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 recreation fee that would be charged 
at the new recreation fee site is reasonable and typical of similar 
recreation fee sites in the area.

than six months following the publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register.

ADDRESSES: Superior National Forest, 8901 Grand Avenue Place, Duluth, 
MN 55808.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tim Engrav, Acting Recreation Fee 
Manager, 218-666-0025 or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act 
(16 U.S.C. 6803(b)) requires the Forest Service 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 site in local newspapers and other local publications 
for public comment. 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 $150 per 
night would be charged for rental of Wolf Island Cabin.
    Expenditures from recreation fee revenues collected at the new 
recreation fee site would enhance recreation opportunities, improve 
customer service, and address maintenance needs. Once public 
involvement is complete, the new recreation fee will be reviewed by a 
Recreation Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and 
implementation. Reservations for Wolf Island Cabin could be made online 
at www.recreation.gov or by calling 877-444-6777. Reservations would 
cost $8.00 per reservation.
