SUMMARY: The Bureau of Reclamation is proposing to charge and retain

and Smittle Creek Day Use Areas located at Lake Berryessa. Special 
Recreation Event authorization fees, and shade shelter reservations are 
also proposed to be retained under this authority.

DATES: Submit written comments on the new fee site on or before January 
31, 2019. The proposed new fees would begin May 1, 2019. Public meeting 
dates and location will be announced locally by press release and 
posted on the Lake Berryessa website at www.usbr.gov/mp/ccao/berryessa/.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Margaret David Bailey, Lake Berryessa

California 94558; or call (707) 966-2111 extension 106; or send email 
to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act 
(Title VII, Pub. L. 108-447) directed the Secretary of the Interior to 
publish a 6-month advance notice in the Federal Register whenever new 
recreation fee areas are established. Once public outreach is complete, 
the new fees proposed below will be reviewed by the Bureau of 
Reclamation Mid-Pacific Regional Director prior to a final decision and 
implementation. Visitors wanting to reserve shade shelters would need 
to do so through the National Reservation Service at 
www.recreation.gov, or by calling 1-877-444-6777.
    The proposed fee for day use is $5 per vehicle ($50 annual fee); 
boat launch is $10 per launch ($100 annual fee); and $25 per shade 
shelter. All interagency Senior and Access Passes will be accepted for 
day use and discounted boat launching (50% discount). An analysis of 
the nearby Federal and state recreation offerings with similar 
amenities shows that the proposed fees are reasonable and typical of 
similar sites in the area. Funds from fees will be used for the 
continued operation, maintenance, and improvements of the reservoir 
area recreation amenities and related programs.
    Public Disclosure. Before including your address, phone number, 
email address, or other personal identifying information in your 
comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including your 
personal identifying information--may be made publicly available at any 
time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal 
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we 
will be able to do so.

    Dated: July 19, 2018.
 Richard J. Woodley,
 Acting Regional Director.
