Proposed Fee of $10 per night
    These fees are only proposed and will be determined upon further 
analysis and public comment.

DATES: Send any comments about these fee proposals by September 4, 2018 
so comments can be compiled, analyzed, and shared with the Western 
Montana (or North-Central for Hay Canyon Campground) Bureau of Land 
Management (BLM) Recreation Resource Advisory Committees. The proposed 
effective date of implementation of proposed new fees will be no 
earlier than six months after publication of this notice.

also be found on the Helena--Lewis & Clark National Forest website at 
http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/helena.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act 
(Title VII, P.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.
    Once public involvement is complete, these new fees will be 
reviewed by the BLM Western or North Central Montana Recreation 
Resource Advisory Committees (depending on site location) prior to a 
final decision and implementation.
    Reasonable fees, paid by users of these sites and services, will 
help ensure that the Forest can continue maintaining and improving the 
sites for future generations. A market analysis of surrounding 
recreation sites with similar amenities indicates that the proposed 
fees are comparable and reasonable.
    Advance reservations for the Indian Meadows, Mergenthaler, and 
Nevada Creek Cabins and the Quigley Group Campground will be available 
through www.recreation.gov or by calling 1-877-444-6777. The 
reservation service charges a $10 fee for reservations.

    Dated: January 10, 2018.
Chris French,
Associate Deputy Chief, National Forest System.
