Proposed New Recreation Fee Sites
AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Lassen National Forest is proposing to establish several
new recreation fee sites. Recreation fee revenues collected at the new
recreation fee sites would be used for operation, maintenance, and
improvement of the sites. An analysis of nearby recreation fee sites
with similar amenities shows the recreation fees that would be charged
at the new recreation fee sites are reasonable and typical of similar
recreation fee sites in the area.
DATES: If approved, the new recreation fees would be implemented no
earlier than six months following the publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Lassen National Forest, 2550 Riverside Drive, Susanville, CA
96130.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Janie Ackley, Recreation Fee
Coordinator, 530-258-5165 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#553834272c7b34363e39302c15202631347b323a23"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="573a36252e7936343c3b322e172224333679303821">[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 sites 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 sites.
An expanded amenity recreation fee of $12 per night would be
charged for the Black Rock, Butte, Echo Lake, Goumaz, and Roxie Peconom
Campgrounds. An expanded amenity recreation fee of $18 per night would
be charged for the Bogard Campground.
Expenditures from recreation fee revenues collected at the new
recreation fee sites would enhance recreation opportunities, improve
customer service, and address maintenance needs. Once public
involvement is complete, the new recreation fees will be reviewed by a
Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and
implementation. Reservations for Black Rock, Butte, Echo Lake, Goumaz,
and Roxie Peconom, and Bogard Campgrounds 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.
Dated: November 28, 2023.

Associate Deputy Chief, National Forest System.
