of historic rental facilities. Funds from the rental will be used for 
the continued operation and maintenance of the Harris Springs Guard 
Station.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act 
(Title VII, Pub. L. 108-447) directs the Secretary of Agriculture to 
publish a six month advance notice in the Federal Register whenever new 
recreation fee areas are established. The intent of this notice is to 
inform publics of a new fee site.
    The Shasta-Trinity National Forest currently has three other cabin/
lookout rentals. These rentals are popular and often fully booked 
throughout their rental season. A business analysis of the Harris 
Springs Guard Station has shown that people desire having this sort of 
recreation experience on the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. A market 
analysis indicates that the $35/per night fee is both reasonable and 
acceptable for this sort of unique recreation experience.
    People wanting to rent the Harris Springs Guard Station will need 
to do so through the National Recreation Reservation Service, at http://www.reserveusa.com or by calling 1-877-444-6777. The National 
Recreation Reservation Service charges a $9 fee for reservations.
