This bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture (through the Forest Service) to issue a 10-year special use permit to place, if needed, and maintain a flagpole that flies the United States flag at Kyhv Peak Lookout Point in the Uinta National Forest. The Secretary must issue the permit within 180 days of the law taking effect. The bill names Robert S. Collins of Provo, Utah, as the first person to receive the permit; if he declines, the permit may go to a "qualified person" who lives in or operates a nonprofit or volunteer group in Utah County and has experience caring for a flagpole. The Secretary may set terms and conditions for the permit, publish notice of availability, and authorize reasonable access to the site. The bill exempts these permit actions from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and prohibits land use fees for the permit. It also requires renewals or new 10-year permits on a defined schedule and allows termination if the holder does not follow permit terms. The bill includes a rule that a permit holder may not accept anything of value in exchange for identifying a person for a future permit.
No publicly available information on federal cost estimates or budgetary effects is included in the bill text. The bill does specify that the Forest Service shall not assess any land use fees for this permit.
