Notice of Proposed New Fee Sites
AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).
ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee sites.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Mark Twain National Forest is proposing to charge new fees
at 11 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: Mark Twain National Forest, 401 Fairgrounds Road, Rolla, MO
65401.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas Saylors, Recreation Program
Manager, 573-341-7472 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#73071b1c1e12005d00120a1f1c010033060017125d141c05"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="d3a7bbbcbeb2a0fda0b2aabfbca1a093a6a0b7b2fdb4bca5">[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, the Paddy Creek, Pine Ridge, Dry Fork,
Berryman, and Pinewood Lake campgrounds are proposing $15 per night.
Pinewood Lake campground is proposing $25 per night at double sites.
Bar-K Horse Camp is proposing $10 per night. The Berryman Group Picnic
is proposing $50 per day. In addition, this proposal would implement a
new fee at one recreation rental: Sinking Creek Cabin is proposing $75
per night. A $5 day-use fee per vehicle is proposed at Berryman, Big
Bay, and Noblett Lake Day Use Areas. The full suite of Interagency
passes and the forest annual passes will 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 campgrounds, group sites, and the cabin
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.
