ACTION: Notice of new fee site.

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

SUMMARY: The Bridger-Teton National Forest is planning to charge an $80 
fee for the overnight rental of Green River Lakes Lodge. This facility 
has not been available for recreation use prior to this date. Rentals 
of other historic guard stations 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 Green River Lakes Lodge.

DATES: Green River Lakes Lodge will become available for recreation 
rental October 2007.

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cindy Stein, Natural Resources 
Specialist, 307-367-5717.

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 numerous other 
cabin rentals. These rentals are often fully booked throughout their 
rental season. A business analysis of the Green River Lakes Lodge has 
shown that people desire having this sort of recreation experience on 
the Bridger-Teton National Forest. A market analysis indicates that the 
$80/per night fee is both reasonable and acceptable for this sort of 
unique recreation experience.
    People wanting to rent Green River Lakes Lodge 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.
