SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act
(16 U.S.C. 6803(b)) requires the Forest Service to publish a six-month
advance notice in the Federal Register of establishment of new
recreation fee sites. In accordance with Forest Service Handbook
2309.13, chapter 30, the Forest Service will publish the proposed new
recreation fee site in local newspapers and other local publications
for public comment. Most of the new recreation fee revenues would be
spent where they are collected to enhance the visitor experience at the
new recreation fee site. An expanded amenity recreation fee of $150 per
night would be charged for rental of Wolf Island Cabin.
Expenditures from recreation fee revenues collected at the new
recreation fee site would enhance recreation opportunities, improve
customer service, and address maintenance needs. Once public
involvement is complete, the new recreation fee will be reviewed by a
Recreation Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and
implementation. Reservations for Wolf Island Cabin could be made online
at <a href="http://www.recreation.gov">www.recreation.gov</a> or by calling 877-444-6777. Reservations would
cost $8.00 per reservation.
