Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, Proposed Addition of 
the Crescent Mining Camp and Dawson Cabins to the Recreation Fee Site 
Program

AGENCY: Leadville Ranger District, San Isabel National Forest, Rocky 
Mountain Region, Forest Service.
    Authority: The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, as part of 
the December 8, 2005, Consolidated Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 108-
447).
    Notice: Two additional expanded amenity recreation fee sites are 
proposed to the Forest Service Historic Cabin Rental Program.

SUMMARY: The Pike and San Isabel National Forests have an active cabin 
rental program that has been in operation since 2001 under the 
Recreation Fee Demonstration Authority. Four cabins have been available 
to the public for overnight rental since the inception of this program. 
The original intent of this program was to expand the number of rental 
opportunities using the revenue from the program. Two additional sites, 
the Dawson Cabin and Crescent Mining Camp, are now ready to be added to 
the program. These cabins would fall under Category 3.C, Expanded 
Amenity Recreation Sites and Services. Without the authority to charge 
a fee for these facilities the Forest Service would not be able to make 
them available to the public.

DATES: Transition is effective six months from publication of this 
Federal Register and concurrence by the appropriate Resource Advisory 
Committee.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Neal Weierbach, Recreation Program 
Manager, 719-553-1510 or [email protected]. Or, Jim Zornes, 
Leadville District Ranger, 719-486-0749.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Responsible Official (Forest Supervisor) 
for the Pike and San Isabel National Forests, Cimarron and Comanche 
National Grasslands has elected to expand the previously mentioned 
Historic Cabin Rental Program under the authority of the Federal Lands 
Recreation Enhancement Act. The cabins originally operated under the 
Recreation Fee Demonstration Program will continue under this new 
authority, and additional cabins will be added to the program as they 
are restored.
    The public is invited to comment on the addition of these cabins to 
the program. Additional information on the cabins can be located at

    Dated: March 6, 2006.
Robert J. Leaverton,
Forest Supervisor.
