Proposed New Recreation Fee Sites

AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Shoshone National Forest is proposing to establish 
multiple new recreation fee sites. Recreation fee revenues collected at 
the new recreation fee sites would be used for operation, maintenance, 
and improvement of the sites. An analysis of nearby recreation fee 
sites with similar amenities shows the recreation fees that would be 
charged at the new recreation fee sites are 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: Shoshone National Forest, 808 Meadow Lane Avenue, Cody, WY 
82414.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Rau, Outdoor Recreation Planner, 
307-250-9317, 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 fees 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 sites.
    An expanded amenity recreation fee of $5 per site per night would 
be charged at the Aspen Glade, Brown Mountain, Deer Creek, Frye Lake, 
Hugh Otte, Jack Creek, Lily Lake, Little Popo Agie, Little Sunlight, 
Warm Springs, and Wood River Campgrounds. An expanded amenity 
recreation fee of $10 per night would be charged at the Wild Iris 
Campground. The recreation fee revenues would enhance recreation 
opportunities, improve customer service, and address maintenance needs. 
Reservations for the campgrounds could be made online at 
www.recreation.gov or by calling 877-444-6777. Reservations would cost 
$8.00 per reservation.
