PART 656--INSTALLATIONS, USE OF OFF-ROAD VEHICLES ON ARMY LAND--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 656.6  Responsibilities.

    Commanders of Army installations and activities in the United States 
will:
    (a) Develop policy and procedures prescribing operating conditions 
for ORV's which are designed to protect resource values, preserve public 
health, safety and welfare, and minimize use conflicts. These procedures 
will include as a minimum:
    (1) Registration--ORV's used both on and off the traffic way will be 
registered in accordance with AR 190-5 and AR 190-5-1. ORV's operated 
solely off the traffic way may be registered at the discretion of the 
installation commander.
    (2) Fees--Installation commanders are authorized to impose 
appropriate fees and charges for ORV activities in accordance with AR 
28-1, as an element of the Outdoor Recreation Program. Such fees and 
charges are accounted for as income to nonappropriated funds in 
accordance with AR 230-65.
    (b) Ensure that lands where off-road vehicle use will be permitted 
are designated in the natural resources management plan and where 
appropriate include as a part of the installation's master plan (AR 210-
20 and AR 420-74).
    (c) Provide opportunities for users to participate in the selection 
and designation of suitable sites and distribute information which 
identifies authorized sites and describes the conditions of use. 
Organized recreational activities involving off-road vehicles are within 
the scope of the Outdoor Recreation Program of Army Recreation Services 
and should be so established.
    (d) Post appropriate signs at authorized areas and trails.
    (e) Provide for the administration, enforcement, and policing of 
trails and areas to ensure that conditions of use are met on a 
continuing basis.
    (f) Establish appropriate procedures to monitor the effects of the 
use of ORV's and provide for maintenance of the ORV areas of trails. 
This monitoring will be the basis for changes to installation policy to 
ensure adequate control of ORV use, amendment of area and trail 
designations, or conditions of use which are necessary to protect the 
environment, insure the public safety, and minimize conflict among 
users.
    (g) Negotiate cooperative agreements, when appropriate, with State 
or local governments for the enforcement of laws and regulations 
relating to ORV use.
    (h) Coordinate ORV use, projects, activities, designated ORV areas, 
and all related matters, with the installation environmental committee 
and environmental office.
