Than on Developed Recreation Sites; Adjustment in Fees
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of fee adjustments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is adjusting certain
Special Recreation Permit (SRP) fees for various recreation activities
on BLM-managed public lands and related waters. The BLM is adjusting
the minimum fee for commercial, competitive, and organized group
activities and events, and assigned sites.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cory Roegner, Division of Recreation

<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#fc9f8e93999b92998ebc9e9091d29b938a"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f79485989290999285b7959b9ad9909881">[email protected]</span></a>. Individuals in the United States who are deaf,
deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711
(TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services.
Individuals outside the United States should use the relay services
offered within their country to make international calls to the point-
of-contact in the United States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 43 CFR 2932.31 authorizes the BLM Director
to periodically adjust SRP fees. This notice establishes that,
effective immediately: (i) the minimum fee for commercial use is $130
per year (an increase from $115); (ii) the minimum fee for both
competitive events and organized group activities is $7 per person per
day (an increase from $6) or $130 (an increase from $115), whichever is
greater; and (iii) the minimum fee for an assigned site for exclusive
use is $260 per site (an increase from $230). Individual states have
the option of imposing application fees as a matter of cost recovery
and/or establishing higher minimum fees for certain other SRPs. The
next fee adjustment is scheduled for March 1, 2026.
The intended effect of the fee calculation process is to ensure
fees cover administrative costs of permit issuance, provide a fair
return to the U.S. Government for use of the public lands, and reflect
fair market value. The BLM, in coordination with the U.S. Forest
Service, automatically adjusts the minimum commercial, competitive,
organized group activity SRP fees, and minimum assigned site fees every
3 years.
These fees are calculated and adjusted based on the change in the
Implicit Price Deflator-Gross Domestic Product Index (IPD-GDP). The
IPD-GDP is available from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of
Economic Analysis in Table 1.1.9, at the following website: <a href="http://www.bea.gov/iTable/">http://www.bea.gov/iTable/</a>.
(Authority: 43 U.S.C. 1740, 16 U.S.C. 6802, and 43 CFR 2932.31.)
Troy Frost,
Deputy Assistant Director, National Conservation Lands and Community
Partnerships.
