reasonable and typical of similar sites in the area.

Register.

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.

The Big Tesuque campground is proposed at $10 per night. The
Johnson Mesa, Links Tract, and Oak Flats campgrounds are proposed at
$10 for a single and $20 for a double site. Windy Bridge campground is
proposed at $15 per night. The Rio Chama campground is proposed at $20
per night. In addition, a $5 extra vehicle fee is proposed for Links
Tract, Big Tesuque, Oak Flats, Windy Bridge, Rio Chama, Ev Long, El
Porvenir, Holy Ghost, Cowles, Iron Gate, Panchuela, and Johnson Mesa
campgrounds.
As part of this proposal, a $5 day-use fee per vehicle at San
Gregorio, Big Tesuque, Black Canyon, Little Tesuque, Aspen Vista,
Winsor, Winsor Creek, Winsor Ridge, Upper Dalton Fishing Access, Cowles
Ponds, East Fork, Dark Canyon, La Junta, Las Casitas, La Cueva, Jemez
Falls, Big Eddy Take Out, Chavez Canyon, and Clear Creek would be added
to improve services and facilities. A new state-wide New Mexico annual
pass is being proposed for $40 for day use sites. 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.
