AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).
ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee sites.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coronado National Forest is proposing to charge new fees
at multiple 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: Coronado National Forest, 711 S 14th Avenue, Safford, AZ
85546.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George Garcia, Safford District
Ranger, 928-348-1974 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#d9bebcb6abbebcf7beb8abbab0b8eb99acaabdb8f7beb6af"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="c4a3a1abb6a3a1eaa3a5b6a7ada5f684b1b7a0a5eaa3abb2">[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.
This proposal includes two recreation rentals: Canelo Ranger
Station Cabin proposed at $125 a night and Canelo Ranger Residence
proposed at $175 per night. In addition, this proposal would implement
new fees at $8 day-use fee per vehicle or $10 per week per vehicle at
Arcadia and Hospital Flat. The Coronado National Forest Annual Pass as
well as the full suite of Interagency passes would be honored at the
day use sites.
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 the 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.
Dated: August 1, 2022.

Acting Associate Deputy Chief, National Forest System.
