Notice of Proposed New Fee Sites

AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee sites.

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

SUMMARY: The Allegheny National Forest is proposing to charge three new 
fees at the recreation site listed in Supplementary Information of this 
notice. Funds from fees would be used for operation, maintenance, and 
improvements of this recreation site. An analysis of nearby developed 
recreation sites with similar amenities shows the proposed fees are 
reasonable and typical of similar sites in the area.

DATES: If approved, the new fees would be implemented no earlier than 
six months following the publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register.

ADDRESSES: Allegheny National Forest, 29 Forest Service Drive, 
Bradford, PA 16701.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Justin Woldt, Supervisory Natural 
Resource Specialist, 814-363-6089, or [email protected].

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 fees are only proposed at 
this time and will be determined upon further analysis and public 
comment. Reasonable fees, paid by users of these sites, will help 
ensure that the Forest can continue maintaining and improving 
recreation sites like this for future generations.
    As part of this proposal, the Twin Lakes Recreation Area campground 
is proposed at $12 per night with a $6 fee for hookups. The group 
campground fee is proposed at $50 per night, and a group pavilion site 
fee of $35 per half day and $50 per full day are proposed.
    New fees would provide increased visitor opportunities as well as 
increased staffing to address operations and maintenance needs and 
enhance customer service. Once public involvement is complete, these 
new fees will be reviewed by a Recreation Resource Advisory Committee 
prior to a final decision and implementation.
    Advanced reservations for campgrounds and group sites will be 
available through www.recreation.gov or by calling 1-877-444-6777. The 
reservation service charges an $8.00 fee for reservations.
