AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Inyo National Forest is proposing to establish several
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 that the proposed recreation fees
that would be charged at the proposed recreation fee sites are
reasonable and typical of similar recreation fee sites in the area.
DATES: If approved, the proposed recreation fee sites and proposed
recreation fees would be established no earlier than six months
following the publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Inyo National Forest, Attention: Recreation Fees, 351 Pacu

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew Kennedy, Forest Recreation
Officer, (760) 920-3522, <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#54353a302631237a3f313a3a31302d14212730357a333b22"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="bcddd2d8ced9cb92d7d9d2d2d9d8c5fcc9cfd8dd92dbd3ca">[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 before 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. At least
80% 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 and $5
extra vehicle fee would be charged for Hartley Springs, Grandview,
Upper Deadman, and Lower Deadman Campgrounds. A proposed expanded
amenity recreation fee of $25 per night and $5 extra vehicle fee would
be charged for Glass Creek and Big Springs Campgrounds.
Fee revenue would be used to enhance recreation opportunities,
improve customer service, and address maintenance needs.
Once public involvement is complete, the proposed recreation fee
sites and proposed recreation fees will be reviewed by a Recreation
Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and
implementation. Reservations for campgrounds and cabins can 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. The $8.00 reservation fee is a
transaction fee charged by the <a href="http://recreation.gov">recreation.gov</a> reservation platform and
is not a Forest Service recreation fee under the Federal Lands
Recreation Enhancement Act. This transaction fee is retained by the
service provider to support the cost of the reservation system.

Associate Deputy Chief State, Private and Tribal Forestry, National
Forest System.
