Establishment of a New Fee Area at Congaree National Park

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Congaree National Park in South Carolina plans to collect 
expanded amenity recreation fees at the Longleaf Campground and Bluff 
Campground beginning in early 2015. Revenue will be used to cover the 
cost of collections at the campground and for deferred maintenance in 
the park.

DATES: We will begin collecting fees on July 28, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lauren Gurniewicz, Chief of 
Interpretation, Congaree National Park, 100 National Park Road, 
Hopkins, SC 29061; telephone (803) 647-3969; or by email at 
lauren_gurniewicz@nps.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is to comply with Section 804 of 
the Federal Lands Recration Enhancement Act of 2004 (Pub.L. 108-447). 
The act requires agencies to give the public 6 months advance notice of 
the establishment of a new recreation fee area.
    Rates at Longleaf Campground will be $10 per night for an 
individual tent only site with no hook-ups; $20 per night for a group 
tent only site with no hook-ups. Rates at Bluff Campground will be $5 
per night for an individual tent only site with no hook-ups. These fees 
were determined through a comparability study of similar sites in the 
area at Federal, state, and private recreation areas and will only be 
charged at the Longleaf and Bluff campgrounds. In accordance with NPS 
public involvement guidelines, the park engaged numerous individuals, 
organizations, and local, state, and Federal government representatives 
while planning for the implementation of this fee.
