SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 2709.11, 
Chapter 30 was revised in April 2006, to reflect changes in determining 
cabin user fees for recreation residences. The April revision reflects 
the provisions of the Cabin User Fee Fairness Act of 2000, and was 
adopted after notice and comment in the Federal Register on April 3, 
2006 (71 FR 16614).
    The Interim Directive revises two paragraphs to provide specific 
beginning and ending dates to verbiage referencing the 2-year 
transition period, which began on May 3, 2006 and continues until May 
2, 2008. The Interim Directive adds direction for calculating 
recreation residence fees during the 2-year transition period and adds 
three exhibits to display sample recreation residence fee calculations.
