A. Annual fee
review. The Board shall annually review and set fees for entrance, camping, and
overnight parking at a state park. The Board shall base the fees upon an
analysis of the following criteria:
1. Fee and
permit charges of state park agencies in the 11 western states,
2. Fee and permit charges of entities with
similar facilities within Arizona,
3. Operational and developmental costs of the
Board,
4. Public demand for
services, and
5. Public-use impacts
upon park resources.
B.
The Board shall ensure that fees for entrance, camping, and overnight parking
are posted at each state park and printed in state-park literature intended for
public information.
C. Fee
schedule. Entrance, camping, and overnight parking fees for each state park are
listed in Exhibit A.
D. Special use
fees. The Director shall negotiate a fee for a special use if the Director
determines that a fee greater than the fee listed in Exhibit A is justified
based upon analysis of the following criteria:
1. Board expenses resulting from the special
use,
2. Loss of revenue resulting
from the special use,
3. Impacts
upon park resources and visitors as a result of the special use, and
4. The goodwill produced for sponsors of the
special use.
E.
Interpretive program fees. The Director may establish a special fee for or
waive the usual state park entrance fee during an interpretive program. The
Director shall determine whether to assess a special fee or waive the usual
state park entrance fee for an interpretive program using the criteria
specified in subsection (D). If the Director establishes a special fee for an
interpretive program, the Director shall ensure that the special fee is posted
and printed in state-park literature in advance of the interpretive
program.
F. Commercial permit. A
person that intends to enter a state park to conduct any portion of a business
that is not covered by a concession or special use permit shall obtain either a
commercial retail or commercial rental permit from the Board before entering
the state park. A commercial permit authorizes one commercial vehicle carrying
no more than four individuals to enter the state park for which the commercial
permit is issued.

Editor's Note: The
Arizona State Parks Board amended this Section effective January 1, 1998, under
an exemption from the Arizona Administrative Procedure Act. Exemption from this
Act means this Section was not submitted to the Office of the Secretary of
State for publication as a proposed rule in the Arizona Administrative
Register; no public comment period or public hearings were required to be held
on this rule; and the rule was not reviewed or approved by the Governor's
Regulatory Review Council (Supp. 97-4). Editor's Note: The Arizona State Parks
Board repealed the old Section text as specified in the following Editor's
Note, effective January 12, 1996, under an exemption from the Arizona

an exemption from the provisions of the Arizona Administrative Procedure Act
but did not repeal the old rule. Therefore the text of both the old Section and
the new Section appear here, with the old Section appearing first and the new
Section appearing second. The agency will be repealing the old text soon. The
following Section was adopted under an exemption from the provisions of the
Arizona Administrative Procedure Act. Exemption from this Act means that this
Section was not reviewed by the Governor's Regulatory Review Council; notice of
this rule was not submitted to the Office of the Secretary of State for
publication in the Arizona Administrative Register; no public comment period or
public hearings were required to be held on this rule; and the Attorney General
