Notice of Proposed New Fee Sites; Federal Lands Recreation 
Enhancement Act

AGENCY: Forest Service.

ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee sites.

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

SUMMARY: The National Forests in Florida are proposing to charge new 
fees at four campgrounds for $10 per night and one day use area for $5 
per vehicle. All sites have recently been reconstructed, or amenities 
are being added to improve services and experiences. Fees are assessed 
based on the level of amenities and services provided, cost of 
operation and maintenance, market assessment, and public comment. Funds 
from fees would be used for the continued operation and maintenance of 
these recreation sites.

DATES: Send any comments about these fee proposals by August 6, 2018 so 
comments can be compiled, analyzed and shared with a Recreation 
Resource Advisory Committee. New fees would begin after July 2018.

ADDRESSES: Kelly Russell, Forest Supervisor, National Forests in 
Florida, 325 John Knox Road, Suite F-100, Tallahassee, FL 32303.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Erika Davis, Recreation, Heritage, 
Engineering, Lands & Minerals Staff Officer, 850-523-8569. Information 
about proposed fee changes can also be found on the National Forests in 
Florida website: http://www.fs.usda.gov/florida.

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.
    The campgrounds proposed for new fees are:
     Wood Lake Campground and Boat Landing on the Apalachicola 
National Forest.
     Cobb Camp, West Tower Campground, and Wiggins Campground 
on the Osceola National Forest.
    Improvements at these sites include designating campsites, 
installing fire rings, picnic tables and adding garbage service. 
Improvements address sanitation and safety concerns, as well as 
deteriorating resource conditions and recreation experiences. Wood Lake 
Boat Landing is the day use site proposed at $5 per vehicle. The 
America the Beautiful, National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands 
passes would be accepted at these sites. Once public involvement is 
complete, these new fees will be reviewed by a Recreation Resource 
Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and implementation.

    Dated: May 17, 2018.
Glenn Casamassa,
Associate Deputy Chief, National Forest System.
