The NPS proposes to issue a Special Use Permit for the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida to build a new home and septic system at the Owen Billie Camp. The project area is located along U.S. 41 (Tamiami Trail), in Collier County, Florida, 5.5 miles east of State Road 29 on the south side of the road. This action is needed in order to provide adequate housing to support a healthy and safe living environment for a tribal member at this camp. The member currently resides in a "chickee," or traditional Miccosukee housing, and desires to advance to more adequate housing. The proposed home and septic system would be on U.S. government property.
