-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Sequoia National Forest is proposing to charge new fees at
several recreation sites listed in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION of this

reasonable and typical of similar sites in the area.

six months following the publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.

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, Troy Meadow Group Campground is proposed
at $90 per night. In addition, this proposal would implement a new fee
at Bonita Cabin, for $90 per night.
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 877-444-6777. The reservation service charges an $8.00 fee
for reservations.
