Notice of Meeting
AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.
SUMMARY: The Forest Service will hold a meeting to gather public
comments on the development of a new fee system for ski areas on
National Forest System lands on Wednesday, February 1, 1995, from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m., in Washington, DC. The purpose of the meeting is to
obtain comments from interested persons regarding methods other than
the current graduated rate fee system for determining the fair market
value of the use of National Forest System lands for ski areas.
DATES: The meeting will be held Wednesday, February 1, 1995, from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the J.W. Marriott Hotel, 1331
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
To request information about the meeting or a compilation of valuation
methods under consideration, contact Lyle Laverty, Director,
Recreation, Heritage, and Wilderness Resources Staff (2300), USDA
Forest Service, PO Box 96090, Washington, DC 20090-6090, (202) 205-
1706, FAX (202) 260-6510.
Persons who wish to make a brief oral presentation at the meeting
should contact Lyle Laverty no later than January 27, 1995, in order to
have time reserved on the agenda. In general, oral presentations will
be limited to a total time of 3 minutes. Written comments may be
submitted at the meeting; they also may be mailed to Lyle Laverty prior
to the meeting and will be accepted up to February 10, 1995.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Forest Service issues permits to more
than 120 ski areas for use and occupancy of National Forest System
lands. The current ski area permit fee system, the graduated rate fee
system, has been the subject of several audits in the last five years,
as well as administrative appeals and litigation concerning decisions
as to how the fees are calculated. In response, the Forest Service is
developing a new fee system for ski area permits based on fair market
value. The purpose of this meeting is to gain public input on whether
the Forest Service has identified pertinent methods for determining the
fair market value of the use of National Forest System land by ski
areas. Lyle Laverty will chair the meeting. The Forest Service will
provide a compilation of the methods under consideration upon request.
Dated: January 13, 1995.
David G. Unger,
Associate Chief.
