Subject: The Impact of Executive Order 13658 on Public Land Guides and Outfitters
Date: June 10, 2015
Time: 10:00 am
Place: 2154 Rayburn HOB

PURPOSE:

To discuss issues facing rural outfitters in light of Executive Order 13658 and to examine solutions to this unique problem.

BACKGROUND:

In February 2014, the President issued Executive Order 13658, which established a new $10.10 per hour minimum wage for contractors with the Federal Government.
EO 13658 also applies to “contract-like instruments” defined in Department of Labor guidance to include permits involving guides and outfitters operating on federal lands.
This order may have a significant impact on businesses operating a river rafting, hiking, fishing or hunting service on public lands.
