Notice of Proposed New Fee Site; Federal Lands Recreation 
Enhancement Act (Title VIII, Pub. L. 108-447)

AGENCY: Manti-La Sal National Forest, USDA Forest Service.

ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee site.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Manti-La Sal National Forest is proposing to charge fees 
at the

[[Page 21584]]

thirty-unit Pioneer Campground and at the Buckeye Group Site within the 
Buckeye Recreation Area Paradox, Colorado. The proposed fee for the 
Pioneer Campground units is $10 per site per night. The proposed fee 
for the Buckeye Group Site that holds up to 50 people is $50 per night. 
There are 19 other single units, 4 double units and a 5 unit day use 
area also located within the Buckeye Recreation Area that will be free 
to the public and on a first come basis. Fees are assessed based on the 
level of amenities and services provided, cost of operations and 
maintenance, market assessment and public comment. The fees are 
proposed and will be determined upon further analysis and public 
comment. Funds from fees would be used for the continued operation and 
maintenance and improvements of Pioneer Campground and the Buckeye 
Group Site.
    Improvements planned include fire rings, picnic tables, serving 
tables, utility tables, information bulletins, fencing, improved roads 
and a host site. These actions address sanitation and safety concerns 
and improve deteriorating vegetation and conditions at the campgrounds. 
Finally, these actions improve the recreation experience.
    An analysis of the campground shows that the proposed fees are 
reasonable and typical of similar sites in the area.

DATES: Comments will be accepted through October 31, 2010. New fees 
would begin May 2011.

ADDRESSES: Pamela Brown, Forest Supervisor, Manti-La Sal National 
Forest, 599 West Price River Drive, Price, Utah 84501.

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 a Recreation Resource 
Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and implementation.
