Forest Service
Title: Recreation Fee and Wilderness Program Administration.
OMB Control Number: 0596-0106.
Summary of Collection: The Federal Lands Recreation and Enhancement
Act (16 U.S.C. 6801-6814) authorizes the Forest Service (FS) to collect
recreation fees for use of government facilities and services. The
Organic Administration Act (16 U.S.C. 473), the Wilderness Act (16
U.S.C. 1131), and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1271) authorize
FS to collect information from National Forest System visitors who are
asked to describe the location of their visit and estimated duration of
stay. Every year millions of people visit National Forest System
recreations sites. At some of these sites, the public is required to
pay a fee to use the site. Fees are charged to help cover the costs of
operating and maintaining fee sites, areas, and facilities such as
campgrounds. FS will collect information from the forms to document
when visitors pay a required recreation fee and to schedule requests
for use and occupancy of government owned facilities.
Need and Use of the Information: Forms used to collection
information and fees from visitors: (1) The Recreation Fee Permit
Envelope (FS 2300-26 and 26a); (2) Permit for Short-Term, Non-
commercial Use of Government-Owned Cabins and Lookouts (FS 2300-43);
(3) Visitor Permit (FS-2300-30); (4) Visitor Registration Card (FS-
2300-32); (5) National Recreation Application (FS-2300-47) and (6)
National Recreation Permit (FS-2300-48). Personal information includes,
but not limited to, names, addresses, telephone number, length of stay,
amount paid, requested dates of occupancy, party size and vehicle
registration are collected. If this information and fees was not
collected FS could not monitor visitation rates in special management
areas to prevent overuse and site deterioration in environmentally
sensitive areas.
Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents: 1,950,000.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (per visit).
Total Burden Hours: 130,000.
