Discussion of Fees
The Federal Lands Recreation
Enhancement Act (REA), 16 U.S.C.
6801–6814, authorizes the Secretary of
the Interior to establish, modify, charge,
and collect recreation fees at specified
categories of Federal recreation lands
and waters. The REA also contains
specific provisions addressing public
involvement when establishing
recreation fees. The authority of the
Secretary to carry out these provisions
expires 10 years after December 8, 2004.
16 U.S.C. 6809.
The public-involvement provisions of
the REA include a requirement that
Recreation Resource Advisory
Committees or councils be given
opportunities to make recommendations
regarding the establishment of
recreation fees. In Wyoming, a
Recreation Action Team serves this
advisory function.
In accordance with BLM policy, the
Casper Field Office has prepared a
Recreation Business Management Plan
that explains the fee collection process
associated with Trapper’s Route SRMA,
Muddy Mountain EEA, and special
recreation permits. The business plan
also outlines how the fees will be used.
The BLM has notified and involved
the public at each stage of the planning
process. The BLM held a public meeting
on July 30, 2009, in conjunction with
the National Historic Trails Interpretive
Center’s presentation of its business
plan. The BLM also presented its plan
to the Wyoming Recreation Action
Team on February 23, 2010.
Each campground that will be subject
to the fees announced in this Notice
qualifies as a site where visitors can be
charged an ‘‘expanded amenity
recreation fee’’ in accordance with REA
criteria at 43 U.S.C. 6802(g)(2). The
Muddy Mountain EEA is a popular
recreation area for both day-use and
overnight visits. The EEA is located
approximately 20 miles south of Casper
and has two existing campgrounds. The
proposed changes to the existing fee
structure include eliminating the dayuse fee and increasing the fees for
overnight stays and extra vehicles.
Camping fees will be increased from $5
to $7 for each overnight stay, and the fee
for extra vehicles will be increased from
$2 to $3.
The Trapper’s Route SRMA is located
along the North Platte River between
Casper and Alcova, Wyoming,
beginning approximately 40 miles
southwest of Casper, Wyoming,
immediately downstream from Grey
Reef Dam. The SRMA spans 41 miles
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
and encompasses more than 3,000 acres
of BLM-administered public lands. In
2007, the Casper Field Office completed
a recreation area management plan
(RAMP) for the SRMA in order to
address the negative environmental
impacts caused by substantial increases
in visitor use on public lands along the
North Platte River. Additional
infrastructure and reclamation projects
have been designed to mitigate these
impacts and to sustain the high quality
values. New fees for use of the SRMA
will be used to supplement the
appropriated annual maintenance
budget and diversify funding for
wildlife habitat and improvement
projects. Upon the completion of the
recreation improvement projects, there
will be eight developed sites comprised
of four day-use areas and four overnight
campgrounds. The BLM has not charged
fees at any developed sites in the SRMA
in the past. The expanded amenity fees
being established for Trapper’s Route
SRMA include a $10 fee for overnight
camping and $5 fee for each additional
vehicle. A day-use fee will not be
charged.
Fee amounts will be posted on-site
and at the Casper Field Office, where
copies of the business plan will also be
available. Information concerning the
proposed new fees will be available on
the BLM Web site, through press
releases to local media, and through
word of mouth by BLM employees and
local users. These efforts will continue
following publication of this notice.
The existing fee structure was
analyzed in Environmental Assessment
WY 062–EA–99–114 (EA) for the
Muddy Mountain EEA. In 2007, the
BLM prepared an EA (WY 060–02–16)
for the Trapper’s Route SRMA, which
included development of recreational
infrastructure and proposed to enact a
fee program for the area.
Authority: Notice of establishment of the
fee area is provided pursuant to 16 U.S.C.
6803(b).

Acting State Director.

revenues for calendar year 2012 shall be
one-half of the annual fee rate, which is
0.037% (.00037).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA)
established the National Indian Gaming
Commission which is charged with,
among other things, regulating gaming
on Indian lands.
The regulations of the Commission
(25 CFR part 514), as amended, provide
for a system of fee assessment and
payment that is self-administered by
gaming operations. Pursuant to those
regulations, the Commission is required
to adopt and communicate assessment
rates; the gaming operations are
required to apply those rates to their
revenues, compute the fees to be paid,
report the revenues, and remit the fees
to the Commission.
The final rate being adopted today is
effective for calendar year 2012.
Therefore, all gaming operations within
the jurisdiction of the Commission are
required to self administer the
provisions of these regulations, and
report and pay any fees that are due to
the Commission by December 31, 2012.
