AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).
ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee sites.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Umpqua 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. Many sites have recently been
reconstructed or amenities are being added to improve services and
experiences. 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: Umpqua National Forest, 2900 NW Stewart Parkway, Roseburg,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Lands Recreation 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 Hobo Forest Camp Campground is
proposed at $12 per night with a $5 extra vehicle fee. Skillet Creek
Group Campground is proposed for $35-$40 per night depending on group
size. In addition, this proposal would implement a new fee at one
recreation rental: Hemlock Butte Cabin is proposed at $15 a night per
person. A $5 day-use fee per vehicle at Cedar Creek Trailhead would be
added to improve services and facilities. The full suite of Interagency
passes would be honored. A $2 fee is proposed for the showers at Broken
Arrow and Diamond Lake campgrounds. A $10 fee is proposed to use the RV
dump station at Broken Arrow and Diamond Lake campgrounds.
New fees would provide increased visitor opportunities, as well as
increased staffing to address operations and maintenance needs that are
intended to 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 the cabin 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.
