Proposed Recreation Fee Sites

AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture (USDA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Chugach 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 that the proposed recreation fees 
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: Chugach National Forest, Attention: Jesse Labenski, 33599 
Ranger Station Spur, Seward, AK 99664.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jesse Labenski, Recreation Program 
Manager, (907) 288-7745, [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 before 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 $75 per night would 
be charged for rental of Freestone and Trinity Point cabins.
    Fee revenue would be used to enhance recreation opportunities, 
improve customer service, and address maintenance needs. Once public 
involvement is complete, the proposed recreation fee sites and proposed 
recreation fees will be reviewed by a Recreation Resource Advisory 
Committee prior to a final decision and implementation. Reservations 
for campgrounds and cabins can be made online at www.recreation.gov or 
by calling (877) 444-6777. Reservations cost $8.00 per reservation.

Associate Deputy Chief, National Forest System.
