Notice of New Fee Site

AGENCY: Monongahela National Forest, USDA Forest Service.

ACTION: Notice of New Fee Site.

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

SUMMARY: The Monongahela National Forest is proposing to charge $10.00 
per night for single unit sites and $20.00 per night for double unit 
sites at Island Campground on the Greenbrier Ranger District. The 
Forest recently finished reconstruction of Island Campground which 
included relocating and upgrading the campground to provide a safe, 
fully accessible, 12-unit campground. Prior to reconstruction, this was 
a small, primitive campground with very few amenities. Fees for 
overnight use will be used for the continued operation and maintenance 
of Island Campground.

DATES: Send any comments about this fee proposal by November 1, 2013 so 
comments can be compiled, analyzed and shared with the Eastern Region 
Recreation Resource Advisory Committee.

ADDRESSES: Forest Supervisor, Monongahela National Forest, 200 Sycamore 
Street, Elkins, WV 26241.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eric Sandeno, Recreation Program 
Manager, 304-636-1800.

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.
    This new fee will be reviewed by the Eastern Region Recreation 
Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and 
implementation by the Regional Forester, Eastern Region, USDA Forest 
Service.
    The Monongahela National Forest made upgrades to Island Campground 
based on public input and support. A market comparison indicates that 
the $10.00 per night for single unit sites and $20.00 per night for 
double unit sites is both reasonable and acceptable for this sort of 
recreation experience.

    Authority: Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, (Title 
VIII, Pub. L. 108-447).
