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 site 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 sites.
A proposed expanded amenity recreation fee of $65 per night would
be charged for rental of Patrick Creek Bathhouse Cabin for groups up to
4 people.
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, proposed special recreation permit, and proposal recreation fees
will be presented to the appropriate Recreation Resource Advisory
Committee for review and recommendation prior to a final decision and
implementation. Reservations for campgrounds and cabins 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. 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.
Gordon Blum,
Associate Deputy Chief, Recreation and Heritage.
