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

AGENCY: Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed New Fee Site.

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

SUMMARY: The Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest is proposing to charge 
fees at the Spring Mountains Visitor Gateway Complex new group picnic 
sites. These group picnic sites include a $70 fee per site, year 
around. During the summer months the sites can be reserved for $70 for 
a half day or $120 for all day. Fees are assessed based on the level of 
amenities and services provided, cost of operations and maintenance, 
and market assessment. 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 these picnic 
sites.
    An analysis of the nearby federal and state group picnic sites with 
similar amenities shows that the proposed fees are reasonable and 
typical of similar sites in the area.

DATES: Comments will be accepted through September 1, 2014. New fees 
would begin spring of 2015.

ADDRESSES: Bill Dunkelberger, Forest Supervisor, Humboldt-Toiyabe 
National Forest, 1200 Franklin Way, Sparks, NV 89431.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Del Orme, Recreation Staff Officer, 
702-515-5401. Information about proposed fee changes can also be found 
on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest Web site: http://www.fs.usda.gov/htnf/.

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. 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 reserve these cabins would need to do so through the National 
Recreation Reservation Service, at www.recreation.gov or by calling 1-
877-444-6777 when it becomes available.

    Date: September 3, 2014.
William A. Dunkelberger,
Forest Supervisor.
