Notice of New Fee Site; Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act

AGENCY: Allegheny National Forest, USDA Forest Service.

ACTION: Notice of New Fee Site.

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

SUMMARY: The Allegheny National Forest is planning to charge from $100-
$150 per night fee for rental of the Farnsworth Cabin. This cabin has 
not been available to the public for recreation use prior to Spring 
2009. This historic cabin was built by the Civilian Conservation Corp 
in the 1940's. Rentals of other cabins on the Allegheny National Forest 
have shown that the public appreciates and enjoys the availability of 
historic rental cabins.

DATES: Farnsworth Cabin will become available for recreation rental 
Spring, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Forest Supervisor, Allegheny National Forest, P.O. Box 847, 
Warren PA 16365.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tonika Goins, Recreation Team Leader 
for Bradford District, 29 Forest Service Drive, Bradford, PA 16701, 
phone (814) 363-6049, or mail [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act 
(title VIII, 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 new fee will be reviewed by a 
Recreation Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and 
implementation. A market analysis indicates that the $100 to $150/per 
night fee is both reasonable and acceptable for this sort of unique 
recreation experience. People wanting to rent Farnsworth Cabin will 
need to do so through the National Recreation Reservation Service, at 
http://www.reserveusa.com or by calling 1-877-444-6777. The National 
Recreation Reservation Service charges a $9 fee for reservation.
