Proposed Recreation Fee Sites

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Fremont-Winema National Forest is proposing to establish 
several 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: Fremont-Winema National Forest, Attention: Recreation Fees, 
1301 South G Street, Lakeview, OR 97630.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Stoffel, Forest Recreation 
Program Manager, (541) 947-2151 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 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 $10 per night and $5 
per extra vehicle fee would be charged for Rye Spur Horse Camp and 
Sevenmile Equestrian Camp and Trailhead. A proposed expanded amenity 
recreation fee of $10 per night and $2 per extra vehicle fee would be 
charged for Jones Crossing, Happy Camp, and Willow Creek Campgrounds. 
An expanded amenity recreation fee of $5 per extra vehicle would be 
charged at Walt Haring Campground. A proposed expanded amenity 
recreation fee of $20 per night and $5 per extra vehicle would be 
charged for Annie Creek Campground and Sno-Park. In addition, a 
proposed expanded amenity recreation fee of $100 per night would be 
charged for rental of Pelican and Sevenmile Guard Stations.
    A proposed standard amenity recreation fee of $5 per day per 
vehicle would be charged at Cold Springs, Malone Springs, Odessa, Rocky 
Point, Sevenmile Marsh, Summit Sno-Park/Pacific Crest Trail, and Wood 
River developed recreation sites. The Annual Northwest Forest Pass, 
National Forest Recreation Day Pass, National Forest Recreation ePass, 
and the America the Beautiful--the National Parks and Federal 
Recreational Lands Pass would be honored at these standard amenity 
recreation fee sites.
    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. Reservations 
for campgrounds could be made online at www.recreation.gov or by 
calling 877-444-6777. Reservations would cost $8.00 per reservation.
