The Plumas National Forest is
planning to charge new fees at four
recreation campgrounds within the
Lakes Basin Recreation Area. All sites
have had amenities added to improve
services and experiences. Fees are
assessed based on the level of amenities
and services provided, cost of operation
and maintenance, market assessment,
and public comment. The fees listed are
only proposed and will be determined
upon further analysis and public
comment. Funds from fees would be
used for the continued operation and
maintenance and improvement of these
recreation sites. Gold Lake Campground
(37 sites), Gold Lake 4x4 Campground
(16 sites), Goose Lake Campground (13
sites) and Haven Lake Campground (4
sites), are currently fee free sites. The
use at these popular campgrounds is
historic and the sites are rustic.
Improvements have been made
including designating 70 campsites,
installing fire rings, and adding garbage
service. Three new toilets and picnic
tables were installed at the Gold Lake
4x4 campground. One new toilet was
installed at Goose Lake Campground.
Improvements will address sanitation
and safety concerns, and improve
deteriorating resource conditions and
recreation experiences. A financial
analysis is being completed to
determine fee rates. The proposed fee to
help maintain this site would range
between $8 and $10 a campsite and
$3.00 per one additional vehicle per
campsite.

AMERICAN BATTLE MONUMENTS
COMMISSION
No Fear Act
AGENCY: American Battle Monuments
Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The American Battle
Monuments Commission (ABMC) is
providing notice to its employees,
former employees, and applicants for
federal employment about the rights and
remedies available to them under the
Federal antidiscrimination,
whistleblower protection, and
retaliation laws. This notice fulfills the
ABMC’s initial notification obligation
under the Notification and Federal
Employees Antidiscrimination and
Retaliation Act (No FEAR Act), as
implemented by the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) regulations at 5
CFR part 724.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Visit
the ABMC Web site at https://
www.abmc.gov, or contact Michael
Conley, Director, Equal Employment
Opportunity (EEO), by mail at American
Battle Monuments Commission, 2300
Clarendon Boulevard, Suite 500,
Arlington, VA 22201, or by phone at
(703) 696–5177.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May
15, 2002, Congress enacted the
‘‘Notification and Federal Employee
Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act
of 2002,’’ which is now known as the
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
No FEAR Act. See Public Law 107–174,
codified at 5 U.S.C. 2301 note. As stated
in the full title of the Act, the Act is
intended to ‘‘require that Federal
agencies be accountable for violations of
antidiscrimination and whistleblower
protection laws.’’ In support of this
purpose, Congress found that ‘‘agencies
cannot be run effectively if those
agencies practice or tolerate
discrimination.’’ Public Law 107–174,
§ 101(1).
The Act also requires this agency to
provide this notice to its Federal
employees, former Federal employees
and applicants for Federal employment
to inform you of the rights and
protections available to you under
Federal antidiscrimination,
whistleblower protection, and
retaliation laws.
Antidiscrimination Laws
A Federal agency cannot discriminate
against an employee or applicant with
respect to the terms, conditions or
privileges of employment on the basis of
race, color, national origin, religion, sex,
age, disability, sexual orientation,
parental status or any other non-merit
factor. Discrimination on these bases is
prohibited by one or more of the
following statutes: 5 U.S.C. 2302(b)(1),
29 U.S.C. 206(d), 29 U.S.C. 631, 29
U.S.C. 633a, 29 U.S.C. 791 and 42 U.S.C.
2000e–16.
If you believe that you have been the
victim of unlawful discrimination on
the basis of race, color, religion, sex,
national origin or disability, you must
contact an Equal Employment
Opportunity (EEO) counselor within 45
calendar days of the alleged
discriminatory action, or, in the case of
a personnel action, within 45 calendar
days of the effective date of the action,
before you can file a formal complaint
of discrimination with your agency. See,
e.g., 29 CFR part 1614. If you believe
that you have been the victim of
unlawful discrimination on the basis of
age, you must either contact an EEO
counselor as noted above or give notice
of intent to sue to the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC) within 180 calendar days of the
alleged discriminatory action. If you are
alleging discrimination based on marital
status or political affiliation, you may
file a written complaint with the U.S.
Office of Special Counsel (OSC) (see
contact information below). In the
alternative (or in some cases, in
addition), you may pursue a
discrimination complaint by filing a
grievance through the agency’s
administrative grievance procedures, if
such procedures apply and are
available.
