SUMMARY: The Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest is proposing to charge a 
$90 expanded amenity recreation fee for

the overnight rental of the historic Squaw Mountain Fire Lookout. 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 lookout. An 
analysis of the lookout shows that the proposed fees are reasonable and 
typical of comparable sites.

DATES: Comments will be accepted through February 28, 2010. New fees 
would begin the summer 2010.

P.O. Box 3307, Idaho Springs, CO 80452.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nicole Malandri, Clear Creek Ranger 
District Recreation Fee Manager, 303-567-3016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act 
(Title VII, Pub. L. 108-447) instruct 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. People 
wanting to rent Squaw Mountain Lookout will need to do so through the 
National Recreation Reservation Service, at http://www.recreation.gov 
or by calling 1-877-444-6777 when it becomes available.
