What is the difference between cost recovery fees and rent?
Cost recovery fees are paid by an applicant for the costs that BLM incurs in processing an application for a right-of-way and in monitoring a grant after a right-of-way has been issued.Rent is a charge for locating a right-of-way facility on public or Federal lands. It is payable for a specified term and is based on the fair market value of the rights BLM authorizes. BLM usually establishes the rent for linear and communication sites on public lands via two separate administrative schedules. Rent does not include processing or monitoring fees, and rent is not offset by such fees.
