Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 168 / Friday, August 29, 2014 / Notices
regulations at 25 CFR 83 contain seven
criteria that unrecognized groups
seeking Federal acknowledgment as
Indian tribes must demonstrate that they
meet. Information collected from
petitioning groups under these
regulations provides anthropological,
genealogical and historical data used by
the Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs
to establish whether a petitioning group
has the characteristics necessary to be
acknowledged as having a governmentto-government relationship with the
United States. Respondents are not
required to retain copies of the
information submitted to OFA but will
probably maintain copies for their own
use; therefore, there is no recordkeeping
requirement included in this
information collection.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of currently approved collection.
Respondents: Groups petitioning for
Federal acknowledgment as Indian
tribes.
Number of Respondents: 10 per year,
on average.
Number of Responses: 10 per year, on
average.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Estimated Time per Response: 2,075
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
20,750 hours.
Dated: August 26, 2014.

by November 28, 2014 and include a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
planning area for the 5,060-acre North
Platte River Recreation Area
Management Plan (Plan) includes
parcels of public land within the SRMA
boundary from the Prospect Creek
confluence to Seminoe Reservoir
covering 110 river miles. Approximately
10 percent of the surface area is public
land with the remainder predominantly
private and State lands. The Corral
Creek Campground is within the SRMA
approximately 33 miles northeast of the
Encampment, Wyoming, and is a
popular recreation site for both day-use
and overnight visits. 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 11 years after
December 8, 2005 (16 U.S.C. 6809
amended). The public involvement
PO 00000
Frm 00077
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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, the Recreation Action Team
(REACT) fulfills the public involvement
requirements of the REA. REACT is
comprised of State and Federal land
management agencies that meet
regularly to discuss issues of interest to
recreationists in the State. REACT also
reviews all fee increase proposals on all
State and Federal Government sites in
Wyoming. The Corral Creek
Campground qualifies as a site where
visitors can be charged an Expanded
Amenity Fee in accordance with REA
criteria at 43 U.S.C. 6802(g)(2). The BLM
completed the North Platte River
Recreation Area Management Plan and
Environmental Assessment Decision
Record on September 24, 2013, and
fulfilled REA requirements, involved
the public, and gathered input on the
fee proposal and alternatives.
The Plan addresses the following: (1)
Visitor use density; (2) River access
issues and the establishment of a new
campground; (3) Pursuit of a
campground fee and improvements; (4)
Special Recreation Permit allocations
and limits; and (5) Resource impacts
caused by peak visitor use on public
lands along the North Platte River.
Mitigation and reclamation for approved
projects in the Plan have been designed
to positively benefit social and
environmental conditions. The BLM has
already analyzed the potential impacts
of implementing a campground fee, and
considered necessary mitigations in the
North Platte River Recreation Area
Management Plan and Environmental
Assessment. Therefore, establishment of
the campground fee would be an
administrative action implementing the
Sept. 24, 2013 Decision Record.
In accordance with BLM policy, the
Rawlins Field Office has prepared a
business plan that explains the fee
collection process for the Corral Creek
Campground and how the fees would be
used. The proposed fee structure
includes the implementation of a $10
fee for each overnight stay per campsite
at the campground. No fees would be
charged for extra vehicles. New fees
would be used to supplement the
appropriated recreation maintenance
and operations budget and diversify
funding for watershed restoration,
habitat, soils, environmental
interpretation/education and other
projects which would benefit the Corral
Creek Recreation Site. Within the
SRMA, the BLM has charged Expanded
Amenity fees of $10 for overnight
