    Update of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Fees 
    Schedule for Annual Charges for the Use of Government Lands
    
    November 9, 1999.
    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, 1999, through September 30, 2000, the fees 
    in this notice will become effective October 1, 1999. The fees will 
    apply to fiscal year 2000 annual charges for the use of government 
    lands.
        The Commission has concluded, with the concurrence of the 
    Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs of 
    OMB that this rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined in section 351of 
    the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, 5 U.S.C 
    804(2).
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 1999.
