Notice of Intent To Collect Fees on 

Public Land in Fremont County, Idaho, 

Upper Snake Field Office Under the 

Federal Lands Enhancement Act 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement 

Act (REA), the Upper Snake Field Office 

will begin collecting fees for the day use 

area and a fee for use of the Recreational 

Vehicle dump station at Egin Lakes 

Access Recreation Site (Egin). The day 

use fee will be $5 per day for the use 

of the area, and $10 per use of the 

recreational vehicle dump station. A 

$60 season pass will be available. The 

site is located in Fremont County, 

Idaho. 

DATES: Effective Date: There will be a 

public comment period that will expire 

on November 8, 2010. The BLM 

welcomes public comments on this 

proposal, and the public is encouraged 

to participate by submitting their 

comments on fee collection at this site. 

Six months after the publication of this 

notice, the Upper Snake Field Office 

will initiate fee collection in the day use 

area at Egin, unless the BLM publishes 

a notice to the contrary in the Federal 

Register. A recreation fee business plan 

for Egin was completed and reviewed by 

the Idaho Falls District Resource 

Advisory Council (RAC). The RAC 

provided a recommendation to the 

Upper Snake Field Office affirming the 

proposal to collect fees at the Egin Day 

Use Area.

Land Management, 1405 Hollipark

telephone: (208) 524–7500. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Egin 

Day Use Area, which provides 

developed parking and other amenities 

to visitors wishing to recreate on the St. 

Anthony Sand Dunes, is located in 

Township 7 N., Range 39 E., Section 3, 

N 1⁄2, NW 1⁄4 SW 1⁄4, Boise Meridian. 

Pursuant to REA, 16 U.S.C. 6801 et seq., 

and implementing regulations in 43 CFR 

part 2933, fees may be charged for day 

use that occurs in a highly developed, 

highly visited recreation area. The Egin 

Day Use Area qualifies as a ‘‘standard 

amenity recreation fee area’’ under 16 

U.S.C. 6802(f); therefore, a recreation fee 

may be charged for use of the area. Fee 

collection at the Egin Day Use Area is 

consistent with the Medicine Lodge 

Resource Management Plan (1985), and 

the Egin Lakes Area was identified and 

analyzed for day and overnight use fees 

in the environmental assessment 

prepared pursuant to the requirements 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act for the Egin Lakes Project Site Plan 

(2001). Fees for use of the campground 

have been collected for years and will 

continue. Specific visitor fees will be 

identified and posted at the sites. This 

notice announces that visitors must 

purchase a recreation use permit as 

described in 43 CFR 2933 for day use 

and pay a separate fee to use the 

recreational vehicle dump station. Fees 

must be paid at the self-service pay 

station located at the Egin Day Use Area. 

Holders of an America the Beautiful-The 

National Parks and Federal Recreation 

Lands Interagency Annual Pass, 

Interagency Senior or Access Pass, 

Interagency Access Pass, or an 

InteragencyVolunteer Pass will have all 

day use fees waived. 

The BLM is committed to providing 

and receiving fair value for the use of 

developed recreation facilities and 

services in a manner that meets public 

use demands, provides quality 

experiences, and protects important 

resources. Day use fees collected at the 

Egin Lakes Day Use Area will help 

ensure funding for the maintenance of 

existing facilities, and providing 

recreational opportunities and resource 

protection. 

The BLM will report to the RAC each 

year on how the revenue from these fees 

has been used. A copy of this report will 

be available to the public at the Upper 

Snake River Field Office at the address 

listed in the ADDRESSES section above. 

Future adjustments in the fee amount 

will be made in accordance with the 

Egin Lakes Access Recreation Site 

Business Plan, consultation with the 

RAC, and through public notice and 

comment. 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 6803(b).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

As required under the BLM’s 

regulations at 43 CFR 2203.3, a public 

meeting must be held after completion 

of an environmental analysis and prior

factors (see determination of public

exchange. 

The exchange proponents, NanceBrown, seek an exchange as required by 

section 510(b)(5) of SMCRA, which 

provides that owners of coal determined 

to be unminable due to prohibitions 

against mining coal within an alluvial 

valley floor, west of the 100th meridian,

exchange of coal with the Federal 

Government (30 U.S.C. 1260(b)(5)).

the revised stipulation entered on 

January 29, 2010, in Nance v. Salazar, 

No. CV–06–125–BLG–RFC (D. 

Montana), the BLM is considering an 

exchange of Federal coal in Montana, 

within the Ashenhurst Tract, to equal 

the value, as determined by appraisal, of 

approximately 3,379.55 acres of nonFederal coal in the alluvial valley floor 

of the Tongue River, in Montana, owned 

by Nance-Brown.
