Forest Service


Proposed New Recreation Fee Site

AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Chugach National Forest is proposing to establish a new 
recreation fee site. Recreation fee revenues collected at the new 
recreation fee site would be used for operation, maintenance, and 
improvement of the site. An analysis of nearby recreation fee sites 
with similar amenities shows the new recreation fee that would be 
charged at the new recreation fee site is reasonable and typical of 
similar recreation fee 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: Chugach National Forest, 161 East 1st Avenue, Door 8, 
Anchorage, Alaska 99501.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tyler Glenn, Recreation Program 
Manager, 907-743-9508, or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act 
(16 U.S.C. 6803(b)) directs the Secretary of Agriculture to publish a 
six-month advance notice in the Federal Register of establishment of 
new recreation fee sites. In accordance with Forest Service Handbook 
2309.13, Chapter 30, the Forest Service will publish the proposed new 
recreation fee for public notice and comment in local newspapers and 
other local publications. Most of the new recreation fee revenues would 
be spent where they are collected to enhance the visitor experience at 
the new recreation fee site.
    An expanded amenity recreation fee of $75 per night would be 
charged for rental of the Trail River Cabin. The recreation fee 
revenues would support operation and maintenance of the cabin. 
Reservations for rental of the cabin could be made online at 
www.recreation.gov or by calling 877-444-6777. Reservations would cost 
$8.00 per reservation.

    Dated: September 15, 2023.

Associate Deputy Chief, National Forest System.
