, to inform the person who filed the notice, the State, and the political subdivision through which the right-of-way passes of any objection to the right-of-way; and (2) to recognize any right-of-way that was accepted or established in accordance with State law or by an affirmative act of a State or political subdivision indicating acceptance of the grant of the right-of-way. Authorizes the Secretary, not later than two years after first notifying a holder or person who filed such a notice of any objection to a right-of-way, to bring an action based on the objection in the U.S. district court to challenge its validity. Directs the Secretary to record any valid right-of-way in the appropriate land records and on maps of the Secretary and to manage the land subject of the right-of-way in a manner that does not interfere with the use of the right-of-way. Prohibits the Secretary or any public land management official from promulgating any regulations relating to RS 2477 rights-of-way that are not essential to carry out the Act. Sets forth provisions regarding: (1) actions to quiet title; (2) the application of State law; and (3) applicability of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.
