services provided, cost of operations and maintenance, and market 
assessment of each site. Fees are necessary to ensure continued 
operation, maintenance, and improvements of these facilities. Final fee 
adjustments will be determined based upon further analysis and public 
comment.

DATES: Comments will be accepted through September 1st, 2017. New fees

ADDRESS: Cid Morgan, Forest Supervisor, Hiawatha National Forest, 820 
Rains Drive Gladstone, Michigan 49837.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Holeva, Program Manager 
Recreation and Lands, 906-428-5889. Information about the proposed fee 
changes can be also found on the Hiawatha National Forest Web site: 
https://www.fs.usda.gov/hiawatha.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act 
(Title VII, Pub. L. 108-447) directs the Secretary of Agriculture to 
publish a six month advance notice in the Federal Register whenever new 
recreation fee areas are established. Once public involvement is 
complete, these new fees will be reviewed by the Recreation Resource 
Advisory Committee prior to final decision and implementation.
    Grand Island National Recreation Area is a 13,500 acre island 
located in Lake Superior about .25 miles from the mainland. All 
campsites included in this proposal are located on the southern half of 
Grand Island National Recreation Area and are accessible to the public 
via ferry service or private boat. Campsites are currently opened 
seasonally and provide a limited variety of amenities. Revenue 
generated by the proposed fee increases would be used to leverage 
federal funding, grants, and partnership contributions to make the 
following investments and improvements: Initiate trash service at boat 
access points; installation of bear-proof trash receptacles; upgrade 
picnic tables, grills, and fire rings; provide better signage; new 
heritage programs and interpretation materials; implementation of new 
permit system for better reservation tracking, and potentially a more 
environmentally sustainable recreation infrastructure, such as hammock 
stands, etc.
