**Proposed Directive for Additional Seasonal or Year-Round Recreation**  **Activities at Ski Areas**

**AGENCY :**  Forest Service, USDA.

**ACTION :**  Notice of proposed directive; request for public comment.

**SUMMARY :**  The Forest Service is proposing to revise its directives for ski areas authorized under the National Forest Ski Area Permit Act of 1986 (Ski Area Permit Act) (16 U.S.C. 497b) to provide additional guidance for implementing the 2011 amendment to this Act, known as the Ski Area Recreational Opportunity Enhancement Act (SAROEA) (Pub. L. 112–46, 125 Stat. 538). Current directives limit the criteria for determining whether additional seasonal and year-round recreation activities may be approved at ski areas to those listed in SAROEA. The proposed directives would add criteria to help Authorized Officers determine whether proposals for these activities are consistent with SAROEA. The proposed directive also would provide guidance on non-exclusive use at ski areas, that is, recreational use atski areas, such as snowshoeing or crosscountry skiing, by the non-paying public. Furthermore, the proposed directive would clarify policy regarding advertising. Timely comments will be considered in the development of the final directive.

**DATES :**  Comments must be received in writing by December 2, 2013.

**ADDRESSES :**  Submit comments electronically by following the instructions at the Federal eRulemaking portal at http://www.regulations.gov.

Please confine comments to issues pertinent to the proposed directive, explain the reasons for any recommended changes, and, where possible, reference the specific section and wording being addressed. All comments, including names and addresses when provided, will be placed in the record and will be made available to the public for review and copying.

As originally enacted, the Ski Area Permit Act authorized Nordic and alpine skiing at ski areas on NFS lands. On November 7, 2011,
