Bureau of Land Management, Interior July 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Bureau of Land Management proposes to establish fees and supplementary rules for the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument (UMRBNM) Interpretive Center for public use of the day-use areas. The fees are authorized under the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (REA), 16 U.S.C. 6801 et seq. The UMRBNM Interpretive Center qualifies as a site wherein visitors can be charged a ``Standard Amenity Recreation Fee'' authorized under section 3(4)(f) of the REA, for a recreation use permit described at 43 CFR part 2930. The supplementary rules, developed pursuant to 43 CFR 8365.1-6, are necessary for human health and safety and to protect the natural resources of the site. In accordance with BLM recreation fee program policy, the business plan explains the fee collection process, as well as outlining how the fees will be used at the UMRBNM Interpretive Center. BLM has notified and involved the public at each stage of the planning process, including the proposal to collect fees.
