SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service (Service), announce our intent 

to implement amenity fees at Clarks 

River National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge), 

located in Kentucky, as authorized by 

the Federal Lands Recreation 

Enhancement Act (16 U.S.C. 6801–6814; 

REA). Under REA provisions, the Refuge 

will identify and post the specific fees. 

Planned Fees 

Under section 3 of the REA, we will 

implement the following fees at the 

Refuge: 

• A $15 annual hunting and fishing 

permit for adults, and a $5.00 annual 

hunting and fishing permit for seniors. 

There is no fee for youth under the age 

of 16.

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 160 / Monday, August 21, 2017 / Notices 39613 

• A minimum of $50 annual 

recreational special use permit for 

commercial recreational activities. 

These permits will not only allow the 

Refuge to better track visitor numbers 

and usage of the Refuge and harvest 

data, but will also provide the Refuge 

with fees to be used to offset expenses 

for road and parking lot maintenance, 

boundary maintenance, brochures, 

public education programs, law 

enforcement salaries, and expansion/ 

improvements of visitor amenities. It is 

our policy to allow only activities that 

are appropriate and compatible with the 

Refuge’s purposes. 

Background 

In accordance with regulations 

governing the National Wildlife Refuge 

System (50 CFR part 25, subpart E) a 

Refuge may implement fees and other 

reasonable charges for public 

recreational use of lands administered 

by that Refuge. When considering fees, 

a Refuge is required by our regulations 

to evaluate the following: 

• The direct and indirect cost to the 

Government; 

• The benefits to a permit holder; 

• The public interest served; 

• Comparable fees charged by nonFederal public agencies; and 

• The economic and administrative 

feasibility of fee collection. 

The National Wildlife Refuge 

Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 

668dd–668ee) (Refuge Administration 

Act), as amended by the National 

Wildlife Refuge Improvement Act of 

1997, allows National Wildlife Refuges 

to provide wildlife-dependent 

recreation to visitors, but these laws 

require Refuges to manage for the 

conservation of fish, wildlife, and 

habitat for present as well as future 

generations of Americans. To fulfill the 

obligations, the Refuge plans to use 

collected fees to defray costs associated 

with visitor amenities. 

Public Availability of Comments 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement 

Act Authorities and Requirements 

In December 2004, the REA became 

law (16 U.S.C. 6801–6814). The REA 

provides authority for the Secretaries of 

the Department of the Interior and 

Agriculture to establish, modify, charge, 

and collect recreation fees for use of 

some Federal recreation lands and 

waters, and contains specific provisions 

addressing public involvement in the 

establishment of recreation fees. The 

REA also directs the Secretaries of the 

Departments of the Interior and 

Agriculture to publish advance notice in 

the Federal Register whenever bureaus 

establish new recreation fee areas under 

their respective jurisdictions. 

Next Steps 

Should public comment provide 

substantive reasons why we should not 

implement the proposed fee program at 

the Refuge, we may reevaluate our plan 

and publish a subsequent notice in the 

Federal Register withdrawing this 

action. Otherwise, we will implement 

the proposed fee program at the Clarks 

River National Wildlife Refuge on the 

date specified in the DATES section of 

this document, and the Refuge will post 

fee amounts and expenditures onsite. 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 6801–6814. 

Dated: May 3, 2017.

Acting Regional Director, Southeast Region.
