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

AGENCY: Ashley National Forest, USDA Forest Service.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed New Fee Site.

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

SUMMARY: The Ashley National Forest is proposing to offer several Guard 
Stations (cabins) and associated facilities as recreation rentals. Fees 
are

[[Page 38006]]

assessed based on the level of amenities and services provided, cost of 
operations and maintenance, market assessment, price consistency 
throughout Forest 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 of these 
structures.
    The cabins and proposed summer rental prices are Rock Creek 
Administrative Cabin for $100.00 per night, Moon Lake Guard Station for 
$60.00 per night, and Yellowstone Guard Station and Bunkhouse for 
$80.00 per night. Rock Creek will also be available in the winter.
    These cabins are no longer needed for administrative purposes, and 
are proposed to be put in service in the Forest Service Cabin Rental 
Program. The cabins will help meet the demand for rentals in remote 
areas, and fees collected will help to maintain the structures into the 
future.
    An analysis of each cabin's features show that the proposed fees 
are reasonable and typical of similar sites in the area.

DATES: Comments will be accepted through September 30, 2014. New fees 
would begin May 2015.

ADDRESSES: John Erickson, Forest Supervisor, Ashley National Forest, 
335 North Vernal Avenue, Vernal, Utah 84078.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy Paulin, 435-789-5160. 
Information about proposed fee changes can also be found on the 
Intermountain Region Web site: http://www.fs.fed.us/r4/recreation/rac/index.shtml.

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: June 24, 2014.

Acting Forest Supervisor.
