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

AGENCY: National Forests in Mississippi, USDA Forest Service.

ACTION: Notice of New Recreation Fee Site.

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

SUMMARY: Bethel Motorcycle and Bethel ATV Trails are located near 
Saucier, MS. Currently, the Bethel Motorcycle trail contains a 17-mile 
single track trail and the Bethel ATV Trail contains 39 miles of trail. 
Both sites contain an information board, toilet facilities, and 
parking; and security is provided. The Forest Service proposes to 
charge $10 per operator for access to these trails. A $60 annual pass 
will also be available for purchase by the public. This annual pass 
could be used for access to three other motorized trails in the 
National Forests in Mississippi and would be valid for 12 months. The 
fees listed are only proposed and will be determined upon further 
analysis and public comments. All funds received from these fees would 
be used for continued operation and maintenance of the facility and 
allow additional amenities to be added to enhance the recreational 
experience at the facility. Comparable recreational use fees are being 
proposed at other sites that provide similar recreational opportunities 
in Mississippi.

DATES: Comments will be accepted through November 1, 2010. 
Implementation of fees is proposed to take place in fiscal year 2011.

publish advance notice in the Federal Register whenever new recreation 
fee areas are established.
