Proposed Recreation Fee Sites

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Bridger-Teton National Forest is proposing to establish 
two recreation fee sites. 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: Bridger-Teton National Forest, Attention: Recreation Fees, 
340 N Cache, P.O. Box 1888, Jackson, WY 83001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shannon Connolly, Forest Recreation 
Program Manager, (406) 544-4734, [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 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 proposed expanded amenity recreation fee of $20 per night would 
be charged for Swift Creek campground. A proposed expanded amenity 
recreation fee of $100 per night for groups of up to 40 people would be 
charged for Lynx Creek group campground. 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. Campgrounds could be reserved online at 
www.recreation.gov or by calling 877-444-6777. Reservations would cost 
$8.00 per reservation.
