Has the BLM sought input from public land users, including recreationists, in developing this program?
Yes. The BLM has sought input from the public by holding open houses and public meetings, using the Resource Advisory Councils, distributing press releases and performing outreach to special interest groups. The public has also been involved in determining how the money is used. Each recreation site manager is required, through the Recreation Fee Demonstration Program policy, to make available annually site specific reports on how the money is being used to improve the recreation program. These reports are available to the public upon request.
