SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (16 U.S.C. 6803(b)) directs the Secretary of Agriculture to publish a six-month advance notice in the Federal Register of establishment of new recreation fee sites. In accordance with Forest Service Handbook 2309.13, Chapter 30, the Forest Service will publish the proposed new recreation fee sites in local newspapers and other local publications for public comment. Most of the new recreation fee revenues would be spent where they are collected to enhance the visitor experience at the new recreation fee sites.

An expanded amenity recreation fee of $12 per night would be charged for the Sawmill Creek Campground. An expanded amenity recreation fee of $30 per hour for groups up to 74 people would be charged for the Eagle Shelter, King Salmon Shelter, and Coho Shelter group picnic sites; and an expanded amenity recreation fee of $20 per night for groups up to 20 people would be charged for the Sawmill Creek Group Campground. In addition, an expanded amenity recreation fee of $25 per day for groups up to 30 people would be charged for the Sawmill Creek Group Picnic Shelter. An expanded amenity recreation fee of $35 per night would be charged for rental of Deer Mountain Shelter Cabin, and an expanded amenity recreation fee of $75 per night would be charged for rental of Signal Creek Cabin. A new season pass costing $80 per person would be offered for Fish Creek Wildlife Observation Site.

Expenditures from recreation fee revenues collected at the new recreation fee sites would enhance recreation opportunities, improve customer service, and address maintenance needs. Reservations for the campgrounds and cabins at the new recreation fee sites could be made online at www.recreation.gov or by calling 877-444-6777. Reservations would cost $8.00 per reservation.
