Notice of New Fee Site and Change in Fee Program Structure;
Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (Title VIII, Pub. L. 108-447)
AGENCY: Coconino National Forest, USDA Forest Service, Arizona.
ACTION: Notice of new fee sites and change in fee program structure.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coconino National Forest is proposing to begin charging a
new fee for the following two facilities: Dry Creek Vista Picnic Site
and Fay Canyon Vista and Trailhead. These sites are part of a larger
Red Rock Pass fee proposal. For more details, go to www.fs.usda.gov/coconino.
Dry Creek Vista Picnic Site: This site is located 2 miles northwest
of Sedona, Arizona within the Red Rock Ranger District on Dry Creek
Road. The site is a developed day use picnic site with a toilet, 40
surfaced parking spaces, interpretive kiosk, trash containers, scenic
vista, picnic tables, security patrols, and access to several non-
motorized trails. The site supports a variety of public recreation day
uses. The site is proposed to be included as a fee site within the Red
Rock Pass Fee Program. The charge is $5.00/day.
Fay Canyon Vista and Trailhead: This site is located 3 miles
northwest of Sedona, Arizona within the Red Rock Ranger District on
Boynton Pass Road. The site is a developed day use site with a toilet,
42 surfaced parking spaces, interpretive kiosk, trash containers,
scenic vista, picnic tables, security patrols, and access to the Fay,
Cockscomb and Aerie trails. The site supports a variety of public
recreation day uses. The site is proposed to be included as a fee site
within the Red Rock Pass Fee Program. The charge is $5.00/day.
DATES: Should the fee proposal be approved by the Regional Forester,
these new fees will go into effect no sooner than six months after the
date of publication in the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Address all comments concerning this notice to Forest
Supervisor, Coconino National Forest, 1824 South Thompson Street,
Flagstaff, Arizona 86001.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer Burns, Red Rock District
Recreation Staff Officer, Coconino National Forest, 928-203-7529 or via
email at [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Dry Creek Vista Picnic Site; Fay Canyon
Vista Trailhead. These locations are extremely popular with over 500
visitors per day during spring and fall using the sites for recreation.
The amenities at these sites are critical both for public services and
for resource protection. The general area is rich in archaeological
remains and also has sensitive soils. The developed sites have adequate
amenities to mitigate resource damage which can accompany such high
recreation pressure. The fee revenue will be used to maintain the sites
and provide public security: pump the vault toilet, provide janitorial
service, remove garbage, provide interpretation, repair signs and
parking surfaces and support Forest Service patrols in the area for
visitor assistance and security. Dry Creek site: T.17N., R.5E., Sec. 3,
NE1/4NW1/4N1/2; Fay Canyon site: T.17N., R.5E., Sec.31, GSRBM. These
two new fee proposals are part of a larger fee modification proposal on
the Coconino National Forest.
The full fee proposal can be found on the Coconino (or Red Rock)
National Forest Web site at: http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/coconino/landmanagement/planning.
Dated: September 21, 2015.

Coconino National Forest Supervisor.
