Notice of Proposed New Fee Site

AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee site.

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

SUMMARY: The Cleveland National Forest is proposing to charge a new fee 
at one 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 fee is 
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: Cleveland National Forest, 10845 Rancho Bernardo Road, Suite 
200, San Diego, CA 92127.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joseph Raffaele, Forest Recreation 
Program Manager, at 858-674-2961 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 this site, will help ensure 
that the Forest can continue maintaining and improving recreation sites 
like this for future generations.
    As part of this proposal, the Boulder Oaks Campground is proposing 
a $5 per person/per night backpacker walk-in campsite fee.
    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, this new 
fee will be reviewed by a Recreation Resource Advisory Committee prior 
to a final decision and implementation.
    Advanced reservations will be available through www.recreation.gov 
or by calling 1-877-444-6777. The reservation service charges an $8.00 
fee for reservations.
