Register.
ADDRESSES: Shasta-Trinity National Forest, 204 West Alma Street, Mount

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 Ripstein, Horse Flat, Scott Mountain,
Goldfield, Denny, Hobo Gulch, Trout Creek Meadow, Algoma, Deerlick
Springs, Big Slide, Scott Flat, Slide Creek, and Jackass Springs
campgrounds are proposing $15 per night. The Panther Meadows and Castle
Lake campgrounds are proposing $20 per night. In addition, this
proposal would implement new fees at three recreation rentals: Knob
Peak Lookout at $90 per night along with the Forest Glen House and
Harrison Gulch Ranger Station, both at $150 per night.
A $5 day-use fee per vehicle or $40 annual pass is proposed at
Bunny Flat Trailhead, Everitt Memorial Vista, Red Fir Flat, Castle Lake
Picnic, Upper Falls Picnic Area, Middle Falls Picnic Area, Lower Falls
Picnic Area, Lakin Dam Picnic Area, Camp 4 Day Use Area, Cattle Camp
Picnic Area, Pollard Gulch, Snowman's Hill Snowpark Day Use, Parks
Creek Trailhead, Cabin Creek Trailhead, Big Flat River Access, Pigeon
Point Boating Site, Canyon Creek Trailhead, Stuart Fork Trailhead,
Swift Creek Trailhead, and Long Canyon Trailhead. 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.
