AGENCY:

Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION:

Supplementary rules.

SUMMARY:

Notice is hereby given that effective September 5, 2000, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is establishing recreation use fees for campgrounds and picnic grounds that did not have existing supplementary rules related to recreation use fees. BLM is also reaffirming existing supplementary rules for BLM-administered campgrounds and picnic grounds throughout Utah. We are taking this action to authorize the collection of fees from those who use the campgrounds. This action has the effect of requiring users to pay fees for the use of certain designated campgrounds and picnic grounds.
