California District, which includes the Bishop, Bakersfield, Central 
Coast, Ukiah and Mother Lode Field Offices. The meeting will include 
consideration by the RAC of proposed campground fee increases for the 
Bishop Field Office. The RAC charter states:

    Upon the request of the Designated Federal Official (DFO), the 
Council may make recommendations regarding a standard amenity 
recreation fee or an expanded recreation amenity fee, whenever the 
recommendations related to public concerns in the state or region 
covered by the council regarding:
    (A) The implementation of a standard amenity recreation fee or an 
expanded amenity recreation fee or the establishment of a specific 
recreation fee site;
    (B) The elimination of a standard amenity recreation fee or an 
expanded amenity recreation fee; or
    (C) The expansion or limitation of the recreation fee program.
    The Council may make these recommendations for the BLM when amenity 
recreation fees are at issue and it would facilitate implementation of 
the REA. With the concurrence of the Forest Service (FS) when their 
amenity recreation fees are at issue, the Council may also make these 
recommendations for BLM and/or FS if that would facilitate the 
effective implementation of the REA.
    There will be a presentation on the fee proposal at 3 p.m. on 
Thursday, Oct. 20. Information on the proposed fee increase is 
available on the web at http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/bishop.html.
