Highlights
The General Accounting Office has made a follow-up review of the action taken by the Forest Service through May 1965 to adjust special-use permit fees for summer-home sites. In GAO's report of March 18, 1963, to the Congress on a review of recreation and other selected land use activities of the Forest Service (B-125053), we pointed out that, in some instances, the fees (1) were not computed, in accordance with Forest Service instructions, on the basis of the estimated values of comparable privately owned lands used for the same purpose in the same area or (2) were set at amounts lower than the minimum fees prescribed by the responsible Forest Service regional office.
