Please reference ``1024-New Fee Envelopes'' in your comments. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract Every year millions of people visit units of the National Park System. At some of these sites, the public is required to pay a fee. Fees are charged to help cover the costs of operating and maintaining fee sites, areas, and facilities such as campgrounds. Two forms (NPS 10-935 and NPS 10-936) are used to pay the entrance fee and to collect campground fees, which assist National Park Service (NPS) personnel in improving facilities and services. Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA), Title VIII, Division J, of Public Law 108-447 (16 U.S.C. 6801-6814) authorizes the NPS within the Department of Interior to charge fees at Federal recreation sites which meet certain criteria and reinvest a majority of the revenues into enhancing the site. Recreation fees provide a vital source of revenue for improving facilities and services for visitors at a variety of public lands throughout the nation. The information gathered via the Entrance Fee Envelope (NPS 10-935) and the Campground Fee Envelope (NPS 10-936) must be collected to ensure that visitors to units of the National Park System pay the required entrance and camping fees in certain locations for use of government facilities and services. The information requested on the envelopes includes the following: Entrance Fee Envelope (NPS 10-935):Date Number in group Amount enclosed Interagency Annual/Senior/Access Pass number if applicable Vehicle License number and state Time Credit card type [[Page 36844]] Credit card number Credit card expiration date Name Signature Day time phone number Fee rate you are paying--vehicle/per person/commercial Payment type check/cash/credit card Campground Fee Envelope (NPS 10-936): Date Number in group Number of nights Amount enclosed Interagency Senior/Access Pass number if applicable Site number Vehicle License number and state Check type of camping unit Date of departure Credit card type Credit card number Name Credit card expiration date Signature Day time phone number Payment type check/cash/credit card II.
