Abstract
The National Forests in Mississippi are proposing to establish a recreation fee site and two special recreation permits. Proposed recreation fees collected at the proposed recreation fee site and for the proposed special recreation permits would be used for operation, maintenance, and improvement of the site and the specialized recreation use covered by the proposed special recreation permit. An analysis of nearby recreation fee sites and specialized recreation uses with similar amenities shows the proposed recreation fees that would be charged at the proposed recreation fee site 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 National Forests in Mississippi are proposing to establish
a recreation fee site and two special recreation permits. Proposed
recreation fees collected at the proposed recreation fee site and for
the proposed special recreation permits would be used for operation,
maintenance, and improvement of the site and the specialized recreation
use covered by the proposed special recreation permit. An analysis of
nearby recreation fee sites and specialized recreation uses with
similar amenities shows the proposed recreation fees that would be
charged at the proposed recreation fee site 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: National Forests in Mississippi, Attention: Recreation Fees,
968 Highway 15 South, Laurel, MS 39443.

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
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 would
be charged for Big Foot Horse Camp. A proposed special recreation
permit recreation fee of $10 per person per day is proposed at the
South Bethel Motorized Trail. In addition, a proposed special
recreation permit recreation fee of $5 per person per day is proposed
at the Black Creek Shooing Range.
Expenditures of recreation fees collected at the proposed
recreation fee site and for the proposed special recreation permits
would enhance recreation opportunities, improve customer service, and
address maintenance needs. Once public involvement is complete, the
proposed recreation fee site, proposed special recreation permits, and
proposed recreation fees will be reviewed by a Recreation Resource
Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and implementation.
