Notice of Proposed New Fee Sites; 

Federal Lands Recreation 

Enhancement Act 

AGENCY: Forest Service. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee 

sites. 

SUMMARY: The National Forests in 

Florida are proposing to charge new fees 

at four campgrounds for $10 per night 

and one day use area for $5 per vehicle. 

All sites have recently been 

reconstructed, or amenities are being 

added to improve services and 

experiences. Fees are assessed based on 

the level of amenities and services 

provided, cost of operation and 

maintenance, market assessment, and 

public comment. Funds from fees would 

be used for the continued operation and 

maintenance of these recreation sites. 

DATES: Send any comments about these 

fee proposals by August 6, 2018 so 

comments can be compiled, analyzed 

and shared with a Recreation Resource 

Advisory Committee. New fees would 

begin after July 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Kelly Russell, Forest 

Supervisor, National Forests in Florida, 

325 John Knox Road, Suite F–100, 

Tallahassee, FL 32303. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Erika Davis, Recreation, Heritage, 

Engineering, Lands & Minerals Staff 

Officer, 850–523–8569. Information 

about proposed fee changes can also be 

found on the National Forests in Florida 

website: http://www.fs.usda.gov/florida. 

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 campgrounds proposed for new 

fees are: 

• Wood Lake Campground and Boat 

Landing on the Apalachicola National 

Forest. 

• Cobb Camp, West Tower 

Campground, and Wiggins Campground 

on the Osceola National Forest. 

Improvements at these sites include 

designating campsites, installing fire 

rings, picnic tables and adding garbage 

service. Improvements address 

sanitation and safety concerns, as well 

as deteriorating resource conditions and 

recreation experiences. Wood Lake Boat 

Landing is the day use site proposed at 

$5 per vehicle. The America the 

Beautiful, National Parks and Federal 

Recreational Lands passes would be 

accepted at these sites. Once public 

involvement is complete, these new fees 

will be reviewed by a Recreation 

Resource Advisory Committee prior to a 

final decision and implementation.

Notice of Proposed New Fee Sites; 

Federal Lands Recreation 

Enhancement Act 

AGENCY: Francis Marion & Sumter 

National Forests, USDA Forest Service. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee 

sites. 

SUMMARY: The Francis Marion & Sumter 

National Forests in South Carolina are 

proposing to charge new fees at eight 

rifle range facilities: Cedar Creek, Indian 

Creek, Fairforest, Leeds, Philson 

Crossroads, Beaver Dam Creek, Candy 

Branch and Boggy Head Rifle Ranges. 

All sites have recently been 

reconstructed to improve services and 

experiences. The proposed new fees to 

help maintain these sites would be $5 

per person per day or $40 per person 

per year. Fees are assessed based on the 

level of amenities and services 

provided, cost of operation and 

maintenance, market assessment, and 

public comment. 

DATES: Send any comments about these 

fee proposals by August 6, 2018 so 

comments can be compiled, analyzed 

and shared with a Recreation Resource 

Advisory Committee. New fees would 

begin after July 2018. 

ADDRESSES: John Richard Lint, Forest 

Supervisor, Francis Marion & Sumter

Road, Columbia, SC 29212. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joe 

Robles, Recreation Fee Coordinator, 

803–561–4067. Information about 

proposed fee changes can also be found 

on the Francis Marion & Sumter 

National Forests website: http://

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. 

These eight shooting ranges are 

experiencing unprecedented use/ 

demand with the associated impacts to 

the facilities themselves and 

surrounding natural resources. New fees 

would help with enforcing range rules 

to keep the facilities safe and clean; 

maintaining shooting range structures 

(e.g., berms, swales, settling ponds) and 

ground cover (grass) to mitigate runoff 

and pollution; and performing annual 

soil and water testing and lead 

abatement work. Fees would also help 

to improve the facilities with items such 

as better parking facilities, shelter roof 

modifications to incorporate baffles, and 

making enhancements like establishing 

designated pistol ranges. 

Once public involvement is complete, 

these new fees will be reviewed by the 

Southern Region Recreation Resource 

Advisory Committee prior to a final 

decision and implementation.
