Proposed Recreation Fee Sites
AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Siuslaw National Forest is proposing to establish a
special recreation permit. Proposed recreation fees collected at the
proposed special recreation permit sites would be used for operation,
maintenance, and improvement of the site and the special recreation use
covered by the proposed special recreation permit. An analysis of
nearby special recreation uses with similar amenities shows that the
proposed recreation fees are reasonable and typical of similar special
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: Siuslaw National Forest, Attention: Recreation Fees, 3200 SW

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Trevor Robinson, Recreation Program
Manager, (541) 750-7047, <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#e99d9b8c9f869bc79b868b80879a8687a99c9a8d88c78e869f"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e99d9b8c9f869bc79b868b80879a8687a99c9a8d88c78e869f">[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 special recreation permits. In accordance with Forest Service
Handbook 2309.13, Chapter 30, the Forest Service will publish the
proposed special recreation permit in local newspapers and other local
publications for public comment. At least 80 percent of the proposed
recreation fees would be spent where they are collected to enhance the
visitor experience at the proposed recreation fee site and in
connection with the special recreation use covered by the proposed
special recreation permit.
A proposed special recreation permit and special recreation permit
fee of $8 per vehicle per day would be charged for Fisherman's Day Use
Site in the Sand Lake Recreation Area during summer holiday weekends,
which include Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day weekends.
The Northwest Forest Pass would be honored at the Sand Lake
Recreation Area fee sites. The America the Beautiful-the National Parks
and Federal Recreational Lands Pass would not cover the proposed
special recreation permit fee. Fee revenue would be used to enhance
recreation opportunities, improve customer service, protect public
safety, and address maintenance needs.
Once public involvement is complete, the proposed special
recreation permit fee will be presented to the appropriate Recreation
Resource Advisory Committee for review and recommendation prior to a
final decision and implementation. Reservations for Sand Lake
Recreation
[[Page 57130]]
Area permits could be made online at <a href="http://www.recreation.gov">www.recreation.gov</a> or by calling
(877) 444-6777. Reservations would cost $2.00 per reservation. The
$2.00 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, Recreation and Heritage.
