Individuals in the United States who are deaf, blind, hard of
hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or
TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services for contacting
Mr. La Marr. 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: The FLREA directs the Secretary of the
Interior to publish a six-month advance notice in the Federal Register
whenever new recreation fee areas are established.
The BLM intends to establish recreation fees for expanded amenities
at the Coldfoot Cabin at milepost (MP) 175 along the Dalton Highway.
The Central Yukon Field Office administers the BLM utility corridor and
adjacent lands along the Dalton Highway from MP 56 to just south of MP
300 for recreation under the Dalton Highway Special Recreation
Management Area. The Coldfoot Cabin is currently used administratively
during the summer months and will be made available for rent as a
public use cabin during the winter months.
The Coldfoot Cabin qualifies as a site where visitors can be
charged an ``Expanded Amenity Recreation Fee'' under FLREA (16 U.S.C.
6802(g)). The cabin provides toilet facilities, refuse containers,
picnic tables, access roads and parking, visitor protection, and fee
collection by management personnel.
Effective July 8, 2024, the Central Yukon Field Office will
initiate new fee collection at the facility unless the BLM publishes a
Federal Register notice to the contrary. The BLM will begin collecting
fees of $42 per night for cabin site rentals.
In accordance with BLM recreation fee program policy, the Central
Yukon Field Office has developed a recreational fee business plan that
is available as listed in the ADDRESSES section. The business plan
explains the fee collection process and outlines how fees will be used
at the fee site. Any future adjustments in the fee amounts would be
handled in accordance with the business plan, with public notice before
any fee increase.
The BLM notified and involved the public at each stage of the
planning process for the new fees. The BLM posted written notices of
the proposed fees at the fee site on April 20, 2023. It announced a 30-
day public comment period on the draft business plan on April 20, 2023,
through a BLM news release, BLM social media, and the BLM website. The
draft business plan was publicly available for review and comment at
the BLM Fairbanks District Office and on the BLM Alaska business plan
website from April 20, 2023, to May 20, 2023.
(Authority: 16 U.S.C. 6803(b) and 43 CFR 2933)

BLM Alaska Acting State Director.
