This bill requires the U.S. Forest Service to issue a 10-year permit allowing a flagpole flying the American flag at Kyhv Peak Lookout Point in Uinta National Forest, Utah, within 180 days of enactment. It waives standard land-use fees and exempts the project from National Environmental Policy Act review, and sets rules for renewing the permit after 10 years.
The permit would first go to Robert S. Collins of Provo, Utah, then to another qualified Utah County applicant if he declines; the Forest Service and future Utah County applicants are also affected.
The bill sets a precedent for Congress directly mandating a specific land-use permit and waiving standard environmental review for a local, symbolic project rather than leaving the decision to normal agency processes.
