AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).
ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee sites.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Lincoln National Forest is proposing to charge new fees at
four recreation sites listed in Supplementary Information of this
notice. Funds from fees would be used for operation, maintenance, and
improvements of these recreation sites. An analysis of nearby developed
recreation sites with similar amenities shows the proposed fees are
reasonable and typical of similar sites in the area.
DATES: If approved, the new fee would be implemented no earlier than
six months following the publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
ADDRESSES: Lincoln National Forest, 3463 Las Palomas, Alamogordo, New
Mexico 88310.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: LaTasha Wauneka, Recreation Staff
Assistant, 575-682-5320 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#620e031603110a034c1503170c07090322171106034c050d14"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="701c1104110318115e0711051e151b1130050314115e171f06">[email protected]</span></a>.
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. The fees are only proposed at
this time and will be determined upon further analysis and public
comment. Reasonable fees, paid by users of these sites, will help
ensure that the Forest can continue maintaining and improving
recreation sites like this for future generations.
As part of this proposal, Sitting Bull Falls group picnic area is
proposed at $50 per day. A $5 day-use fee per vehicle at Schoolhouse
Picnic, Cedar Creek Picnic, and Trestle Recreation Area would be added
to improve services and facilities. A new state-wide New Mexico annual
pass for day use sites is being proposed for $40. The full suite of
Interagency passes would be honored.
New fees would provide increased visitor opportunities as well as
increased staffing to address operations and maintenance needs and
enhance customer service. Once public involvement is complete, these
new fees will be reviewed by a Recreation Resource Advisory Committee
prior to a final decision and implementation.
Advanced reservations for the group picnic area will be available
through <a href="http://www.recreation.gov">www.recreation.gov</a> or by calling 1-877-444-6777. The
reservation service charges an $8.00 fee for reservations.
Dated: December 21, 2021.

Acting Associate Deputy Chief, National Forest System.
