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

AGENCY: Payette National Forest, Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed New Fee Site.

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

SUMMARY: The Payette National Forest is proposing to charge a $85 fee 
at Burgdorf Rental Cabin from June 1 to October 15 and a $65 fee from 
October 16 to June 1 with no water available; a $65 fee at the Paddy 
Flat Rental Cabin; and a $65 fee at the Lake Fork Rental Cabin. Fees 
are assessed based on the level of amenities and services provided, 
cost of operations and maintenance, and market assessment. The fee is 
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 these rental cabins.
    An analysis of the nearby private rental cabins with similar 
amenities shows that the proposed fees are reasonable and typical of 
similar sites in the area.

DATES: Comments will be accepted through March 30, 2013. New fees would 
begin July 2013.

ADDRESSES: Keith Lannom, Forest Supervisor, Payette National Forest, 
800 West Lakeside Avenue, McCall, Idaho 83638.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jane Cropp, Recreation Fee 
Coordinator, 208-634-0757. Information about proposed fee changes can 
also be found on the Payette National Forest Web site: http://www.fs.usda.gov/payette.

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.

    Dated: October 2, 2012.

Forest Supervisor, Payette National Forest.
