Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, Pennsylvania and New Jersey; U.S. Route 209 Commercial Vehicle Fees

Résumé

This final rule revises the special regulations for Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. It changes the fee schedule for those commercial vehicles permitted to travel U.S. Route 209 through Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. This paragraph sets a fee schedule by number of axles. It also lists the exceptions to commercial fee requirements. Congress authorized collection of the fees to make the program to manage commercial traffic self-sustaining. In recent years, the cost of fee collection has been greater than annual revenue. The intent of the final rule is to increase fees to a level that will return the program to one that is completely supported by commercial entities using the route.
