Notice of new fee site; Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act,

AGENCY: Fishlake National Forest, USDA Forest Service.

ACTION: Notice of New Fee Site.

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

SUMMARY: The Fremont River Ranger District of the Fishlake National 
Forest will begin charging a $10 fee for single family overnight 
camping and a $25 fee for group family overnight camping at the Tasha 
Equestrian Campground. There will also be a $5 fee for an extra 
vehicle. Overnight camping at other campgrounds on the Fishlake 
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 
Tasha Equestrian Campground.

DATES: Tasha Equestrian Campground will become available for overnight 
camping on May 25, 2008 (weather permitting).

ADDRESSES: Forest Supervisor, Fishlake National Forest, 115 East, 900 
North, Richfield, Utah 84701.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David C. Bell, Forester, 435-836-2811.

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 Fremont River Ranger District of the Fishlake National Forest 
currently has several other fee campgrounds. These facilities are 
within the Fish Lake Basin Recreation Area in close proximity to Fish 
Lake, the largest natural mountain lake in the state. It is the only 
equestrian campground in the area. This area offers significant 
recreational opportunities such as camping, boating, fishing, hiking, 
horseback riding, and wildlife viewing. A market analysis indicates 
that the $10/per night single family camping fee and $25/per night 
group family camping fee is both reasonable and acceptable for this 
sort of unique recreation experience.

    Dated: June 6, 2007.
Mary C. Erickson,
Fishlake National Forest Supervisor.
