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

AGENCY: Eldorado National Forest, USDA Forest Service.

ACTION: Notice of a proposed new fee site.

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

SUMMARY: The Eldorado National Forest is planning to charge a $5 fee 
for the day use at the Woods Lake Picnic Area, located on the Amador 
Ranger District Ranger District. This existing picnic area has been 
available for use without a fee prior to this time. Funds from the new 
standard amenity day use fee will be used for the continued operation 
and maintenance of Woods Lake Picnic Area. The Eldorado National Forest 
currently has five other day use areas at which fees are charged under 
the Recreation Enhancement Act, including the nearby Carson Pass, 
Meiss, and Woods Lake Trailheads that provide access into the Carson 
Pass Management Area. A business analysis of Woods Lake Picnic Area has 
shown that people desire having this sort of recreation experience on 
the Eldorado National Forest. A market analysis indicates that the $5/
per vehicle fee is both reasonable and acceptable for this sort of 
recreation experience. Fees will be collected at the site using a self 
pay fee tube. The following annual passes will be accepted in lieu of a 
daily fee: Eldorado National Forest/Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit 
Annual Pass, or one of the following Federal Passes: Interagency Annual 
Pass, Interagency Senior Pass, Interagency Volunteer Pass, or 
Interagency Access Pass.

DATES: The new fees at Woods Lake Picnic Area will become effective May 
1, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Forest Supervisor, Eldorado National Forest, 100 Forni Road, 
Placerville, CA 95667.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Diana Erickson, Recreation Fee 
Coordinator, (530) 621-5214.

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.

    Dated: May 8, 2007.

Eldorado National Forest Supervisor.
