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

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 $8 fee for single family overnight camping 
and a $25 to $35 fee (depending on the number of people) for group 
family overnight camping at the Lower Bowns Campground. There will also 
be a $4 fee for an extra vehicle. This campground is located on the 
Dixie National Forest, but is administered by the Fishlake National 
Forest. Overnight camping at other campgrounds on the Dixie National 
Forest have shown that publics appreciate and enjoy the availability of 
developed recreation facilities. Funds from the fee charges will be 
used for continued operation and maintenance of the Lower Bowns 
Campground.

DATES: Lower Bowns 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 fee campgrounds. 
These facilities are adjacent to Lower Bowns Reservoir on the east 
slope of Boulder Mountain, in south and central Utah. This area offers 
significant recreational camping, fishing, boating, ATV riding, 
horseback riding, hiking, hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities 
and is rich in historical and cultural importance. A market analysis 
indicates that the $8/per night single family camping fee and the $25 
to $35/per night group family camping fee are both reasonable and 
acceptable for this sort of unique recreation experience.

Fishlake National Forest Supervisor.
