SUMMARY: The Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest is proposing to establish
several new recreation fee sites. Proposed new recreation fees
collected at the proposed 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 proposed
new recreation fees that would be charged at the proposed new
recreation fee sites are reasonable and typical of similar recreation
fee sites in the area.
DATES: If approved, the proposed new recreation fee sites and proposed
new recreation fees would be established no earlier than six months
following the date of publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
ADDRESSES: Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, 1200 Franklin Way, Sparks,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Randy Kyes, Recreation Program
Manager, (775) 331-6444 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#6a180b040e134401130f192a1f190e0b440d051c"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="0b796a656f722560726e784b7e786f6a256c647d">[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 proposed 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 and proposed new recreation fees in local
newspapers and other local publications for public comment. Most of the
proposed new recreation fees collected at the proposed new recreation
fee sites would be spent where they are collected to enhance the
visitor experience at the sites.
A proposed expanded amenity recreation fee of $10 per night would
be charged for Barley Creek Trailhead, Big Creek, Columbine, Jack
Creek, Kingston, Peavine Creek, Pine Creek, Pine Creek (Tonopah Ranger
District), San Juan Community Use Area, Sawmill, Slide Creek, and
Toquima Cave Campgrounds. A proposed expanded amenity recreation fee of
$250 per hour for groups of up to 250 people would be charged for
Spring Mountains Visitor Gateway Amphitheater, and a proposed expanded
amenity recreation fee of $50 per hour for groups of up to 36 people
would be charged for the Spring Mountains Visitor Gateway Education
Center.
Expenditures of the proposed new recreation fees collected at the
proposed new recreation fee sites would enhance recreation
opportunities, improve customer service, and address maintenance needs.
Once the public involvement process is complete, the proposed new
recreation fee sites and proposed new recreation fees will be reviewed
by a Recreation Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision
and implementation. Reservations for campgrounds and cabins 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.
