AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).
ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee sites.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Allegheny National Forest is proposing to charge three new
fees at the recreation site listed in Supplementary Information of this
notice. Funds from fees would be used for operation, maintenance, and
improvements of this recreation site. 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 fees would be implemented no earlier than
six months following the publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
ADDRESSES: Allegheny National Forest, 29 Forest Service Drive,

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 Twin Lakes Recreation Area campground
is proposed at $12 per night with a $6 fee for hookups. The group
campground fee is proposed at $50 per night, and a group pavilion site
fee of $35 per half day and $50 per full day are proposed.
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 and group sites 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.
