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

AGENCY: Manti-La Sal National Forest, Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of New Recreation Fees.

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

SUMMARY: The Manti-La Sal National Forest is proposing to add the 
Orange Olsen Administrative Site facilities into the recreation rental 
program. The facilities proposed for the recreation rental program 
include: (1) Orange Olsen Dwelling and (2) Orange Olsen Bunkhouse with 
four trailer pads. The proposal is to charge $60.00 per night at the 
Dwelling and $40.00 per night at the Bunkhouse. The fee for the 
Bunkhouse would also include four trailer pads with water and sewer 
hookups. Visitors will have the option of reserving the Dwelling or the 
Bunkhouse separately, or the entire site. Fees are assessed based on 
the level of amenities and services provided, cost of operation and 
maintenance, and market comparison. Funds from fees would be retained 
locally and used for the operations and maintenance, and future 
improvements including historical information on the cabins.
    The Orange Olsen Dwelling has a front room, two bedrooms (sleeping 
up to six people), kitchen, and bathroom with shower. An accessible 
ramp provides entrance to the back door of the facility. The Orange 
Olsen Bunkhouse has a combination kitchen/bedroom (sleeping up to four 
people), bathroom with shower, and four trailer pads with water and 
sewer hookups. Both of the buildings have photovoltaic (solar) 
lighting, propane fueled appliances, water, and sewer.

DATES: Send any comments about these fee proposals by December 31, 2013 
so comments can be compiled, analyzed and shared with the Utah Bureau 
of Land Management Recreation Resource Advisory Committee (RRAC). If 
this fee proposal is approved, it is anticipated that the Orange Olsen 
Administrative Site facilities would become available for overnight 
rental in the summer of 2014.

ADDRESSES: Allen Rowley, Acting Forest Supervisor, Manti-La Sal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act

publish a six month advance notice in the Federal Register whenever new 
recreation fee areas are established. This new fee will be reviewed by 
the Utah Bureau of Land Management Recreation Resource Advisory Council 
(RRAC) prior to final decision and implementation by the Regional 
Forester, Intermountain Region, USDA Forest Service.
