Abstract
The Black Hills National Forest is proposing to establish three recreation fee sites and a special recreation permit. Proposed recreation fees collected at the proposed recreation fee sites and for the proposed special recreation permit would be used for operation, maintenance, and improvement of the sites and the specialized recreation use covered by the proposed special recreation permit. 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 and for the proposed special recreation permit are reasonable and typical of similar recreation fee sites and specialized recreation uses in the area.

Proposed Recreation Fee Sites
AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Black Hills National Forest is proposing to establish
three recreation fee sites and a special recreation permit. Proposed
recreation fees collected at the proposed recreation fee sites and for
the proposed special recreation permit would be used for operation,
maintenance, and improvement of the sites and the specialized
recreation use covered by the proposed special recreation permit. 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 and for the proposed special recreation permit are
reasonable and typical of similar recreation fee sites and specialized
recreation uses 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: Black Hills National Forest, Attention: Recreation Fees,
1019 North 5th Street, Custer, SD 57730.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bradley Block, Recreation Program
Manager, 605-673-9200 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#492b3b282d252c30672b25262a22093c3a2d28672e263f"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="385a4a595c545d41165a54575b53784d4b5c59165f574e">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act
(16 U.S.C. 6803(b)) requires the Forest Service to publish in the
Federal Register a six-month advance notice of establishment of
proposed recreation fee sites and proposed special recreation permits.
In accordance with Forest Service Handbook 2309.13, chapter 30, the
Forest Service will publish the proposed recreation fee sites, proposed
special recreation permit, 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 and
in connection with the specialized recreation use covered by the
proposed special recreation permit.
A proposed expanded amenity recreation fee of $50 per night would
be charged for rental of Meeker Cabin. A proposed standard amenity
recreation fee of $5 per day per vehicle would be charged at Jenny
Gulch Picnic Site and Wrinkled Rock-Climbing Area. The America the
Beautiful--the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass would
be honored at these standard amenity recreation fee sites. A proposed
special recreation permit and proposed special recreation permit fee of
$10 per day per vehicle are proposed for the Black Hills Motorized
Trail Systems.
Expenditures of recreation fees collected at the proposed
recreation fee sites and for the proposed special recreation permit
would enhance recreation opportunities, improve customer service, and
address maintenance needs. Once public involvement is complete, the
proposed recreation fee sites, proposed special recreation permit, and
proposed recreation fees will be reviewed by a Recreation Resource
Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and implementation.
Reservations for Meeker Cabin 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.
