other wheeled conveyance). In addition, 

the BLM plans to offer a site-specific 

Standard Amenity Pass/Annual Day-Use 

Pass for all day-use sites in the UFO of 

$20 per year. The campgrounds will 

provide the expanded amenities, and 

the day-use sites will provide the 

standard amenities, necessary for the 

establishment and collection of fees 

prior to fee collection. The fees will 

assist the BLM in meeting recreation 

and visitor service goals within the UFO 

and promote consistency in 

management for recreational visitors 

and interested publics. Any areas where 

dispersed/undeveloped camping is 

permitted would continue to be 

available throughout the UFO without a 

reservation or fee. 

To stay current with rising 

management and maintenance costs, the 

BLM will utilize the Western U.S. 

Consumer Price Index (CPI) to 

determine future fee adjustments. The 

Western U.S. CPI is published online 

monthly and annually in January at: 

https://www.bls.gov/cpi/regionalresources.htm. Every January after fee 

implementation begins, the BLM would 

use the yearly CPI average to determine 

consistent fees for the campgrounds and 

day use sites. When the CPI increase or 

decrease equates to a $2 incremental 

change for campsite fees or $1 

incremental change for per vehicle day 

use fees, then the fees would be 

adjusted accordingly. This measure 

would result in a sustainable and 

consistent funding source that would 

increase assurances for users that the 

program could continue to provide 

regular maintenance and necessary 

capital improvements into the future. 

If the UFO decides to make 

reservation services or other types of ecommerce options available in the 

future, an expanded amenity fee for 

reservation services would be charged 

in addition to any other standard or 

expanded amenity fees in accordance 

with 16 U.S.C. 6802(g)(2)(G). The 

expanded amenity fee is subject to 

contracting requirements and will be 

adjusted with contract changes or with 

future updates to the business plan. 

People holding an America the 

Beautiful Pass—The National Parks and 

Federal Recreational Lands Senior Pass 

or Access Pass, or a Golden Age or 

Golden Access Passport, would be 

entitled to a 50 percent fee reduction on 

all expanded amenity fees. A public 

comment period on the draft business 

plan, announced by news release, ran 

from August 12, 2024, to September 16, 

2024. In accordance with FLREA 

guidelines, the BLM presented the draft 

business plan to the Southwest 

Resource Advisory Council (RAC) at its 

September and December 2022 

meetings, which was followed by robust 

discussion. The RAC will review the 

final draft business plan and public 

comments received and make a 

recommendation at its next meeting.
