    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    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 Chief Financial Officer, 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, 1998, through September 30, 
    1999, the fees in this notice will become effective October 1, 1998. 
    The fees will apply to fiscal year 1999 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 351 of 
    the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, 5 
    U.S.C. 804(2).
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 1998.
