SUMMARY: The Chippewa 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.

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 $40 per night would be
charged for rental of Joyce and Mary Louise Cabins.
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 Recreation Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final

decision and implementation. Reservations for the 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.
