Operating Base in Luna County, New
Mexico, and to convey jurisdiction of
the land to the DHS. This notice
temporarily segregates the land for up to
2 years from location and entry under
the mining laws while the 20-year
withdrawal application is being
processed.
Comments and requests for a
public meeting must be received by June
9, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting
requests should be sent to the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) Las Cruces
District Manager, Las Cruces District
Office, 1800 Marquess Street, Las
Cruces, New Mexico 88005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lori
Allen, BLM Las Cruces District Office,
575–525–4454 or at the above address.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
applicant for the above withdrawal is
the DHS. The application asks the
Secretary of the Interior to withdraw, for
a period of 20 years, the following
described public land from location and
entry under the United States mining
laws, subject to valid existing rights:
DATES:
Deming Forward Operating Base
New Mexico Principal Meridian
T. 29 S, R. 12 W.,
Section 3: E1⁄2SW1⁄4NE1⁄4.
The area described aggregates 20 acres in
Luna County.
The application is a withdrawal
proposal of the Secretary of the DHS (43
CFR 2310.1–2). The purpose of the
withdrawal is to provide the agents at
the Deming Station facilities that would
improve response times, increase shift
time, expedite illegal alien processing,
and provide increased safety and
protection of the agents and detainees.
The withdrawal is needed to convey
jurisdiction of the land to the DHS and
to protect the Federal investment in the
facilities.
A right-of-way or cooperative
agreement would not adequately
constrain nondiscretionary uses and
would not provide sufficient protection
of the Federal investment in the
improvements.
The site proposed for withdrawal is
strategically located and provides for
the most direct access, via existing
ranch roads, to the border in areas of
high smuggling and illegal alien
activity. The site is adjacent to a major
roadway; and electric utilities are
nearby. There are no better locations for
the forward operating base.
Records relating to the proposed
withdrawal can be examined by
contacting Lori Allen at the above
address or phone number.

Notice To Establish Special Recreation
Permit Application, Renewal and
Transfer Fees for Commercial,
Competitive, or Organized Group
Activities and Events; Colorado
Bureau of Land Management,
Colorado State Office.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Colorado State Office of
the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
plans to implement Special Recreation
Permit (SRP) fees. The fees will
establish standard statewide
application, transfer, and renewal fees
for SRPs. The fees apply to commercial,
competitive, or organized group
activities and events on BLM lands, and
revenues will be used to help offset the
cost of processing SRPs. Field offices
will also be allowed to keep more
revenues that would benefit on-theground work, including an increased
law enforcement presence, hiring
seasonal employees, and site
improvements. Currently, there is no
statewide SRP fee. This new fee will not
affect cost recovery charges when the
50-hour cost recovery threshold is
anticipated to be exceeded. The fees are:
• New SRP—$100
• SRP Renewal (re-issuance of expired
permits)—$50
• SRP Transfer from one person to
another person—$100
These fees do not apply to individual
SRPs authorizing use of designated
Special Use Areas. Also, no fees are
charged for annual operating
authorizations.
Future adjustments in the fee amount
will be made based on inflation and
local market trends. Consultation will
be made with Colorado’s three Resource
Advisory Committees and appropriate
public notices will be posted prior to a
fee increase.
DATES: The SRP Application Fee
Proposal was published in the Federal
Register on September 11, 2007, as a
proposed supplementary rule. The
comment period was open through
November 13, 2007. The new fees will
go into effect on March 10, 2008.

Placchi, Outdoor Recreation Planner,

Background
All commercial, competitive or
organized group activities, special
events, and special area use on BLM
public lands require a Special
Recreation Permit (SRP). The BLM
Colorado manages over 800 commercial,
competitive, and organized group
activity and event SRPs annually.
BLM Colorado is implementing a new
SRP application fee for the issuance of
new permits, and for the transfer and
renewal of existing permits. The new
administrative fees are $100 for a new
permit, $50 for a permit renewal, and
$100 for a permit transfer. The average
cost to existing permit holders will be
$10 per year, as most permits are
renewed every 5 years. This fee does not
apply to individual SRPs issued for
special area use.
A statewide application fee will make
the cost of applying for and receiving a
commercial, competitive, or organized
group activity and event SRP consistent
at all the BLM Colorado field offices..
The fees collected under statewide
application will be kept at the site to
augment recreation opportunities for the
public. Both public and private
outfitters will benefit from the fee
through the BLM’s increased law
enforcement capabilities, additional
funds for signing and interpretive
education, and a greater BLM field
presence to control illegal operations on
BLM-managed public lands.
Pursuant to 43 CFR 2932.31(d)(1)–(4),
and BLM Manual, H–2930–1 Recreation
Permit Administration Page 27
paragraph f. (1), the State Director has
the authority to set and adjust fees for
SRPs. Direction from the BLM’s
‘‘Priorities for Recreation and Visitor
Services (Purple Book), Goal 3: Provide
for and Receive Fair Value in
Recreation’’ also encourages the
implementation of such fees.
Comments Received on Proposed
Supplementary Rule
Only one comment was received
regarding the proposed fee. The
commenter had two concerns:
1. That the fee should be $250.00
To determine an appropriate fee
structure, the BLM interviewed BLM
SRP managers across Colorado. Those
interviewed included recreation permit
and license managers of local and
regional recreational programs
including Arkansas Headwaters State
Recreation Area, Colorado Department
of Regulatory Affairs, and Colorado
State Parks River Outfitter Licensing
Program. The BLM also interviewed the
Executive Director of the Colorado
