Federal Register notice to the contrary.
The Western Montana Resource
Advisory Council (RAC) has reviewed
the proposal to charge a fee at the White
Sandy Recreation Site. Future
adjustments in the fee amount will be
modified in accordance with the Butte
Field Office Recreation Fee Business
Plan, consultation with the Western
Montana Resource Advisory Council
and other public notice prior to a fee
increase.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under
section 3(g) of the REA, the White
Sandy Recreation Site on Hauser Lake
qualifies as a site wherein visitors can
be charged an ‘‘Expanded Amenity
Recreation Fee.’’ Visitors wishing to use
the expanded amenities BLM has
developed at the White Sandy
Recreation Site (e.g. camping and picnic
areas, boat launches, day use areas)
could purchase a recreation use permit
as described at 43 CFR part 2930.
Pursuant to the REA and implementing
regulations at 43 CFR subpart 2933, fees
may be charged for day-use facilities,
overnight camping, and group use
reservations. Specific visitor fees will be
identified and posted at the site. Fees
must be paid at the self-service pay
station located at the site. People
holding the America The Beautiful—
The National Parks and Federal
Recreational Lands—Senior Pass (i.e.
Interagency Senior Pass), a Golden Age
Passport, the America The Beautiful—
The National Parks and Federal
Recreational Lands—Access Pass (i.e.
Interagency Access Pass) or a Golden
Access Passport will be entitled to a 50
percent fee reduction on all fees except
group reservations.
The White Sandy Recreation Site is a
highly developed 30-unit campground
and day-use site located along the
Missouri River on Hauser Lake. The site
is about 18 miles northeast of Helena,
Montana, and is accessible via Interstate
I–15, Highway 453 (Lincoln Road) and
the Hauser Dam County Road. The BLM
is committed to provide and receive fair
value for the use of developed
recreation facilities and services in a
manner that meets public use demands,
provides quality experiences and
protects important resources. It is BLM’s
policy to collect fees at all specialized
recreation sites or where the BLM
provides facilities, equipment or
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
services, at Federal expense, in
connection with outdoor use. In an
effort to meet increasing demands for
services and maintenance of developed
facilities, the BLM would implement a
fee program for the White Sandy
Recreation Site. Implementing a fee
program at the White Sandy Recreation
Site will help ensure that funding is
available to maintain existing facilities
and recreational opportunities, to
provide for law enforcement presence,
to develop additional services, and to
protect resources. This entails
communication with those who will be
most directly affected by establishing
fees at the White Sandy Recreation Site,
for example, recreationists, other
recreation providers, partners,
neighbors, as well as those who will
have a stake in solving concerns that
may arise throughout the life of the
White Sandy Recreation Site.
Acquisition and development of the
White Sandy Recreation Site is
consistent with the 1984 Headwaters
Resource Management Plan, and was
analyzed in the White Sandy Recreation
Site Development and Acquisition
Project Environmental Assessment (EA)
of December 2004 (No. MT–070–05–06,
DR/FONSI signed 12/15/04).
Information concerning the proposed
new fees is analyzed in that EA, which
states that fees would be consistent with
other established fee sites in the area
and coordinated with other managing
agencies, specifically, the Montana
Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks
(MFWP). Future adjustments in the fee
amount will be made in accordance
with the Butte Field Office Recreation
Fee Business Plan, consultation with the
Western Montana Resource Advisory
Council, and after other public notice.
In December 2004, the REA was
signed into law. The REA provides
authority for 10 years for the Secretaries
of the Interior and Agriculture to
establish, modify, charge, and collect
recreation fees for use of some Federal
recreation lands and waters, and
contains specific provisions addressing
public involvement in the establishment
of recreation fees, including a
requirement that Recreation Resource
Advisory Committees or Councils have
the opportunity to make
recommendations regarding
establishment of such fees. The REA
also directed the Secretaries of the
Interior and Agriculture to publish
advance notice in the Federal Register
whenever new recreation fee areas are
established under their respective
jurisdictions. In accordance with the
BLM recreation fee program policy, the
Butte Field Office Recreational Fee
Business Plan explains the fee

collection process, and outlines how the
fees will be used at the White Sandy
Recreation Site. BLM has notified and
involved the public at each stage of the
planning process, including the
proposal to collect fees. The Western
Montana Resource Advisory Council
has reviewed the fee proposal as well.
Fee amounts will be posted on-site and
at the Butte Field Office. Copies of the
Business Plan will be available at the
Butte Field Office, 106 N. Parkmont,
Butte, MT 59701 and the BLM Montana
State Office, 5001 Southgate Drive,
Billings, Montana 59101.
The BLM welcomes public comments
on this proposal. Before including your
address, phone number, e-mail address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, be
advised that your entire comment—
including your personal identifying
information—may be made publicly
available at any time. While you can ask
us in your comment to withhold from
public review your personal identifying
information, we cannot guarantee that
we will be able to do so.

investigations as parties must file an entry of appearance with the
Secretary to the Commission, as provided in sections 201.11 and 207.10
of the Commission's rules, not later than seven days after publication
of this notice in the Federal Register. Industrial users and (if the
merchandise under investigations is sold at the retail level)
representative consumer organizations have the right to appear as
parties in Commission countervailing duty and antidumping
investigations. The Secretary will prepare a public service list
containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their
representatives, who are parties to these investigations upon the
expiration of the period for filing entries of appearance.
Limited disclosure of business proprietary information (BPI) under
an administrative protective order (APO) and BPI service list.--
Pursuant to section 207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the Secretary
will make BPI gathered in these investigations available to authorized
applicants representing interested parties (as defined in 19 U.S.C.
1677(9)) who are parties to the investigations under the APO issued in
the investigations, provided that the application is made not later
than seven days after the publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. A separate service list will be maintained by the Secretary
for those parties authorized to receive BPI under the APO.
