Notice of Proposed New Fee Sites

AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee sites.

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

SUMMARY: The Sequoia National Forest is proposing to charge new fees at 
several 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: Sequoia National Forest, 1839 S Newcomb, Porterville, 
California 93257.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen Miller, Public Services Staff 
Officer, 559-784-1500 or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Lands Recreation 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, Troy Meadow Group Campground is proposed 
at $90 per night. In addition, this proposal would implement a new fee 
at Bonita Cabin, for $90 per night.
    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 cabins will be available through www.recreation.gov or 
by calling 877-444-6777. The reservation service charges an $8.00 fee 
for reservations.
