ACTION: Notice of New Fee Site.

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

SUMMARY: The Coronado National Forest proposes to begin charging a new 
$150.00 per day fee for rental of the Half Moon Ranch located 9 miles 
west of Sunsites, Arizona. Rental of the Cabin includes overnight use. 
Rental of the cabin and other facilities within the Arizona National 
Forests has shown that the public appreciates and enjoys the 
availability of historic rental facilities. Funds from the rentals will 
be used for the continued operation and maintenance of the Half Moon 
Ranch.

DATES: Half Moon Ranch will become available for rent July, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Coronado National Forest, 300 West Congress, Tucson, AZ

National Forest, (520) 760-2502.

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 Coronado National Forest 
currently has one other rental facility. This facility is booked 
regularly throughout the rental season. A business analysis for the 
rental of the Half Moon Ranch shows that people desire having this sort 
of recreation experience on the Coronado National Forest. A market 
analysis indicates that the $150.00 daily fee is both reasonable and 
acceptable for this sort of unique recreation experience. People 
wanting to rent the Half Moon Ranch will need to do so through the 
National Recreation Reservation Service, at http://www.recreation.gov 
or by calling 1-877-444-6777. The National Recreation Reservation 
Service charges a $9 fee per reservation.
