S. 3046 would make permanent the authority of the Department of Agriculture to collect and retain marina fees at the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. That authority expired in 2019 and has been extended in annual appropriation acts since then.
Marina fees are recorded in the budget as offsetting receipts (reductions in direct spending) and are available to be spent without further appropriation. The fees are used by the Shasta‑Trinity National Forest to improve access to and enhance the recreation area, including lake cleanup, facilities maintenance, and education programs. CBO estimates that enacting S. 3046 would increase both receipts and their subsequent spending; thus, the net change in direct spending would be negligible over the 2024-2033 period.
