reasonable and typical of similar sites in the area.
DATES: If approved, the new fees would be implemented no earlier than

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 Schonchin Springs campground proposes
a $10 per night fee. A $15 per night fee and a $5 extra vehicle fee are
proposed at Stough Reservoir, Pepperdine, Pepperdine Equestrian, Cave
Lake, East Creek, and Patterson campgrounds. In addition, this proposal
would implement a new fee at one recreation rental: Patterson Guard
Station at $75 per night. A $5 day-use fee per vehicle for Medicine
Lake day use area is also proposed. 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 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.
Dated: December 27, 2021.
