Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Modernization Act of 2014

Summary

Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Modernization Act of 2014 - Amends the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act to extend the authority for the collection and expenditure of recreation fees on federal lands through 2020. Authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to: charge day use fees for lands and waters at a National Conservation Area, a National Volcanic Monument, a destination visitor or interpretive center, and sites of concentrated public use that meet specified criteria; charge transportation fees at National Park Service units; charge amenity fees for the use of facilities or services on federal lands; charge fees for special recreation permits issued to recreation service providers and for individual and group use of federal facilities, lands, and waters; and issue recreation concession permits to provide facilities and services on lands and waters managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Prohibits the Secretary from charging recreation fees for any site, area, or activity except as authorized by statute. Requires the Secretary to determine a nationally consistent fee policy and rate structure for specified fees authorized by this Act. Establishes a stewardship program for recreation service providers involving credit against permit fees in exchange for maintenance and resource protection work performed. Requires congressional approval of certain new or increased fees. Increases the portion of fee revenue available for expenditure at the collection site from 80% to 90%. Limits fee revenues that the Secretary may use for overhead, administrative, and collection costs.
