Notice of Proposed New Fee Sites

AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee sites.

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

SUMMARY: The Coconino National Forest is proposing to charge new fees 
at multiple recreation sites listed in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION of 
this notice. Funds from fees would be used for operation, maintenance, 
and improvements of these recreation sites. 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 fee would be implemented no earlier than 
six months following the publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register.

ADDRESSES: Coconino National Forest, 1824 S Thompson St., Flagstaff, AZ 
86001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher Johansen, Forest 
Recreation Officer, 928-203-7529 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, a $5 day-use fee per vehicle is proposed 
at Dry Creek, Fay Canyon, Mescal, Bell, Lava River Cave, and Bruce 
Brocket Day use sites. The Red Rock Pass and full suite of Interagency 
passes would be honored.
    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.

    Dated: June 22, 2022.

Acting Associate Deputy Chief, National Forest System.
