In the case of a multijurisdictional trip, the Federal land management agencies with jurisdiction over the multijurisdictional trip may offer to the applicant a single joint special recreation permit that authorizes the use of each public land unit under the jurisdiction of those Federal land management agencies. In offering a single joint special recreation permit under paragraph (1), the applicable Federal land management agencies shall designate a lead agency for administering the single joint special recreation permit based on the following considerations:
The length of the multijurisdictional trip and the relative portions of the multijurisdictional trip on each public land unit. The congressional or administrative designations that apply to the areas to be used during the multijurisdictional trip and the degree to which those designations impose limitations on recreational use. The relative ability of the Federal land management agencies with jurisdiction over the multijurisdictional trip to respond to the single joint special recreation permit application in a timely manner.
Other relevant administrative considerations. An applicant desiring to be offered a single joint special recreation permit under paragraph
(1)shall submit to the lead agency an application, as required by the lead agency. An applicant for a special recreation permit for a multijurisdictional trip may apply to each applicable Federal land management agency for a separate permit for the portion of the multijurisdictional trip on the public land unit managed by each applicable Federal land management agency. In issuing a single joint special recreation permit under subsection (a), the lead agency shall— coordinate with each associated agency, consistent with the authority of the Secretary concerned under section 330 of the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001 ( 43 U.S.C. 1703 ), to develop and issue 1 joint permit that covers the entirety of the multijurisdictional trip; in processing the joint special recreation permit application, incorporate the findings, interests, and needs of the associated agency; in issuing the joint special recreation permit, clearly identify the agencies that have the authority to enforce the terms, stipulations, conditions and agreements of the joint special recreation permit, as determined under subsection (d); and complete the permitting process within a reasonable timeframe. The coordination with the associated agency under subsection
(b)shall not be subject to cost recovery. In administering a single joint special recreation permit under subsection (a), the associated agency shall delegate to the lead agency the authority— to enforce the terms, stipulations, conditions, and agreements of the joint special recreation permit, as may be required by the regulations of the Secretary of the associated agency; and to suspend, terminate, or revoke the joint special recreation permit for— noncompliance with Federal, State, or local laws and regulations; noncompliance with the terms of the joint special recreation permit; or failure of the holder of the joint special recreation permit to exercise the privileges granted by the joint special recreation permit. The associated agency shall retain the authority to enforce the terms, stipulations, conditions, and agreements in the joint special recreation permit that apply specifically to the use occurring on the public land unit managed by the associated agency. The lead agency or an associated agency may withdraw from a joint special recreation permit at any time. In the case of a withdrawal by one or more agencies under paragraph (1), if the holder of the joint special recreation permit is in compliance with the requirements of the joint special recreation permit, the lead agency and each associated agency shall issue to the holder of the joint special recreation permit a new, separate special recreation permit for any use occurring on the public land unit managed by the agency. A special recreation permit issued under subparagraph
(A)shall contain the same or substantially similar terms, conditions, and operating stipulations as the joint special recreation permit from which an agency has withdrawn under paragraph (1). The holder of a joint special recreation permit from which an agency has withdrawn under paragraph
(1)shall not be required to submit a new application for a separate special recreation permit under subparagraph (A).
