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. The BLM’s policy is to collect
fees at all specialized recreation sites, or
where the BLM provides facilities,
equipment or services, at Federal
expense, in connection with outdoor
use as authorized by the REA. In an
effort to meet increasing demands for
services and maintenance of developed
facilities, the BLM would implement a
fee program for the camping areas.
BLM’s mission for the camping areas is
to ensure that funding is available to
maintain facilities and recreational
opportunities, to provide for law
enforcement presence, to develop
additional services, and to protect
resources. This mission entails
communication with those who will be
most directly affected by the camping
areas, for example recreationists, other
recreation providers, partners,
neighbors, and those who will have a
stake in solving concerns that may arise
throughout the life of the camping areas,
including elected officials, and other
agencies.
Development of the Moab Skyway
Group Site and the Entrada Bluffs,
Bartlett and Courthouse camping areas
is consistent with the 2008 Moab
Resource Management Plan and was
analyzed in the Environmental Impact
Statement accompanying the plan (EIS
UT–060–2007–04). Camping and group
use fees would be consistent with other
established fee sites in the area
including other BLM administered sites
in the area and those managed by the
USDA Forest Service, USDI National
Park Service, and Utah State Parks and
Recreation. Future adjustments in the
fee amount will be made following the
Moab Field Office’s recreation fee
business plan covering the sites,
consultation with the Utah Recreation
Resource Advisory Committee and other
public notice prior to a fee adjustment.
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. REA also
directed the Secretaries of the Interior
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
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 Moab Field Office’s
recreation fee business plan both
explains the fee collection process and
how the fees will be used at the four
sites. BLM will notify and involve the
public at each stage of the planning
process, including the proposal to
collect fees. The Utah RRAC will review
the fee proposals at its next meeting,
following REA guidelines. Fee amounts
will be posted on-site, and at the Moab
Field Office, and copies of the business
plan will be available at the Moab Field
Office and the BLM Utah State Office.
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.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 6803(b).
