SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ROD 

incorporates BLM’s selection of the 

Partial Backfill Alternative (Preferred 

Alternative/Selected Alternative). The 

BLM’s decision is based on the analyses 

contained in the Final EIS, and after 

careful consideration of input received 

from the public and cooperating 

agencies. 

The BLM will authorize the plan of 

operations (Plan) for the Robertson Mine 

Project in the ROD, in accordance with 

the BLM Use and Occupancy and 

Surface Management Regulations at 43 

CFR subparts 3715 and 3809. The BLM 

has determined that implementation of 

this ROD, with the identified mitigation 

measures and the Applicant-committed 

Environmental Protection Measures 

(ACEPMs), will not cause unnecessary 

or undue degradation of the public 

lands and is consistent with applicable 

legal requirements. 

In accordance with 40 CFR 1505.2(c), 

the mitigation measures and ACEPMs 

required as part of the Plan represent 

practicable means to avoid or minimize 

environmental harm resulting from 

implementing the BLM’s Selected 

Alternative. All mitigation measures 

within the BLM’s authority will be 

implemented and enforced. 

The operator is responsible for 

obtaining any necessary local, state, and 

Federal permits, licenses, or reviews. 

Other agencies are responsible for 

issuing and enforcing their own 

decisions and applicable authorizations 

for the Project.

Notice of Intent To Establish 

Recreation Fees in the Uncompahgre 

Field Office, Colorado 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Lands 

Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA), 

the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), 

Uncompahgre Field Office (UFO) 

intends to establish fee areas and to 

collect recreation fees at five existing 

campgrounds, three proposed 

campgrounds, and eight day-use 

recreation sites located within the UFO 

administrative boundaries in Delta, 

Gunnison, Mesa, Montrose, Ouray, and 

San Miguel Counties, Colorado. 

DATES: New fees will take effect on May 

21, 2025, unless the BLM publishes a 

Federal Register Notice to the contrary. 

ADDRESSES: Documents concerning this 

fee proposal may be reviewed at the 

Uncompahgre Field Office, 2465 South 

Townsend Ave., Montrose, CO 81401; 

phone: (970) 240–5310; and online at: 

https://www.blm.gov/programs/ 

recreation/permits-and-fees/businessplans. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Caroline Kilbane, Outdoor Recreation 

Planner, at the Uncompahgre Field 

Office, telephone: 970–240–5310, email: 

ckilbane@blm.gov. 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 for 

contacting the BLM. Individuals outside 

the United States should use the relay 

services offered within their country to 

make international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Consistent 

with FLREA, the intent of recreation 

fees is to help protect natural resources, 

provide for public health and safety, 

and facilitate access to public lands and 

related waters, and not to maximize fee 

revenue. Fees are a way of ensuring that 

those who actively use recreation 

opportunities make a greater, but 

reasonable, contribution toward 

protecting and enhancing those 

opportunities than those who do not 

utilize recreational opportunities. 

FLREA directs the Secretary of the 

Interior to publish a 6-month advance 

notice in the Federal Register whenever 

new recreation fee areas are established. 

In accordance with BLM policy, the 

Business Plan for the UFO explains the 

fee collection process and how fees will 

be used at these sites. 

The BLM intends to assess an 

expanded amenity fee of $12 per night 

per site at five developed campgrounds 

(Lower Beaver, Caddis Flats, Fall Creek, 

Ledges Cottonwood, and Ledges 

Rockhouse) and at three proposed 

campgrounds (Electric Hills Rim, Nucla, 

and Paradox), and to assess a standard 

amenity fee of $4 per vehicle per day at 

eight day-use recreation sites located 

within the UFO administrative 

boundaries in Delta, Gunnison, Mesa, 

Montrose, Ouray, and San Miguel 

Counties, Colorado. A vehicle is defined 

as legal transportation used to access the 

site (e.g., car, truck, motorcycle, van, or 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
92156 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 225 / Thursday, November 21, 2024 / Notices 

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.
