ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bridger-Teton National Forest is proposing to establish
two recreation fee sites. Proposed recreation fees 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 new recreation fee sites are reasonable and
typical of similar recreation fee sites in the area.
DATES: If approved, the proposed recreation fees would be established
no earlier than six months following the publication of this notice in
the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Bridger-Teton National Forest, Attention: Recreation Fees,

Program Manager, (406) 544-4734, <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#d1a2b9b0bfbfbebfffb2bebfbfbebdbda891a4a2b5b0ffb6bea7"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="b6c5ded7d8d8d9d898d5d9d8d8d9dadacff6c3c5d2d798d1d9c0">[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
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 $20 per night would
be charged for Swift Creek campground. A proposed expanded amenity
recreation fee of $100 per night for groups of up to 40 people would be
charged for Lynx Creek group campground. Expenditures of 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, the proposed
recreation fee sites and proposal recreation fees will be reviewed by a
Recreation Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and
implementation. Campgrounds could be reserved 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.
