USDA shall expend 80% of the ski area permit rental charges from a National Forest System unit at that unit in accordance with the following:

  • 75% shall be used at the unit for activities such as administration of the ski area permit program, visitor information, or reducing the likelihood of wildfire in or adjacent to a recreation site; and
  • 25% shall be used at the unit for activities such as repair of a Forest Service-owned facility, habitat restoration, or search and rescue activities.
