SUMMARY: The Tahoe National Forest proposes to establish a new 
recreation fee site. Proposed recreation fees collected at the proposed 
recreation fee site would be used for operation, maintenance, and 
improvement of the site. An analysis of nearby recreation fee sites 
with similar amenities shows that the proposed recreation fee is 
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: Tahoe National Forest, Attention: Recreation Fees, 631

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Sullivan, Recreation Program 
Manager, (530) 478-6298, <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#592d3831363c06373f063a3634343c372d2a192c2a3d38773e362f"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="7a0e1b12151f25141c25191517171f140e093a0f091e1b541d150c">[email&#160;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 the establishment of 
proposed recreation fee site. In accordance with Forest Service 
Handbook 2309.13, chapter 30, the Forest Service will publish the 
proposed recreation fee site and proposed recreation fees in local 
newspapers and other local publications for public comments. At least 
80 percent of the proposed recreation fees collected at the Tahoe 
National Forest would remain available for expenditure at the Forest to 
enhance the visitor experience at the proposed recreation fee site.
    A proposed expanded amenity recreation fee of $20 per night would 
be charged for Grouse Ridge Campground.
    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 
site and proposed recreation fees will be reviewed by a 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. A reservation fee of 
$8.00 per reservation will be added to the cost of the 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.
