Proposed New Fee Site

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of new fee site.

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

SUMMARY: The Payette National Forest is proposing to charge a new fee 
at four cabins including Paddy Flat, Burgdorf, Warren Bunkhouse, and 
Warren Ranger cabins. These units are currently not in use by the 
public. Rentals of other cabins on the Payette National Forest have 
shown people appreciate and enjoy the availability of rental cabins.

DATES: Comments will be accepted through September 30, 2021. New fees 
would go into effect in the spring of 2022, if possible.

ADDRESSES: Payette National Forest, Attention: Linda Jackson, 500 N 
Mission St., McCall, Idaho 83638

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Emily Simpson, Recreation Specialist, 
208-634-0757. Information about proposed fee changes can also be found 
on the Payette National Forest website: http://www.fs.usda.gov/payette.

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. A market analysis indicated that 
the

proposed fees are both reasonable and acceptable for the type of 
recreation experience they provide.
    Once public involvement is complete, these new fees will be 
reviewed by a Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and 
implementation.
    Cabins will be available for overnight rental at $160 per night for 
the Burgdorf Guard Station, $100 per night for the Paddy Flat Guard 
Station, and $120 per night for a bunkhouse and $130 per night for a 
cabin at the Warren Guard Station. Seasons for each of these sites will 
be July 1 to September 30. Fees are assessed based on the level of 
amenities and services provided, cost of operation and maintenance, and 
market assessment. Funds from the rental will be used for the continued 
operation and maintenance of these sites.
    People wanting to rent any of these sites will need to do so 
through Recreation.gov, at www.recreation.gov or by calling 1-877-444-
6777. Recreation.gov charges an $8 fee for reservations.
