ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee sites.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Stanislaus National Forest is proposing to charge new fees
at nine recreation sites and proposing one recreation permit listed in
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION of this notice. Funds from fees/permit 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/permit would be implemented no earlier
than six months following the publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
ADDRESSES: Stanislaus National Forest, 19777 Greenley Road, Sonora, CA

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Casey Jardine, Public Service Staff
Officer, 209-813-6011 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#12717361776b3c787360767b7c7752676176733c757d64"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="b3d0d2c0d6ca9dd9d2c1d7daddd6f3c6c0d7d29dd4dcc5">[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 Hermit Valley and Black Springs off-
highway vehicle campgrounds are proposed at $20 per night. The Herring
Creek and Herring Reservoir campgrounds are proposed at $25 per night.
A $20 fee per tree for a Christmas tree permit is proposed. A $5 day-
use fee per vehicle and a $30 annual pass is proposed at Sourgrass,
Rainbow Pool, Carlon Day, and Beardsley day use sites and Union East
Boat Ramp. 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.
Dated: December 27, 2021.
Sandra Watts,
Acting Associate Deputy Chief, National Forest System.
