Show full summary
- Local residents and nonprofits: The bill would give the first 10-year permit to Robert S. Collins of Provo, Utah. If he declines, the permit would go to a qualified Utah County resident or a local nonprofit under a set priority order, and the Secretary may not charge land-use fees for the permit.
- Visitors and public access: The Secretary could authorize reasonable access to Kyhv Peak so permit holders can exercise their rights, subject to conditions that protect public safety and natural resources.
- Forest Service administration: The bill would remove the National Environmental Policy Act review for issuing, renewing, or administering these permits and would let the Secretary set permit terms, renew 10-year permits within 180 days, or terminate a permit early for noncompliance.
