Recreational Fee Demonstration Program Survey (01-NOV-01,	 
GAO-02-88SP).							 
								 
To address concerns about the ability of federal land management 
agencies to provide high-quality recreational opportunities to	 
visitors and to protect resources, Congress authorized the	 
Recreational Fee Demonstration Program. The program focused on	 
recreational activities at four land management agencies: the	 
National Park Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the  
Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and the Forest Service. Under	 
the fee demonstration program, participating agencies were	 
authorized to establish, charge, collect, and use fees at a	 
number of sites to (1) enhance visitor services; (2) address a	 
backlog of needs for repair and maintenance; and (3) manage and  
protect resources. The agencies applied "entrance fees" for basic
admission to an area and "user fees" for specific activities such
as camping or launching a boat. Under the law, 80 percent of	 
program revenue must be used at the site where it was collected, 
and the remaining 20 percent may be distributed to other sites	 
that may or may not be participating in the demonstration	 
program. Some of the sites that GAO surveyed for this study	 
experimented with innovative fee designs and collection methods, 
such as reducing fees during off-peak seasons and allowing	 
visitors to use credit cards, but room for additional innovation 
exists, particularly in the areas of fee collection and 	 
coordination. Improvements in three areas of program management  
are needed to enhance program performance. First, the agencies	 
need to evaluate their managers' performance in administering the
fee program. Second, the agencies need to develop information on 
which fee-collection and coordination practices work best. Third,
the agencies need to resolve interagency management issues. Since
80 percent of the fees must be used at the site where they are	 
collected, higher priority needs at other sites may not be met.  
GAO developed an Internet survey accessible to site managers at  
all 365 fee demonstration sites operating as of September 2000.  
This report summarizes the responses of the site managers. GAO's 
analysis of the survey responses are contained in its report	 
(GAO-02-10).

Recreational Fee Demonstration Program Survey GAO- 02- 88SP, November 2001
Introduction

For many years, the Congress has expressed concern about the ability of
federal land management agencies to continue providing high- quality
recreational opportunities to visitors and to enhance the protection of
resources.  To address this concern, in 1996, the Congress authorized an
experimental initiative called the Recreational Fee Demonstration Program.
The program focuses on the activities of four land management agencies: the
National Park Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Bureau of Land
Management within the Department of the Interior, and the Forest Service
within the Department of Agriculture.  Under the fee demonstration program,
the participating agencies are authorized to establish, charge, collect, and
use fees at a number of sites to enhance visitor services and to protect
resources by, for example, developing interpretative exhibits; addressing a
backlog of needs for repair and maintenance; and addressing resource
management needs.  The program applies mainly to two types of visitor fees:
"entrance fees" for admission to an area and "user fees" for specific
activities, such as camping or launching a boat.  The program is currently
authorized through September 30, 2004. At the request of the Ranking
Minority Member, Subcommittee on National Parks, Historic Preservation,

and Recreation, Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, GAO
reviewed the agencies progress in implementing the fee demonstration
program.  As part of this review, GAO developed an Internet survey and made
it accessible to site managers at all 365 fee demonstration sites operating
as of September 30, 2000.  The survey covered such issues as fee
innovations, fee- collection methods, and attempts to coordinate fees with
other agencies or nearby sites.  In all, managers of 346 of the 365 sites
involved in the demonstration program (or 95 percent) completed this
survey.  This document summarizes the responses of the site managers from
the four agencies.  The highlights of our analysis of the survey responses
are contained in our report entitled Recreation Fees: Management
Improvements Can Help the Demonstration Program Enhance Visitor Services
(GAO- 02- 10).

Opinions about a Nationwide Interagency Pass Opinions about a Nationwide
Interagency Pass Opinions about a Nationwide Interagency Pass Opinions about
a Nationwide Interagency Pass 79. One option to address coordination issues
is the creation of a nationwide interagency

federal lands recreation pass. The pass would cover not only Department of
the Interior agencies but also all other federal recreation providers. While
there is no common definition of what charges such a pass would cover,
generally it could be used for entry, general access, and selected general
use activities at federally managed recreation sites but would not cover use
fees such as camping or boat launch fees. Such a pass would likely replace
the existing Golden Eagle Pass and would not cover state or local recreation
sites.

Opinions About a Regional Interagency Pass Opinions About a Regional
Interagency Pass Opinions About a Regional Interagency Pass Opinions About a
Regional Interagency Pass Another option to address these concerns is the
creation of a regional recreation pass. Again this pass would cover not only
Department of the Interior agencies but also all other federal recreation
providers in the region. In some regions of the country, it might also make
sense to include state or local recreation units as well.

While there is no common definition of what charges such a pass would cover,
it could be used for entry and or general access to federally managed
recreation sites but generally would not cover use fees such as camping or
boat launch fees.
