Park Service areas charging a similar entrance fee: Daily - $0.50 per person traveling by any means other than a private vehicle (mainly bus passengers) or $1.00 for the driver and all passengers in a private vehicle; and, Annual - the Recreation/Conservation permit at $7.00, which entitles the holder and all passengers in a private vehicle to any number of visits to Shenandoah and other Federal areas throughout the Unit ed States where a similar fee is charged, through March 31, 1968. Hoskins stressed that the daily fees are good only at the area where purchased. Exerftpt from fee payment are all persons under 16 years of age, commercial or other activities not related to recreation, persons conducting State, local, or Federal government business, and Boy Scouts from foreign countries who are in uniform and are en route to or from the 1967 Boy Scout World Jamboree. Organized school groups traveling through the Park on an educational tour were exempt last year, but under the 1967 regulations, exemption will not be granted, Hoskins said. Also eliminated this year is the 30-day permit which was available last year, he added. The fees were provided under the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 and go into a special fund from which Congress makes appropriations to provide public outdoor recreation areas and facilities. Qualifying States are eligible for 60% of the annual appropriation.
