On November 24, 1999, the Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, published proposed regulations for recovering costs associated with processing applications for special use authorizations to use and occupy National Forest System lands and monitoring compliance with these special use authorizations (64 FR 66342). The provisions of this proposed rule would apply to applications and authorizations for use of National Forest System lands. On December 29, 1999, the agency extended the comment period to February 24, 2000 (64 FR 72971). The agency is extending the comment period another 14 days to March 9, 2000, to respond to additional requests from organizations and individuals who have requested more time to review and comment on the document.
