Notice of Proposed New Fee Sites

AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee sites.

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

SUMMARY: The Wallowa-Whitman National Forest is proposing to implement 
new fees at twenty-two sites listed in the Supplementary Information. 
The Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act directed the Secretary of 
Agriculture to publish a six-month advance notice in the Federal 
Register whenever new recreation fee areas are established. An analysis 
of the nearby private and public offerings with similar amenities shows 
that the proposed fees are reasonable and typical of similar sites in 
the area.

DATES: The new fees will be implemented no earlier than six months 
following publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, Attention: Recreation 
Program Manager, 1550 Dewey Ave., Suite A, Baker City, OR 97814.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Teresa Fraser, Recreation Fee 
Coordinator, 541-805-2769 or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This fee proposal was vetted through the 
Forest Service public involvement process which included announcement 
of the proposal in local and regional media outlets, on the Forest 
internet and social media sites, and briefing Federal and local elected 
officials. The results of these efforts were presented to the local 
Resource Advisory Committee (RAC) for evaluation and recommendation to 
implement the new recreation fees which were approved.
    Reasonable fees, paid by users of these sites, will help ensure the 
Forest can continue maintaining and improving recreation sites like 
this for future generations. Fees at the Moss Springs Guard Station 
will be $60/night, and fees will be $80/night at the Lostine Guard 
Station. The following day use site fees will be $5/day and will honor 
the full suite of America the Beautiful Interagency passes, as well as 
the Northwest Forest pass: Elkhorn Crest Trailhead, Hat Point 
Trailhead, Heavens Gate Trailhead, Upper Snake River Trailhead, and 
Windy Saddle Trailhead. Fees at the following campgrounds will be $10/
night: Black Lake Campground, Boulder Park Campground, Boundary 
Campground, Canyon Forest Camp, Coyote Campground, Catherine Creek 
Campground, Saddle Creek Campground, Seven Devils Campground, Spring 
Creek Campground, Twin Lakes Campground, Two Color Campground, Umapine 
Campground, and Windy Saddle Horse Camp. Mcbride and Dougherty 
Campground fees will be $15/.
    People wanting to reserve these campgrounds and cabins will be able 
to do so through Recreation.gov, at www.recreation.gov or by calling 1-
877-444-6777.
