Notice of Proposed New Fee Site; Federal Lands Recreation 
Enhancement Act

AGENCY: Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, USDA Forest Service.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest is proposing to charge a 
$10.00 fee at Bob Scott Campground. Fees are assessed based on the 
level of amenities and services provided, cost of operations and 
maintenance, market assessment and public comment. The fee is proposed 
and will be determined upon further analysis and public comment. Funds 
from fees would be used for the continued operation, maintenance and 
improvements of this campground.
    Amenities provided at Bob Scott campground include drinking water, 
flush toilets, garbage service, and sites with tables, grills and fire-
rings. The proposed fee will allow continued operation and upkeep of 
these amenities, correction of sanitation and safety issues, repair and 
replacement of facilities when necessary, and generally improved 
conditions at the campground. Finally, these actions would improve the 
recreation experience.
    An analysis of the campground shows that the proposed fees are 
reasonable and typical of similar sites in the area.

DATES: Comments will be accepted through November 13th 2009. New fees 
would begin May 2010.

ADDRESSES: Edward Monnig, Forest Supervisor, Humboldt-Toiyabe National 
Forest, 1200 Franklin Way, Sparks, Nevada 89431.

Coordinator, 775-352-1254. Information about proposed fee changes can 
also be found on the Intermountain Region Web site: http://wwwfs.fed.us/r4/recreation/rac/index.shtml.

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. Once public involvement is 
complete, these new fees will be reviewed by a Recreation Resource 
Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and implementation.
