(a) Wrongful entry. No person shall enter or use park areas, use park camping grounds or other facilities, or otherwise participate in Park Service programs or activities for which fees have been designated without first paying the required fees. Any violation of this provision is punishable as provided in § 1.3 of these regulations. (b) Types of fees. There are prescribed for all park areas and facilities which are designated as fee areas and facilities an annual multiarea admission and user fee, daily admission and user fees, campground user fees and certain special miscellaneous user fees, as hereinafter set forth. The campground and special user fees may be charged, where so designated, in addition to or in lieu of other user fees. (c) Annual National Parklands Passport. (1) An annual multiarea permit, known as the National Parklands Passport, is available to the public for a charge of $7. The permit is valid for the calendar year in which it is issued and will enable visitors to all designated fee areas administered by the National Park Service to enter and use services and/or facilities normally available to visitors which are provided by the Federal Government. The service will also allow a credit of $1, per night to a holder of this passport toward the charge assessed for campground use in the areas it administers. (2) The National Parklands Passport will be valid at all designated fee areas for the purchaser, the purchaser and his immediate family, or any member of the purchaser's immediate family, regardless of the mode of transportation or method of entrance. It will also cover any persons who accompany the purchaser in a "private noncommercial vehicle" at areas commonly entered by such vehicles. At areas commonly entered on foot, the passport will be valid only for the purchaser unless he is in a family unit. As used in this section "private noncommercial vehicle" shall include any passenger car, station wagon, pickup, camper truck, motorcycle, or other motor vehicle which is conventionally used for private recreation purposes. (3) The National Parklands Passport issued pursuant to this section shall be validated by the signature of the owner or permittee on the permit. This permit shall be visibly displayed or exhibited at designated fee areas or facilities, as requested through signs or by authorized National Park Service employees. (d) Daily permits. (1) For a person not possessing the annual National Parklands Passport, a 1-day single area permit and in some instances a 1-day multiarea permit (where certain areas are in proximity and offer similar services and facilities) is available at designated fee areas commonly entered by private noncommercial vehicles at rates ranging from $1 to $2 per such vehicle. This permit is valid for the particular park area or areas for which it is issued. Like the National Parklands Passport, it will enable a visitor to a designated fee area to enter and use services and/or facilities available to visitors which are provided by the Federal Government. The charge assessed per private noncommercial vehicle will be dependent on the diversity and extent of the services and facilities available in the area for day-use and would include such services and facilities as roads, trails, visitor centers, elevators, picnic area, boat launching sites, guarded swimming beaches, walks or hikes, campfire, and other interpretive programs and guide fees. For a person entering such a designated fee area on foot, by bicycle, commercial bus, or by any other means than private noncommercial vehicle, a permit is available at a rate of $0.50 per person, per day. This permit will enable visitors at such designated fee areas to enter and use services and/or facilities available to visitors which are provided by the Federal Government. (2) For certain historical sites, caves, and other special fee areas of a similar nature, where the area or primary feature is customarily entered on foot, a special daily admission permit is available at rates ranging from $0.50 to $2 per person, per day, depending on the value of the services and facilities provided. This permit is valid for the particular area for which it is issued and will enable a visitor to such area to enter and use services and/or facilities available to visitors which are provided by the Federal Government. The permits prescribed under subparagraph (1) of this paragraph will not be available at these special daily fee areas. (3) Each of the daily permits referred to in this paragraph (d) is valid for a single visit or series of visits during the calendar day for which they are pur chased. In addition, at areas in which overnight use is provided, either of the permits issued under subparagraph (1) of this paragraph is valid until noon of the day following purchase unless the areas are posted for an earlier departure time, in which case the permits are valid only until such departure time. The daily permits do not have credit value toward overnight campground use. (e) Campground permits. Permits are available for the use of designated fee campgrounds as follows: (1) Type "A" campgrounds (having well-defined roads, parking space, campsites, drinking and sanitary facilities, including flush toilets and refuse cans which are furnished on a community basis)-minimum fee for the permit is $2 per site, per night. This minimum fee is subject to adjustment to conform to rates for comparable facilities and services prevailing in the private sector, in the general recreation district where the park is situated. A credit of $1 per night toward payment of the campground fee wil be allowed holders of the National Parklands Passport in areas administered by the National Park Service. (2) Type "B" campgrounds (an area other than described under subparagraph (1) of this paragraph which is designated and used for camping, and has only minimal basic sanitary and other facilities)-minimum fee for the permit of $1 per site, per night. This minimum fee is subject to adjustment to conform to rates for comparable facilities and services prevailing in the private sector, in the general recreation district where the park is situated. A credit of $1 per night toward payment of the campground fee will be allowed holders of the National Parklands Passport in areas administered by the National Park Service. (3) Type "C" campgrounds (group camp areas without cabins designated for use by organizations such as the Boy Scouts, church, and school groups, or other large parties)-$0.25 per person, per night for the permit. Persons who possess the National Parklands Passport will not be required to pay the individual fees for this type of campground use. (f) Miscellaneous special use permits. Fees may be established for such specialized facilities, operations, or uses, as group cabin camps, boat trips, vehicle parking, boat docking, developed boat launching ramps, elevators, bath houses, special purpose recreational vehicle--use privileges (appropriate charges may be made for additional vehicles), and other activities and operations which generate heavy operating expenses, personal services or investments of funds beyond those required for normal visitor use, or where it is not possible or practical to include such charges in a general admission and use fee. Notice of the establishment of such miscellaneous special user fees shall be given in the manner prescribed in paragraph (g) of this section for giving notice of designations of fee areas generally. (g) Designation of fee areas. Admission and use permits, including campground and special use permits, all as established pursuant to this section, will be required only at those areas or for those facilities which have been formally designated as fee areas and facilities by the Director of the National Park Service. Notification to the public of such designations shall be accomplished by posting such information conspicuously at each area and by local public announcements, press releases and other suitable means, and no fee established pursuant to this section shall be effective until the area or facility for which it is assessed has been posted as a designated fee area or facility. Signs used for this purpose at park areas may be used in combination with, or incorporated into, entrance signs. (h) Waiver of fees. (1) Admission and day-use fees will not be charged under this subsection for persons who have not reached their 16th birthday, except when operating a private noncommercial vehicle, but such persons will not be exempt from payment of required camping fees and miscellaneous special fees-except as possession of an annual permit may reduce the applicable camping fees. (2) Admission and day-use fees will be waived for organized elementary and high school age groups and for accompanying adults who assume responsibility for their safety and orderly conduct. This provision applies to school groups, national, regional, or local youth organizations and privately operated youth camps. Such groups and their adult leaders will not, however, be exempt from payment of required camping fees and miscellaneous special use fees--except as possession of the annual permit may reduce the applicable camping fees. (3) Upon proper identification, the admission and day-use fees and/or camping fees will be waived for: Educational and scientific groups from bona fide educational institutions, groups conducting seasonal church services, hospital inmates involved in medical therapy and groups of disadvantaged youth sponsored by government agencies, charitable organizations, churches, or other community service groups. (4) Admission and day-use fees will be waived for specialized uses such as commercial and other nonrecreational activities, ingress to and egress from private residences on roads traversing designated fee areas; and authorized governmental and employee activities. (5) Persons and groups desiring a waiver of fees under subparagraphs (2) and (3) of this paragraph should advise the Superintendent, in advance. (6) Nothing in these regulations shall authorize the establishment or issuance of Federal hunting or fishing licenses or fees.
