    Update of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Fees 
    Schedule for Annual Charges for the Use of Government Lands

    AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
    
    ACTION: Final rule; update of Federal land use fees.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: On May 8, 1987, the Commission issued its final rule amending 
    Part 11 of its regulations (Order No. 469, 52 FR 18201, May 14, 1987). 
    The final rule revised the billing procedures for annual charges for 
    administering Part I of the Federal Power Act, the billing procedures 
    for charges for Federal dam and land use, and the methodology for 
    assessing Federal land use charges.
        In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Commission by 
    its designee, the Executive Director, is updating its schedule of fees 
    for the use of government lands. The yearly update is based on the most 
    recent schedule of fees for the use of linear rights-of-way prepared by 
    the United States Forest Service. Since the next fiscal year will cover 
    the period from October 1, 1996, through September 30, 1997, the fees 
    in this notice will become effective October 1, 1996. The fees will 
    apply to fiscal year 1997 annual charges for the use of government 
    lands.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 1996.
