Congress says entrance and recreation fees on federal land shouldn't unfairly single out any state or region. The Secretary had to study existing fees by May 1996 and then recommend fixes by May 1997.

(a) Policy statement. Congress states its intent: entrance, tourism, and recreation fees for federal land and facilities should not discriminate against any state or region of the country. (b) Fee study. The Secretary, working with other affected agencies, had to send Congress a report by May 1, 1996. That report had to: (1) list all federal lands and facilities used for recreation or tourism, and (2) analyze, state by state and region by region, what fees (if any) are charged for entrance or recreational use, looking at each place individually and all of them together. (c) Recommendations. After finishing the study in subsection (b), the Secretary, again working with other agencies, had to send Congress a second report by May 1, 1997. This report had to recommend whatever steps the Secretary thought were needed to carry out Congress's policy in subsection (a) — making sure fees don't discriminate by state or region.
