(Title VII, Pub. L. 108-447) directed the Secretary of Agriculture to 
publish a six month advance notice in the Federal Register whenever new 
recreation fee areas are established. The Prescott National Forest 
currently has three other rental facilities. These rentals are booked 
regularly throughout their rental season. A business analysis for the 
rental of Groom Creek Schoolhouse shows that people desire having this 
sort of recreation experience on the Prescott National Forest. A market 
analysis indicates that the $150 daily fee is both reasonable and 
acceptable for this sort of unique recreation experience. People 
wanting to rent Groom Creek Schoolhouse 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
