Notice of proposed directives; request for comment. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: The Forest Service is proposing changes to its directives governing permits for operation of campground and related Granger-Thye concessions (concessions with PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Government-owned improvements) on National Forest System lands. The proposed directives would reduce from 50 to 10 percent the camping fee discount campground concessioners (concessioners) are required to offer to holders of Senior and Access Passes and Golden Age and Golden Access Passports. Additionally, the proposed directives would allow concessioners to propose camping fee discounts above 10 percent for these pass holders in their applications; would require concessioners to offer a 10 percent discount to holders of Senior and Access Passes and Golden Age and Golden Access Passports for standard amenity recreation fee (SARF) day use sites that they operate; and would require concessioners to provide free use to holders of Annual and Volunteer Passes at SARF day use sites they operate. Furthermore, existing concessioners could request amendment of their permit to incorporate all of these changes, as well as an increase in their land fee for the remaining term of their permit if their gross revenue increases significantly due to the reduction in the camping fee discount. Alternatively, the proposed directive changes would allow existing concessioners to continue operating under the terms of their current permit until it expires. Public comment on the proposed directives is invited and will be considered in development of the final directives. DATES: Comments must be received in writing by February 1, 2010. ADDRESSES: Send comments electronically by following the instructions at the Federal eRulemaking portal at https://www.regulations.gov. Comments also may be submitted by mail to U.S. Forest Service, Attn: Carolyn Holbrook, Recreation and Heritage Resources Staff, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW., Stop 1125, Washington, DC 20250–1125. If comments are sent electronically, please do not send duplicate comments by mail.

All comments, including names and addresses when provided, will be placed in the record and will be available for public inspection.
