Notice of New Fee Site; Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, 
(Title VIII, Pub. L. 108-447)

AGENCY: Caribou-Targhee National Forest, USDA Forest Service.

ACTION: Notice of New Fee Site.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Soda Springs Ranger District of the Caribou-Targhee 
National Forest will begin charging a $10 fee for single family 
overnight camping at the Gravel Creek Campground. There will also be a 
$5 fee for an extra vehicle. Overnight camping at other campgrounds on 
the Caribou-Targhee National Forest have shown that publics appreciate 
and enjoy the availability of developed recreation facilities. Funds 
from the fee charges will be used for the continued operation and 
maintenance of the Gravel Creek Campground.

DATES: Gravel Creek Campground will become available for overnight 
camping on June 1, 2007 (weather permitting).

ADDRESSES: Forest Supervisor, Caribou-Targhee National Forest, 1405 
Hollipark Dr., Idaho Falls, Idaho 83401

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Doug Heyrend, Supervisory Forester, 
208-547-4356

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act 
(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 Soda Spring Ranger District of the Caribou-Targhee National 
Forest currently has no fee campgrounds. These facilities are in close 
proximity to Grays Lake National Wildlife Refuge, a large marsh and 
riparian area. This area offers significant recreational wildlife 
viewing opportunities and is rich in historical and cultural 
importance. A market analysis indicates that the $10/per night single 
family camping fee is both reasonable and acceptable for this sort of 
unique recreation experience.

    Dated: November 17, 2006.
Sheryl Bainbridge,
Acting Caribou-Targhee National Forest Supervisor.
