    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, 1997, through September 30, 1998, the fees 
    in this notice will become effective October 1, 1997. The fees will 
    apply to fiscal year 1998 annual charges for the use of government 
    lands.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 1997.
