                     The Committee  on Natural Resources, to whom was referred the

                   reports favorably thereon without amendment   and  recommends

                                    PURPOSE  OF THE LEGISLATION
                     The purpose of H.R. 3324  is to extend the authority to collect
                   Shasta-Trinity Marina fees through fiscal year 2029.
                               BACKGROUND  AND  NEED FOR  LEGISLATION
                     The Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity  National Recreation Area  in
                   Northern California is made up of 246,087 acres split between two
                   separate areas: Whiskeytown (42,500 acres) and the Shasta  and
                   Trinity units (203,587 acres). The National Park Service manages
                   the Whiskeytown  National Recreation Area, and the U.S. Forest
                   Service (USFS) manages  the Shasta and  Trinity National Recre-
                   ation Area within  the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. Each of
                   these units encompass separate large reservoirs and the proximity
                   to these man-made lakes, along with an abundance of mountainous
                   terrain, make these recreation areas very popular with hunters,
                   anglers, and outdoor recreationists.
                     H.R. 3324 would extend the authority of the Shasta-Trinity Na-
                   tional Forest to collect and retain existing marina fees to enhance
                   recreation and improve  access at  the Shasta-Trinity National
