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 permits, 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 sites and
in connection with the special recreation use covered by the proposed
special recreation permit.
A proposed special recreation permit and proposed special
recreation permit fee of $4 per person per day are proposed for Cedar
Creek Falls on the San Diego River Gorge Trail and Eagle Peak Road, and
for Three Sisters Falls on the Three Sisters Trail and Eagle Peak
Trail.
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, and proposed 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 Cedar Creek Falls and Three Sisters Falls special
recreation permits could be made online at
[[Page 57129]]
<a href="http://www.recreation.gov">www.recreation.gov</a> or by calling (877) 444-6777. Reservations would
cost $6.00 per reservation. The $6.00 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.
