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

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of new fee site and solicitation of comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison (GMUG) National 
Forests proposes to begin charging fees for the overnight rental of 
three cabins including the Matterhorn Guard Station, the Lone Cone 
Guard Station and the Alpine Guard Station. Rental of cabins on the 
GMUG National Forests and other National Forests of Colorado is very 
popular and shows that the public appreciates and enjoys the use and 
availability of historic rental cabins. Funds from the rentals will be 
used for the continued operation and maintenance of the rental cabins. 
The Matterhorn Guard Station is located in T41N, R9W, Section 5, NMPM, 
and the Lone Cone Station is located in T42N, R12W, Section 23, NMPM; 
both are in the Norwood Ranger District. The Alpine Guard Station is 
located in T46N, R5W, Section 24, NMPM, on the Gunnison Ranger 
District.

DATES: The sites are expected to become available for rent July 2010. 
Comments, concerns or questions about this new fee must be submitted by 
June 30, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments, concerns or questions about the new 
fee for cabin rentals to Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National 
Forests, Attn: Cabin Rental Program, 2250 Highway 50, Delta, Colorado 
81416.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy Peckham, Norwood Recreation 
Staff Officer, 970-327-4261 for the Matterhorn and Lone Cone Stations; 
or Leigh Ann Hunt, Forest Archaeologist, 970-874-6691 for the Alpine 
Guard Station.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Lands Recreation 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 fees are established. The intent of this notice is to give 
the public an opportunity to comment if they have concerns or questions 
about new fees.
    This is an addition to the GMUG National Forest's existing cabin 
rental program. Other cabin rentals on the GMUG and other National 
Forests in Colorado are often fully booked throughout the rental 
season. The GMUG National Forest proposes to rent the cabins for $100 
to $350 a night, but will conduct a market analysis to determine if the 
fees are both reasonable and acceptable for this unique recreation 
experience. People wanting to rent the cabins will need to make advance 
reservations 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 fee for reservations.
