Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary concerned shall implement a program to authorize the issuance of transitional special recreation permits for a new or additional reoccurring outfitting, guiding, or other recreation service, as determined by the Secretary concerned, on Federal recreational lands and waters managed by the Chief of the Forest Service or the Director of the Bureau of Land Management. A transitional special recreation permit issued under subsection
(a)shall be issued for a term of 2 years. On the request of a recreation service provider that holds a transitional special recreation permit under the program implemented under subsection (a), the Secretary concerned shall provide for the issuance of a long-term special recreation permit for outfitting and guiding to replace the transitional special recreation permit if the Secretary concerned determines that the recreation service provider— has held not less than 2 transitional special recreation permits or similar permits issued under— the program implemented under subsection (a); or any other program to issue similar special recreation permits in existence before the date of enactment of this Act; during the 3-year period preceding the request, has not been determined to have a performance that is less than satisfactory, as determined under the monitoring process described in section 314(a), for any transitional special recreation permits or similar special recreation permits issued by the Secretary concerned, including the transitional special recreation permit proposed to be replaced, for the respective unit of Federal recreational lands and waters; and notwithstanding section 314(b)(3), has used not less than 50 percent of the visitor-use days allocated to the recreation service provider under the transitional special recreation permit. The term of a long-term special recreation permit under this subsection issued to replace a transitional special recreation permit under paragraph
(1)shall be for a period of 5 or 10 years, as determined to be appropriate by the Secretary concerned. In replacing a transitional special recreation permit under paragraph
(1)with a long-term special recreation permit for outfitting and guiding, the Secretary concerned may, at the discretion of the Secretary concerned, increase the number of visitor-use days allocated to the recreation service provider under the long-term special recreation permit for outfitting and guiding. Nothing in this section alters or affects the authority of the Secretary concerned to issue a special recreation permit under subsection (h)(1) of section 803 of the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act ( 16 U.S.C. 6802 ) (as amended by section 203(a)(3)).
