Proposed New Recreation Fee Site
AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The San Bernardino National Forest is proposing to establish a
new recreation fee site. Recreation fee revenues collected at the new
recreation fee site would be used for operation, maintenance, and
improvement of the site. An analysis of nearby recreation fee sites
with similar amenities shows the recreation fee that would be charged
at the new recreation fee site is reasonable and typical of similar
recreation fee sites in the area.
DATES: If approved, the new recreation fee would be implemented no
earlier than six months following the publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: San Bernardino National Forest, 602 South Tippecanoe Avenue,
San Bernardino, California 92408.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jonar Rodrigo, Recreation Fee Program
Manager--Southern Zone, 909-382-2622 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#afc5c0c1cedd81ddc0cbddc6c8c0efdadccbce81c8c0d9"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="adc7c2c3ccdf83dfc2c9dfc4cac2edd8dec9cc83cac2db">[email protected]</span></a>.
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.
A standard amenity recreation fee of $5 per day per vehicle would
be charged at Big Pine Flat Off-Highway Vehicle Staging Area. The
Adventure Pass and the America the Beautiful--the National Parks and
Federal Recreational Lands Pass would be honored at this standard
amenity recreation fee site.
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 fee will be reviewed by a Recreation
Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and
implementation.
Dated: November 17, 2023.
