Forest Service

    Title: Recreation Fee and Wilderness Program Administration.
    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. The 
Organic Administration Act (16 U.S.C. 473), the Wilderness Act (16 
U.S.C. 1131), and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1271) authorize 
FS to collect information from National Forest System visitors who are 
asked to describe the location of their visit and estimated duration of 
stay. 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. 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.
    Need and Use of the Information: Forms used to collection 
information and fees from visitors: (1) The Recreation Fee Permit 
Envelope (FS 2300-26 and 26a); (2) Permit for Short-Term, Non-
commercial Use of Government-Owned Cabins and Lookouts (FS 2300-43); 
(3) Visitor Permit (FS-2300-30); (4) Visitor Registration Card (FS-
2300-32); (5) National Recreation Application (FS-2300-47) and (6) 
National Recreation Permit (FS-2300-48). Personal information includes, 
but not limited to, names, addresses, telephone number, length of stay, 
amount paid, requested dates of occupancy, party size and vehicle 
registration are collected. If this information and fees was not 
collected FS could not monitor visitation rates in special management 
areas to prevent overuse and site deterioration in environmentally 
sensitive areas.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 1,950,000.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (per visit).
    Total Burden Hours: 130,000.
