ACTION: Notice of New Fee Site.

SUMMARY: The Bighorn National Forest, Powder River Ranger District, is
proposing to charge a $10.00 per vehicle fee (Standard Amenity
Recreation Fee) for use of the site amenities at West Tensleep
Trailhead. All of the amenities are in place except for trash pickup.
This amenity would be in place prior to fee implementation. This
trailhead is the most heavily visited access point for the Cloud Peak
Wilderness on the Bighorn National Forest. Funds from the fee will be
used for the continued operation and maintenance of this site
including, but not limited to: restroom cleaning and maintenance, trash
pickup, sign maintenance, and law enforcement presence.
DATES: If this proposal is approved fee collection would begin in the
summer of 2010. Send any comments about these fee proposals by February
28, 2010 so

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Craig Cope, Powder River Ranger
District Recreation Staff Office, 307-684-7806.
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. The Bighorn National Forest
currently does not charge a fee at this location. The need for Standard
Amenity Fees at West Tensleep Trailhead was identified during the
Recreation Facility Analysis process completed in June 2008 and is
proposed to be $10.00 per vehicle. All requirements for the collection
of fees as stipulated in the Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act
will be met for this site prior to fee implementation. Comments may be
submitted to ``[email protected]'' with ``West Tensleep
Trailhead Fee Proposal'' in the subject line.
