H.R. 4386: To amend the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act to clarify entrance privileges for vehicles with respect to the America the Beautiful interagency pass.

This bill proposes an amendment to the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, specifically addressing the guidelines for entrance privileges for vehicles using the America the Beautiful interagency pass. The key points of the bill include:

1. Clarification of Guidelines

The bill aims to clarify that the Secretaries involved (likely referring to the Secretaries of the Interior or Agriculture) shall provide guidelines regarding the access to federal recreational lands. It removes previous wording that was less direct and emphasizes the requirement to issue guidelines.

2. Vehicle Access Under the Pass

The amendment specifies how the America the Beautiful pass applies to different types of vehicles:

• If a passholder uses the pass to access federal recreational lands and waters on a fee-per-vehicle basis, the pass will cover:
• The entrance fee and any standard amenity recreation fee for the passholder and all passengers in a single private, noncommercial vehicle.
• If accessing by motorcycle, the pass covers:
• The passholder and any passengers on that motorcycle.
• One additional motorcycle, including its passengers, if they accompany the passholder.

3. Application to Recreational Lands

The adjustments emphasize that these provisions apply specifically to federal recreational lands and waters, potentially affecting how individuals and groups access and utilize these areas under the America the Beautiful program.

4. Purpose of the Amendment

The overall purpose of the bill is to ensure that the access privileges granted by the America the Beautiful interagency pass are clearly defined for those entering federal sites, which could enhance user experience and reduce confusion among passholders regarding what is covered by the pass.
