    Title: Fee Envelope; Rules of Occupancy for Short-Term, Non-
Commercial Use of Government Facilities.
    OMB Control Number: 0596-0106.
    Summary of Collection: The Federal Lands Recreation and Enhancement 
Act (16 U.S.C. 6801-6814) authorizes the Forest Service (FS) to collect 
recreation fees for use of government facilities and services. Every 
year millions of people visit National Forest System recreations sites. 
At some of these sites, the public is required to pay a fee to use the 
site. Fees are charged to help cover the costs of operating and 
maintaining fee sites, areas, and facilities such as campgrounds. The 
Forest Service (FS) used the Recreation Fee Permit Envelope for 
collection of these fees. Two forms (FS 2300-26, Fee Envelopes and FS 
2300-43, Permit for Short-Term, Non-commercial Use of Government-Owned 
Cabins and Lookouts) are used to collect information from visitors.
    Need and Use of the Information: Personal information such as 
names, addresses, telephone number, length of stay, amount paid, 
requested dates of occupancy, party size and vehicle registration are 
collected. FS will collect information from the forms to document when 
visitors pay a required recreation fee and to schedule requests for use 
and occupancy of government owned facilities.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 2,100,500.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (per visit).
    Total Burden Hours: 105,125.
