AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).
ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee sites.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Carson National Forest is proposing to charge new fees at
14 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 fees would be implemented no earlier than
six months following the publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
ADDRESSES: Carson National Forest, 208 Cruz Alta Road, Taos, NM 87571.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eric Garner, Recreation Program
Manager, 575-758-6310 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#096c7b606a276e687b676c7b497c7a6d68276e667f"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="60051209034e0701120e051220151304014e070f16">[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 Cebolla Mesa and Lower Canjilon
Campgrounds are proposed at $10 per night with a $5 extra vehicle fee.
In addition, a $5 extra vehicle fee at Echo Amphitheater and Middle
Canjilon Lakes is proposed. The El Rito group picnic site is proposed
at $75 per visit. A $5 day-use fee per vehicle at Shuree Ponds, Cebolla
Mesa, El Nogal, and Upper Canjilon Lakes would be added to improve
services and facilities. A new state-wide New Mexico annual pass is
being proposed at $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 campgrounds and cabins 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.
