Abstract
The Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest (Forest) is proposing to charge new fees at one group campground, two campgrounds, and one new horse campground. These sites are currently in use by the public but are not currently charging fees for use. Funds from fees would be used for the continued operation and maintenance of these recreation sites. Fees are assessed based on the level of amenities and services provided, cost of operation and maintenance, market assessment, and public comment. Significant capital improvements made in the past few years, coupled with increased visitation, support a fee. A review of visitor use data and fee collection information for existing fee campgrounds and group campgrounds on the Forest demonstrate public need and demand for the variety of recreation opportunities these facilities provide.

Notice of Proposed New Fee Sites
AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).
ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee sites.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest (Forest) is proposing to
charge new fees at one group campground, two campgrounds, and one new
horse campground. These sites are currently in use by the public but
are not currently charging fees for use. Funds from fees would be used
for the continued operation and maintenance of these recreation sites.
Fees are assessed based on the level of amenities and services
provided, cost of operation and maintenance, market assessment, and
public comment. Significant capital improvements made in the past few
years, coupled with increased visitation, support a fee. A review of
visitor use data and fee collection information for existing fee
campgrounds and group campgrounds on the Forest demonstrate public need
and demand for the variety of recreation opportunities these facilities
provide.
DATES: If approved, the new fee would be implemented no earlier than
six months following the publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act
(Title VII, Pub. L. 108-447) directed the Secretary of Agriculture to
publish a six-month advance notice in the Federal Register whenever new
recreation fee areas are established. A market analysis indicated that
the proposed fees are both reasonable and acceptable for the type of
recreation experience they provide.
The fees are only proposed at this time and will be determined upon
further analysis and public comment. The following campground and group
campground are included in this proposal for new fees: Horse Campground
for $10 per night and Kalamazoo and White River Campgrounds for $5 per
night. Bird Creek Campground is proposing a new double campsite fee for
$15 per night and group sites at $20 and $45 per night.
Once public involvement is complete, these new fees will be
reviewed and approved by a Recreation Resource Advisory Committee prior
to a final decision and implementation.
Dated: September 29, 2021.

Acting Associate Deputy Chief, National Forest System.
