Notice of Proposed New Fee Sites; Federal Lands Recreation 
Enhancement Act

AGENCY: Caribou-Targhee National Forest, USDA, Forest Service.

ACTION: Notice New Fee Site.

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

SUMMARY: The Caribou-Targhee National Forest is proposing to begin 
charging fees at the Al Taylor Cabin. Facilities at the site have 
recently been reconstructed and amenities have been added to improve 
services and experiences. Fees are assessed based on the level of 
amenities and services provided, cost of operation and maintenance, 
market assessment, and public comment. Funds from fees would be used 
for the continued operation and maintenance of these recreation sites.
    The Al Taylor cabin recently came into Forest Service ownership. It 
is located approximately 35 miles NE of Dubois, Idaho and 10 miles NW 
of Kilgore, Idaho. Access is via a gravel 2WD road. The proposed fee 
would be $35.00 per night and the cabin will accommodate 5-8 people.

DATES: Send any comments about these fee proposals by March 15, 2013 so 
comments can be compiled, analyzed and shared with a Recreation 
Resource Advisory Committee. New fees would begin after April 2013.

ADDRESSES: Brent Larson, Forest Supervisor, Caribou-Targhee National 
Forest, 1405 Hollipark Drive, Idaho Falls, Idaho 83401.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brent Porter, Recreation Program 
Coordinator, (208-524-7500) or email at [email protected]. 
Information about proposed fee changes can also be found on the

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.
