## Abstract

In this final rule, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) revises its procedures used to set adoption fees for Wild Horses and Burros. The purpose of the amendment is to allow BLM more flexibility in establishing adoption fees, to recover a higher proportion of the associated cost, and encourage adoptions consistent with the basic goals of the Wild Horse and Burro adoption program. The rule also allows BLM to use competitive methods.
