telecommunication devices for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal 
Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 between 8 a.m. and 8 
p.m., Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act 
(Title VII, Pub. L. 108-447) directed 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 BLM North Central 
Montana Recreation Resource Advisory Council prior to a final decision 
and implementation. Reasonable fees, paid by users of these sites and 
services, will help ensure that the Forest can continue maintaining and 
improving the sites for future generations. A market analysis of 
surrounding recreation sites with similar amenities indicates that the 
proposed fees are comparable and reasonable. Advance reservations for 
the AT&T Cabin will be available through www.recreation.gov or by 
calling 1-877-444-6777. The reservation service charge is $8 for 
reservations.
