SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 specialized recreation sites, or where the BLM provides facilities, equipment, or services, at Federal expense, in connection with outdoor use. To meet increasing demands for services and maintenance at Jump Creek Recreation Site, the BLM will establish a fee program for recreation site use. This fee site proposal addresses facility maintenance and public safety needs due to increased use and costs of khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:30 Nov 06, 2023 Jkt 262001 operation. The fees will also enable the BLM to improve services, add amenities desired by visitors, and help offset costs incurred by Owyhee County for increased law enforcement patrols and search and rescue efforts. The proposed fees are a $5 per vehicle day-use fee, or a $25 annual pass, which would begin no earlier than spring 2024. People holding an America the Beautiful—The National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands pass are granted a 100 percent discount for standard amenity fees. The FLREA directs the Secretary of the Interior and Secretary of Agriculture to publish an advance notice in the Federal Register whenever new recreation fee areas are established under their respective jurisdictions. In accordance with BLM policy, the Jump Creek Recreation Site Business Plan explains the fee collection process and how fees will be used at this site. The BLM Idaho Resource Advisory Council, functioning as a Recreation Resource Advisory Committee, reviewed the proposal to charge fees at Jump Creek Recreation Site in August 2021, following the FLREA guidelines. Fee amounts will be posted on-site and at the BLM Owyhee Field Office. Copies of the business plan will be available at the BLM Owyhee Field Office and BLM Boise District Office as listed in the ADDRESSES section. Any future adjustments in the fee amount will be made following the Jump Creek Recreation Site Business Plan and after consultation with the Idaho Resource Advisory Council and other public notice. The Jump Creek Recreation Site is identified in the 1998 BLM Owyhee Resource Management Plan and was analyzed in the Environmental Impact Statement accompanying the plan (EIS ID–B030–1989–0001). Recreation use fees would be consistent with other established fee sites in the area managed by the BLM and other Federal and state land management agencies. The BLM welcomes public comments on this proposal.
