SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The Federal Lands
Recreation Enhancement Act (REA),
signed December 2004, requires that the
Forest Service and the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) provide Recreation
RACs with an opportunity to make
recommendations to the two agencies
on certain types of proposed recreation
fee changes. REA allows the agencies to
use existing advisory councils, such as
BLM Resource Advisory Councils
(RACs), or to establish new committees
as appropriate. The Forest Service and
BLM elected to jointly use existing BLM
RACs in the states of Arizona, Idaho, the
Dakotas, Montana, Nevada, New
Mexico, and Utah. In 2006, the Forest
Service chartered new Recreation RACs
for the states of California and Colorado,
and for the Forest Service Pacific
Northwest, Eastern and Southern
PO 00000

Regions. The Forest Service is using an
existing advisory board for the Black
Hills National Forest in South Dakota.
In addition, the Governors of three
states—Alaska, Nebraska and
Wyoming—requested that their State be
exempt from the REA–R/RAC
requirement, and the two Departments
concurred with the exemptions.
Members were appointed to the
Colorado Recreation RAC in July 2007
for either two-year or three-year terms.
The terms for the two-year members
will expire July 2009. The Recreation
RACs provide recreation fee
recommendations to both the Forest
Service and the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM). These committees
make recreation fee program
recommendations on implementing or
eliminating standard amenity fees;
expanded amenity fees; and
noncommercial, individual special
recreation permit fees; expanding or
limiting the recreation fee program; and
fee-level changes.
Recreation RAC Composition: Each
Recreation RAC consists of 11 members
appointed by the Secretary. REA
provided flexibility to modify the
specified membership of the RAC ‘‘as
appropriate’’ to ensure a fair and
balanced representation of recreation
interests.
(1) Five persons who represent
recreation users and that include, as
appropriate, persons representing—
(a) Winter motorized recreation such
as snowmobiling;
(b) Winter nonmotorized recreation
such as snowshoeing, cross-country and
downhill skiing, and snowboarding;
(c) Summer motorized recreation such
as motorcycling, boating, and offhighway vehicle driving;
(d) Summer nonmotorized recreation
such as backpacking, horseback riding,
mountain biking, canoeing, and rafting;
and
(e) Hunting and fishing.
(2) Three persons who represent
interest groups that include, as
appropriate, the following:
(a) Non-motorized outfitters and
guides
(b) Non-motorized outfitters and
guides and
(c) Local environmental groups.
(3) Three persons, as follows:
(a) State tourism official to represent
the state;
(b) A person who represents affected
Indian tribes; and
(c) A person who represents affected
local government interests.
