Background
In accordance with the provisions of
FACA, the Secretary of Agriculture is
seeking nominations for the purpose of
providing recommendations on
recreation fees. The Federal Lands
Recreation Enhancement Act (REA),
signed in December 2004, directs the
Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary
of the Interior, or both to establish
Recreation RACs, or use existing
advisory committees to perform the
duties of Recreation RACs, in each State
or region for Federal recreation lands
and waters managed by the Forest
Service or 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.
The REA grants flexibility to
Recreation RACs by stating that the
Secretaries:
• May have as many additional
Recreation RACs in a State or region as
the Secretaries consider necessary;
• Shall not establish a Recreation
RAC in a State if the Secretaries
determine, in consultation with the
Governor of the State, that sufficient
interest does not exist to ensure that
participation on the committee is
balanced in terms of the points of view
represented and the functions to be
performed; or
• May use a resource advisory
committee established pursuant to
another provision of law and in
accordance with that law.
