The America’s Great Outdoors (AGO) Report called for the establishment of the Federal Interagency Council on Outdoor Recreation (FICOR). The purpose of the FICOR is to support and enhance outdoor recreation access and opportunities on Federal public lands, waters, and shores. The goal of the FICOR is to promote better coordination and collaboration among Federal agencies whose missions or programs include providing outdoor recreation amenities/opportunities and conserving or managing natural and cultural resources used or visited for outdoor recreation.

The FICOR are the agency directors of the Bureau of Land Management, the National Park Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (National Ocean Service). The FICOR working group is comprised of representatives identified by respective FICOR agency directors. The working group provides support for operation of the FICOR and ensures collaborative implementation of agency actions.
