6.  No soil, trees, or other vegetation may be destroyed or removed from National Forest System lands without specific prior written permission from the authorized officer.

 

7.  The holder shall comply with all federal, state, county, and municipal laws, ordinances, and regulations, which are applicable to the area or operations covered by this permit.

 

8.  The holder shall maintain the improvements and premises to standards of repair, orderliness, neatness, sanitation, and safety acceptable to the authorized officer.  The holder shall fully repair and bear the expense for all damages, other than ordinary wear and tear, to National Forest System lands, roads and trails caused by the holder's activities.

 

9.  The holder has the responsibility of inspecting the use area and adjoining areas for dangerous trees, hanging limbs, and other evidence of hazardous conditions, which would pose a risk of injury to individuals.  After securing permission from the authorized officer, the holder shall remove such hazards.

 

10.  The holder shall be liable for any damage suffered by the United States resulting from or related to use of this permit, including damages to National Forest resources and costs of fire suppression.

 

11.  The holder shall hold harmless the United States from any liability from damage to life or property arising from the holder's occupancy or use of National Forest System lands under this permit.

19.  Pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 3717, et seq., interest shall be charged on any fee amount not paid within 30 days from the date the fee or fee calculation financial statement specified in this authorization becomes due.  The rate of interest assessed shall be the higher of the rate of the current value of funds to the U.S. Treasury (i.e., Treasury tax and loan account rate), as prescribed and published by the Secretary of the Treasury in the Federal Register and the Treasury Fiscal Requirements Manual Bulletins annually or quarterly or at the Prompt Payment Act rate.  Interest on the principal shall accrue from the date the fee or fee calculation financial statement is due. 

 

In the event the account becomes delinquent, administrative costs to cover processing and handling of the delinquency will be assessed.

 

A penalty of 6 percent per annum shall be assessed on the total amount delinquent in excess of 90 days and shall accrue from the same date on which interest charges begin to accrue.

 

Payments will be credited on the date received by the designated collection officer or deposit location.  If the due date for the fee or fee calculation statement falls on a non-workday, the charges shall not apply until the close of business on the next workday.

 

Disputed fees are due and payable by the due date.  No appeal of fees will be considered by the Forest Service without full payment of the disputed amount.  Adjustments, if necessary, will be made in accordance with settlement terms or the appeal decision.

 

If the fees become delinquent, the Forest Service will:

 

Liquidate any security or collateral provided by the authorization.

 

If no security or collateral is provided, the authorization will terminate and the holder will be responsible for delinquent fees as well as any other costs of restoring the site to it's original condition including hazardous waste cleanup.

 

Upon termination or revocation of the authorization, delinquent fees and other charges associated with the authorization will be subject to all rights and remedies afforded the United States pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 3711 et seq.  Delinquencies may be subject to any or all of the following conditions:

Delinquencies in excess of 60 days shall be referred to United States Department of Treasury for appropriate collection action as provided by 31 U.S.C. 3711 (g), (1).

 

The Secretary of the Treasury may offset an amount due the debtor for any delinquency as provided by 31 U.S.C. 3720, et seq.) 

 

20.  For the purpose of administering this permit (including ascertaining that fees paid were correct and evaluating the propriety of the fee base), the holder agrees to make all of the accounting books and supporting records to the business activities, as well as those of sublesees operating within the authority of this authorization, available for analysis by qualified representatives of the Forest Service or other Federal agencies authorized to review the Forest Service activities.  Review of accounting books and supporting records shall be made at dates convenient to the holder and reviewers.  Financial information so obtained shall be treated as confidential as provided in regulations issued by the Secretary of Agriculture.  The holder shall retain the above records and keep them available for review for 5 years after the end of the year involved, unless disposition is otherwise approved by the authorized officer in writing.

 

21.  Appeal of any provisions of this authorization or any requirements thereof shall be subject to the appeal regulations at 36 CFR Part 214 or revisions thereto.
