18 CFR Part 11

[Docket No. RM86-2-000]


Update of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Fees 
Schedule for Annual Charges for the Use of Government Lands

November 9, 1999.
AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; update of Federal land use fees.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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). 
The final rule revised the billing procedures for annual charges for 
administering Part I of the Federal Power Act, the billing procedures 
for charges for Federal dam and land use, and the methodology for 
assessing Federal land use charges.
    In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Commission by 
its designee, the Executive Director, 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, 1999, through September 30, 2000, the fees 
in this notice will become effective October 1, 1999. The fees will 
apply to fiscal year 2000 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 351of 
the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, 5 U.S.C 
804(2).

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 1999.
