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 proposed new fee site.

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

SUMMARY: The Eldorado National Forest is planning to charge a $10 fee 
for the overnight camping and a $5 fee for extra vehicles at the Lovers 
Leap Campground, located on the Placerville Ranger District. This 
existing campground has been available for use without a fee prior to 
this time. Funds from the new campground fees will be used for the 
continued operation and maintenance of Lovers Leap Campground. The 
Eldorado National Forest currently has 14 other campgrounds at which 
fees are charged under the Recreation Enhancement Act. These 
campgrounds are often fully booked throughout the use season. A 
business analysis of Lover's Leap Campground has shown that people 
desire having this sort of recreation experience on the Eldorado 
National

Forest. A market analysis indicates that the $10/per night fee and $5/
per extra vehicle is both reasonable and acceptable for this sort of 
unique recreation experience. Use of the campground will remain on a 
first come/first serve basis. Advance reservations will not be 
available.

DATES: The new fees at Lovers Leap Campground 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.
