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

الملخص

The Caribou-Targhee National Forest is proposing to charge a $35 fee for the overnight (summer use only) rental of Diamond Creek Guard Station. The guard station is used in the winter time as a warming hut but is currently unused during the summer season. Fees are assessed based on the level of amenities and services provided, cost of operations and maintenance, market assessment and public comment. The fee is proposed and will be determined upon further analysis and public comment. To date, an analysis of the cabin shows that the proposed fees are reasonable and typical of similar sites in the area. Rentals of other cabins on the Caribou-Targhee National Forest have shown that publics appreciate and enjoy the availability of historic and other type rental cabins. Funds from fees will be used for the continued operation and maintenance of the Diamond Creek Guard Station.
