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

AGENCY: Caribou-Targhee National Forest, USDA Forest Service.

ACTION: Notice of New Fee Site.

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

SUMMARY: The Montpelier Ranger District of the Caribou-Targhee National 
Forest will begin charging a $10 fee for single family overnight 
camping at the Beaver Creek Campground. There will also be a $5 fee for 
an extra vehicle. Overnight camping at other campgrounds on the 
Caribou-Targhee National Forest have shown that publics appreciate and 
enjoy the availability of developed recreation facilities. Funds from 
the fee charges will be used for the continued operation and 
maintenance of the Beaver Creek Campground.

DATES: Beaver Creek Campground will become available for overnight 
camping on June 15, 2007 (weather permitting).

ADDRESSES: Forest Supervisor, Caribou-Targhee National Forest, 1405 
Hollipark Dr., Idaho Falls, Idaho 83401.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Maury Young, Recreation Technician, 
208-847-0375.

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.
    The Montpelier Ranger District of the Caribou-Targhee National 
Forest currently has 10 other fee campgrounds. These facilities are in 
close proximity to Bear Lake, a large body of water located on the 
border of Idaho and Utah. This area offers significant recreational 
opportunities and is rich in historical and cultural importance. A 
market analysis indicates that the $10/per night single family camping 
fee is both reasonable and acceptable for this sort of unique 
recreation experience.

    Dated: November 17, 2006.
Cheryl Bainbridge,
Acting Caribou-Targhee National Forest Supervisor.
