Title: Outfitter and Guide Special Use Authorizations (Forest Service Handbook 2709.11, Chapter 40) 
Abstract: The Forest Service is publishing a final agency directive to amend Forest Service Handbook 2709.11, section 41.53, regarding the administration of outfitting and guiding special use authorizations. This action is being taken to simplify the application and administration process for temporary use permits; offer the same terms and conditions to educational and institutional permit holders as to other types of permit holders; clarify policy for priority use permits governing performance, inspections, and allocation of use; and develop a process for allocation of use on a first-come, first-served basis for temporary use permits to facilitate greater participation in outfitting and guiding by youth, educational, and religious groups. In addition, the Forest Service is revising a directive governing insurance requirements for Forest Service special use permits.
