DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Forest Service
Proposed New Recreation Fee Sites
AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Forests in Alabama are 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: National Forests in Alabama, 2946 Chestnut Street,
Montgomery, Alabama 36107.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daks Kennedy, Recreation Staff
Officer, at (344) 241-4470 or by email at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#4c2e3e252d2262272922222928350c393f282d622b233a"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="ccaebea5ada2e2a7a9a2a2a9a8b58cb9bfa8ade2aba3ba">[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.
A standard amenity recreation fee of $5 per day per vehicle would
be charged at Natural Bridge Picnic Area developed recreation site. The
America the Beautiful-the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands
Pass would be honored at these standard amenity recreation fee sites. A
special recreation permit recreation fee of $5 per person per day is
proposed at the Conecuh Westside Shooting Range.
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.
