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

AGENCY: Bridger-Teton National Forest, Forest Service USDA.

ACTION: Notice of new fee site.

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

SUMMARY: The Bridger-Teton National Forest is planning to charge a $40 
fee for the overnight rental of each of the Sherman Guard Station 
Cabins. The cabins have not been available for recreation use prior to 
this date. Rentals of other cabins on the Bridger-Teton National Forest 
have shown that people appreciate and enjoy the availability of 
historic rental cabins. Funds from the rental will be used for the 
continued operation and maintenance of the Sherman Guard Station 
Cabins.

DATES: The Sherman Guard Station Cabins will become available for 
recreation rental in July, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Forest Supervisor, Bridger-Teton National Forest, P.O. Box 
1888, 340 Cache, Jackson, WY 83001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary Hayward, Resource Specialist, 
307-276-5813 or Timothy Ditton, Office Automation Clerk, 307-276-5800.

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. This new fee will be reviewed by 
a Recreation Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and 
implementation.
    The Bridger-Teton National Forest currently has four other cabin 
rentals. These rentals are regularly booked throughout their rental 
season. A business analysis of Historic Guard Station Cabins has shown 
that people desire having this sort of recreation experience on the 
Bridger-Teton National Forest. A market analysis indicates that the 
$40/per night fee is both reasonable and acceptable for this sort of 
unique recreation experience.
    People wanting to rent the Sherman Guard Station Cabins 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.

    Dated: February 8, 2007.

Bridger-Teton National Forest Supervisor.
