Hassayampa Field Office - Agua Fria National Monument Special Recreation Permit Program Business Plan

In 2007, this business plan was prepared pursuant to the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act of 2005, and the subsequent Interagency Implementation Handbook.

The plan addresses the Special Recreation Permit (SRP) fees collected by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for the Hassayampa Field Office (HFO) and Agua Fria National Monument (AFNM) located within the Arizona BLM Phoenix District Office (PDO).

SRP fees collected by the Lower Sonoran Field Office (LSFO) and the Sonoran Desert National Monument (SDNM), also located within PDO, will be addressed under a separate plan to be completed in Fiscal Year (FY) 2007. The plan will explain the SRP program in relation to the REA legislation and the provisions within it; provide background information on the types of SRPs issued; describe the management objectives pertaining to the SRP fee receipts; present the detailed financial aspects in regard to fee collections and expenditures; and address how customers will receive this information and provide feedback.

The intent of this plan is to describe the financial aspects of recreational fee revenues generated through issuance of SRPs. Specifics regarding administrative procedures, processes and related issues are beyond the scope of this plan. The 43 CFR 2930 regulations and the BLM H-2930-1 Manual/Handbook governing SRPs can be obtained by contacting the SRP Coordinator at HFO.
