SUMMARY: On May 8, 1987, the Commission issued its final rule amending 
Part 11 of its regulations (Order No. 469, 52 FR 18201 May 14, 1987).

    In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Commission by 
its designee, the Chief Financial Officer, is updating its schedule of 
fees for the use of government lands. The yearly update is based on the 
most recent schedule of fees for the use of linear rights-of-way 
prepared by the United States Forest Service. Since the next fiscal 
year will cover the period from October 1, 1998, through September 30, 
1999, the fees in this notice will become effective October 1, 1998. 
The fees will apply to fiscal year 1999 annual charges for the use of 
government lands.
    The Commission has concluded, with the concurrence of the 
Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs of 
OMB that this rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined in section 351 of 
the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, 5 
U.S.C. 804(2).

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 1998.
