SUMMARY: The Prescott 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: Prescott National Forest, 344 S Cortez St., Prescott, AZ

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Julie Rowe, Recreation Program
Manager, 928-856-2687 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#d9b3acb5b0bcf7abb6aebc99acaabdb8f7beb6af"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="462c332a2f236834293123063335222768212930">[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 new fees at two recreation rentals: Mingus
Mountain and Palace Station Cabin for $100 per night. In addition, this
proposal would implement a $75 per night for a group size of 50 people
at Mingus Mountain Group Campground.
[[Page 47958]]
A $5 Day-use fee per vehicle is being proposed at Mingus Campground
Vista B and Summit Day use sites. The Prescott National Forest Pass and
the full suite of interagency passes will be honored at these new
Forest Service 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 group campground 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.
Dated: August 1, 2022.

Acting Associate Deputy Chief, National Forest System.
