Proposed New Recreation Fee Sites
AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Salmon-Challis 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: Salmon-Challis National Forest. 1206 S Challis St., Salmon,
ID 83467.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James Townley, Recreation Management
Specialist, at 208-756-5100 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#c8a2a9a5adbbe6bca7bfa6a4adb188bdbbaca9e6afa7be"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="dcb6bdb1b9aff2a8b3abb2b0b9a59ca9afb8bdf2bbb3aa">[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 $10 per night would be
charged for Big Creek, Broad Canyon, Little Bayhorse, Morse Creek, Pass
Creek Narrows, Big Bayhorse, Cougar Point, and Tin Cup Campgrounds. An
expanded amenity recreation fee of $30 per night would be charged for
double campsites at Meadow Lake Campground. An expanded amenity
recreation fee of $15 per night would be
[[Page 86878]]
charged for Mosquito Flat Reservoir and Yellowjacket Lake Campgrounds.
In addition, an expanded amenity recreation fee of $65 per night would
be charged for rental of Basin Butte Lookout, and an expanded amenity
recreation fee of $50 per night would be charged for rental of Bonanza
Guard Station.
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, these new recreation fees will be reviewed by
a Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and
implementation. Reservations for Basin Butte Lookout and Bonanza Guard
Station 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.
