SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To meet
increasing demands for services and
maintenance of existing facilities,
routes, and trails, the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM)’s Hollister Field
Office proposes to begin collecting fees
January 2008 in the Clear Creek Special
Recreation Management Area (CCMA)
in San Benito and Fresno Counties,
California, under the Federal Lands
Recreation Enhancement Act (REA) of
2005. The primary recreation
opportunity in the CCMA is off-highway
vehicle use; however, more and more
outdoor enthusiasts are engaging in
other recreation activities in the CCMA
with less surface impact, including
hunting, hiking, backpacking, hang
gliding, peak climbing, and rock
hounding. Since the area offers
recreation users both motorized and
non-motorized recreation opportunities,
the CCMA qualifies as a site wherein
visitors can be charged a ‘‘Standard
Amenity Recreation Fee’’ authorized
under Section 3(f) and a ‘‘Special
Recreation Permit Fee’’ authorized
under section 3(h) of the REA. After
receiving support, guidance, and
recommendations from the Central
California Resource Advisory Council
(RAC), the BLM California State Office,
and considerable public input, the BLM
Hollister Field Office proposes a fee
structure that would consist of charging
a Standard Amenity Recreation (SAR)
Fee of $5.00 per vehicle upon arriving
at the site. This SAR Fee will only apply
to users who use facilities at the Clear
Creek Management Area and not for
members of the public passing through
the CCMA. For those visitors who
would be participating in OHV use (e.g.
ATVs, motorcycles, quads, dune
