ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Francis Marion and Sumter National Forests are proposing
to establish several recreation fee sites. Recreation fee revenues
collected at the proposed 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
recreation fees that would be charged at the proposed recreation fee
sites are reasonable and typical of similar recreation fee sites in the
area.
DATES: If approved, the proposed recreation fees and proposed
recreation fee sites would be established no earlier than six months
following the publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Francis Marion and Sumter National Forests, 4931 Broad River

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 recreation
fee sites. In accordance with Forest Service Handbook 2309.13, Chapter
30, the Forest Service will publish the proposed recreation fee sites
and proposed recreation fees in local newspapers and other local
publications for public comment. Most of the proposed recreation fees
would be spent where they are collected to enhance the visitor
experience at the proposed recreation fee sites.
A proposed expanded amenity recreation fee of $35 per day for
groups up to 40 people would be charged for Chattooga and Yellow Branch
group picnic sites.
Expenditures of proposed recreation fees collected at the proposed
recreation fee sites would enhance recreation opportunities, improve
customer service, and address maintenance needs. Once public
involvement is complete, these proposed recreation fee sites and
proposed 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.
Dated: May 31, 2024.

Associate Deputy Chief, National Forest System.
