Rational and Recommendations: 



1. There be allowed up to 10 permltees in aggregate 

 of small to large In size. 



A. The Forest Service should not automatically 

 issue all 10 permits. 



6. That the permits issued be from the most 

 qualified per perspectus. 



C. That 10 large companies would dilute daily 

 launch limits and would not be desirable. 



2. That the number of permits issued realistically 

 reflect the current public demand for services 

 with room for future growth of those permits. 



3. We feel the current permitees have provided and 

 can continue to provide all services needed. That 

 existing permitees be favored heavil v before 

 entertaining perspectus' from new companies. 



A. Current permitees have earned an opportunity 

 to prove themselves under the new system 

 without the unfair restrictions and regulations 

 of the past. 



4. That permitees be allowed to operate over several 

 seasons, up to the launch ceiling until service 

 levels for each company are determined. We 

 recommend that any system set up to deal with 

 launches etc. be on trial basis until all the 

 bugs are worked out and subject to review by the 

 advisory committee as proposed in the study. 



5. Allocations of launches still need clarification 

 and refining but we recommend the following as a 

 start. 



A. Companies should be required to balance use 

 between sections A and B with Section C 

 unlimited but monitored per recommendations 

 of the study. Ratio A/B to be worked out. 



B. We recommend that range of launches be as 

 follows: 



1ST Season April 1 -June 15 (76 days) (30+30*unlimited/monitored 



Float Season June 16-Aug. 31 (77 days )(ao+30+unlimi tee/monitored 



2ND Season Sept. 1-Oct. 31 (61 days) (20+20+unlimi ted/monitored) 



C. That the launch flex be seasonal for the 

 Ist season and 2nd season to facilitate 

 seasonal high/lows. The flex for the float 

 season to be determined.
