Notice of New Fee Site

AGENCY: Rio Grande National Forest, USDA Forest Service.

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

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

SUMMARY: The Rio Grande National Forest is proposing to add a cabin for 
rent to the public for a $50 fee for the overnight rental. It was 
recently renovated and has public interest in utilizing the facility. 
Rentals of other cabins on the Rio Grande National Forest have shown 
that people appreciate and enjoy the availability of historic rental 
cabins. Funds from the rental will be used to continued operations and 
maintenance of Duncan Cabin. People are invited to comment on this 
proposal.

DATES: Send any comments about these fee proposals by October 1, 2013 
so comments can be compiled, analyzed and shared with a Recreation 
Resource Advisory Committee. Duncan Cabin will become available for 
recreation rental July 15, 2014 pending recommendations from the 
Colorado Recreation Resource Advisory Committee.

ADDRESSES: Forest Supervisor, Rio Grande National Forest, 1803 West 
Highway 160, Monte Vista, CO 81144.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Pitts, Saguache District Ranger, 
719-655-2547.

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. This new fee will be reviewed by 
a Recreation Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and 
implementation.
    The Duncan cabin is located in the Rio Grande National Forest, part 
of the ghost-town of Duncan, 12 miles southeast of Crestone, CO in the 
foothills of the Sangre De Cristo Wilderness. A cooperative project 
with HistoriCorp conducted a restoration project of the cabin. 
Deteriorated sill logs and the log crib were repaired with epoxy or 
replaced, as necessary, wood flooring was installed and the foundation 
stabilized, and the roof had wood decking replaced and was re-roofed 
with cedar shingles. The project was completed in September of 2011.

    Dated: March 7, 2013.
 James Pitts,
Saguache District Ranger.
