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 $10 per night and $5
per extra vehicle fee would be charged for Rye Spur Horse Camp and
Sevenmile Equestrian Camp and Trailhead. A proposed expanded amenity
recreation fee of $10 per night and $2 per extra vehicle fee would be
charged for Jones Crossing, Happy Camp, and Willow Creek Campgrounds.
An expanded amenity recreation fee of $5 per extra vehicle would be
charged at Walt Haring Campground. A proposed expanded amenity
recreation fee of $20 per night and $5 per extra vehicle would be
charged for Annie Creek Campground and Sno-Park. In addition, a
proposed expanded amenity recreation fee of $100 per night would be
charged for rental of Pelican and Sevenmile Guard Stations.
A proposed standard amenity recreation fee of $5 per day per
vehicle would be charged at Cold Springs, Malone Springs, Odessa, Rocky
Point, Sevenmile Marsh, Summit Sno-Park/Pacific Crest Trail, and Wood
River developed recreation sites. The Annual Northwest Forest Pass,
National Forest Recreation Day Pass, National Forest Recreation ePass,
and the America the Beautiful--the National Parks and Federal
Recreational Lands Pass would be honored at these standard amenity
recreation fee sites.
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. Reservations
for campgrounds 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.
