1ST SESSION
H. R. 3268
To provide for the return of fair and reasonable fees to the Federal Govern-
ment for the use and occupancy of National Forest System land under
the recreation residence program, and for other purposes.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
NOVEMBER 9, 1999
Mr. COOK introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee
on Resources
A BILL
To provide for the return of fair and reasonable fees to
the Federal Government for the use and occupancy of
National Forest System land under the recreation resi-
dence program, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Fair Cabin User Fee
Act of 1999’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that—
(1) the recreation residence program is—
(A) a valid use of forest land and 1 of the
multiple uses of the National Forest System;
and
(B) an important component of the recre-
ation program of the Forest Service;
(2) cabins located on forest land have provided
a unique recreation experience to a large number of
cabin owners, their families, and guests each year
since Congress authorized the recreation residence
program in 1915;
(3) tract associations, cabin owners, their ex-
tended families, guests, and others that regularly
use and enjoy forest cabin tracts have contributed
significantly toward efficient management of the
program and the stewardship of forest land;
(4) cabin user fees have traditionally generated
income to the Federal Government in amounts sig-
nificantly greater than the Federal cost of admin-
istering the program;
(5) the rights and privileges granted to owners
of cabins authorized under the program have stead-
ily diminished while regulatory restrictions and fees
charged under the program have steadily increased;
and
(6) the current fee determination procedure has
been shown to incorrectly reflect market value and
value of use.
SEC. 3. PURPOSES.
The purposes of this Act are—
(1) to ensure, to the maximum extent prac-
ticable, that the National Forest System recreation
residence program is managed to preserve the oppor-
tunity for individual and family-oriented recreation
at a reasonable cost; and
(2) to develop and implement a more efficient,
cost-effective procedure for determining cabin user
fees that better reflects the probable value of that
use by the cabin owner, taking into consideration the
limitations of the authorization and other relevant
market factors.
SEC. 4. DEFINITIONS.
In this Act:
(1) AGENCY.—The term ‘‘agency’’ means the
Forest Service.
(2) AUTHORIZATION.—The term ‘‘authoriza-
tion’’ means a special use permit for the use and oc-
cupancy of National Forest System land by a cabin
owner under the authority of the program.
