BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES




Increasing Entrance Fees

National Park Service




Entrance fees at most National Park Service
units have not been raised or initiated for
over 10 years. When the Park Service tried
to raise fees in 1979, the Congress placed a
temporary moratorium on raising or initiat-
ing fees until its concerns about the impact
on visitors and the link between entrance
fees and operations and maintenance costs
were properly addressed. Had the Park Serv-
;ce used criteria for setting fees in the Land
and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965,
the concerns of the Congress would have
been addressed.

About $21 million annually in additional
net revenues could be collected if fees were
raised or initiated and collection hours at
various units were extended. GAO recom-
mends that the Congress lift the morato-
rium and that the Park Service set entrance
fees in accordance with the legislated cri-
teria.
