Notice of New Recreation Fees; Federal Lands Recreation
Enhancement Act, (Title VIII, Pub. L. 108-447)
AGENCY: Manti-La Sal National Forest, Forest Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice of New Recreation Fees.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Manti-La Sal National Forest is proposing to add the
Orange Olsen Administrative Site facilities into the recreation rental
program. The facilities proposed for the recreation rental program
include: (1) Orange Olsen Dwelling and (2) Orange Olsen Bunkhouse with
four trailer pads. The proposal is to charge $60.00 per night at the
Dwelling and $40.00 per night at the Bunkhouse. The fee for the
Bunkhouse would also include four trailer pads with water and sewer
hookups. Visitors will have the option of reserving the Dwelling or the
Bunkhouse separately, or the entire site. Fees are assessed based on
the level of amenities and services provided, cost of operation and
maintenance, and market comparison. Funds from fees would be retained
locally and used for the operations and maintenance, and future
improvements including historical information on the cabins.
The Orange Olsen Dwelling has a front room, two bedrooms (sleeping
up to six people), kitchen, and bathroom with shower. An accessible
ramp provides entrance to the back door of the facility. The Orange
Olsen Bunkhouse has a combination kitchen/bedroom (sleeping up to four
people), bathroom with shower, and four trailer pads with water and
sewer hookups. Both of the buildings have photovoltaic (solar)
lighting, propane fueled appliances, water, and sewer.
DATES: Send any comments about these fee proposals by December 31, 2013
so comments can be compiled, analyzed and shared with the Utah Bureau
of Land Management Recreation Resource Advisory Committee (RRAC). If
this fee proposal is approved, it is anticipated that the Orange Olsen
Administrative Site facilities would become available for overnight
rental in the summer of 2014.
