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 and proposed special recreation permits. 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 site.

A proposed expanded amenity recreation fee of $60 per night for groups up to 20 people would be charged for CCC Group Campground.

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 site and proposed recreation fee will be reviewed by a Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and implementation. Reservations for campgrounds and cabins could be made online at www.recreation.gov or by calling (877) 444-6777. Reservations would cost $8.00 per reservation.
