Proposed Recreation Fee Site

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Inyo National Forest is proposing to establish a 
recreation fee site. Proposed recreation fees collected at the proposed 
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 proposed 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 proposed recreation fees would be established 
no earlier than six months following the publication of this notice in 
the Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Inyo National Forest, Attention: Recreation Fees, 351 Pacu 
Lane, Suite 200, Bishop, CA 93514.

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 proposed 
recreation fee sites. In accordance with Forest Service Handbook 
2309.13, Chapter 30, the Forest Service will publish the proposed 
recreation fee sites and proposed recreation fees in local newspapers 
and other local publications for public comment. Most of the proposed 
recreation fees would be spent where they are collected to enhance the 
visitor experience at the proposed recreation fee sites.
    A special recreation permit recreation fee of $20 per permit is 
proposed for the Inyo National Forest Christmas Tree Permits. The 4th 
Grade Pass would be honored for a free permit.
    Expenditures of recreation fees collected at the proposed 
recreation fee sites would enhance recreation opportunities, improve 
customer service, and address maintenance needs. Once public 
involvement is complete, the proposed recreation fee sites and proposal 
recreation fees will be reviewed by a Recreation Resource Advisory 
Committee prior to a final decision and implementation.
