  • Start Preamble

    AGENCY:

    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 Start Printed Page 38006assessed 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.
