Proposed Recreation Fee Site

AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The National Forests in Florida are proposing to establish a 
recreation fee site. Proposed recreation fees collected at the proposed 
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 proposed recreation fees that would be 
charged at the proposed recreation fee site 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: National Forests of Florida, Attention: Recreation Fees, 325 
John Knox Road Building F, Suite 210, Tallahassee, FL 32303.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Derrick Washington, Recreation Program 
Manager, 850-523-8500 or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act 
(16 U.S.C. 6803(b)) requires the Forest Service to publish in the 
Federal Register a six-month advance notice 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 site 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 site.
    A proposed standard amenity recreation fee of $5 per day per 
vehicle and $40 per season or year per vehicle would be charged at 
Prospect Bluff Historic Site. The National Forests of Florida Day Use 
Pass and the America the Beautiful--the National Parks and Federal 
Recreational Lands Pass would be honored at this proposed standard 
amenity recreation fee site.
    Expenditures of recreation fees collected at the proposed 
recreation fee site would enhance recreation opportunities, improve 
customer service, and address maintenance needs. Once public 
involvement is complete, the proposed recreation fee site and proposed 
recreation fees will be reviewed by a Recreation Resource Advisory 
Committee prior to a final decision and implementation.
