(B)and (C), if the Secretary concerned has determined that the Department of Agriculture or the Department of the Interior, as applicable, is able to issue new special recreation permits to recreation service providers seeking to use a public land unit, the Secretary concerned shall publish that information on the website of the agency that administers the relevant public land unit. With respect to a public land unit managed by the Forest Service or the Bureau of Land Management, subparagraph

(A)shall not apply to— a renewal or reissuance of an existing special recreation permit; or a new special recreation permit issued to the purchaser of a recreation service provider that is the holder of an existing special recreation permit.

The Secretary concerned shall ensure that information published on the website under this subsection is consistently updated to provide current and correct information to the public. The Secretary concerned shall— establish a system by which potential special recreation permit applicants may subscribe to receive notification of the availability of special recreation permits by electronic mail; and direct employees of the Department of Agriculture or the Department of the Interior, as applicable, to use that system to notify the public of the availability of special recreation permits. Not later than 60 days after the date on which the Secretary concerned receives an application for a special recreation permit for a public land unit, the Secretary concerned shall— provide to the applicant notice acknowledging receipt of the application; and issue a final decision with respect to the application; or provide to the applicant notice of a projected date for a final decision on the application.
