Grand Canyon Chamber - Special Update NPS Fee Update Questions Answered
November 20, 2017
Message From The General Manager Laura Chastain |
I wanted to take a moment to share some questions I had answered by Donald Leadbetter: 1) Does NPS have avg length of visits for each of the 17 parks with proposed fee changes? Have you consider length of visit with the proposed fees? Chamber Members: We are closing in on the public comment period for the proposed fee changes for both individual visitors and CUA (Commercial Use Authorization) and I am hoping all of you have had a chance to review the proposed changes. The Chamber is preparing our comments but we would like to be able to include feedback from you as well. Please consider completed a quick Google Survey by Friday Nov 17th for us - so we can finalize our comments which are due November 23rd. Here are the links of proposed changes for your review: Public comments on the proposed seasonal entry fees for visitors will be accepted October 24, 2017 to November 23, 2017 on the NPS Planning, Environment, and Public Comment (PEPC) website at https://parkplanning.nps.gov/proposedpeakseasonfeerates. Public comments on the proposed CUA requirements, CUA fees, and commercial entrance fees will be accepted October 24, 2017 to November 23, 2017 on the NPS PEPC website at https://parkplanning.nps.gov/commercialtourrequirements. Written comments for both proposals may be mailed to: National Park Service, Recreation Fee Program, 1849 C Street NW, Mail Stop 2346, Washington, DC 20240 |
