AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of new recreation fees. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Lands 

Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA),

new recreation fees to support expanded 

amenities at eight developed recreation 

sites: the Carbella, Crow Creek, Dickie 

Bridge, East Bank, Maiden Rock, Galena 

Gulch, Lower Toston, and Upper Toston 

campgrounds. The BFO is also 

establishing a standard amenity fee 

(day-use) for the Big Hole River 

Corridor, to include the Dickie Bridge, 

Divide Bridge, East Bank, Maiden Rock, 

and Jerry Creek day-use sites. 

DATES: The new fees will take effect on

the United States should use the relay 

services offered within their country to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FLREA directs the Secretary to publish 

a 6-month advance notice in the Federal 

Register whenever new recreation fee 

areas are established. 

Under section 6802(g)(2)(A) and (C) of 

FLREA, developed campgrounds and 

rental cabins qualify as sites wherein 

visitors can be charged an ‘‘Expanded 

Amenity Recreation Fee.’’ 

Pursuant to FLREA and implementing 

regulations at 43 CFR part 2930 subpart 

2933, fees may be charged for overnight 

camping, rental of cabins, and group use 

reservations where specific amenities 

and services are provided. Specific 

visitor fees will be identified and posted 

at each campground, day-use site, or 

rental cabin. 

Under section 6802(f)(4) of FLREA, all 

day-use sites in this notice qualify as 

areas wherein visitors can be charged a 

‘‘Standard Amenity Recreation Fee.’’ 

Pursuant to FLREA and implementing 

regulations at 43 CFR part 2930 subpart 

2933, fees may be charged for an area 

where there are significant 

opportunities for outdoor recreation, 

that has substantial Federal 

investments, where fees can be 

efficiently collected, and that contains 

specific amenities and services. Specific 

visitor fees will be identified and posted 

at each day-use site. 

This notice informs the public that 

the BLM BFO is establishing new 

recreation fees at campgrounds and dayuse site as follows: 

At the Carbella, Dickie Bridge, 

Maiden Rock, and East Bank 

campgrounds, an expanded amenity fee 

of $15 per campsite per night will be 

charged. An expanded amenity 

campground fee of $10 per campsite per 

night will be charged at the Crow Creek, 

Galena Gulch, Lower Toston, and Upper 

Toston campgrounds. 

The BFO also is establishing a 

standard amenity fee (day use) of $5 per 

vehicle per day in the Big Hole River 

Corridor at the Dickie Bridge, Divide 

Bridge, East Bank, Maiden Rock and 

Jerry Creek day-use areas. In addition, 

the BFO is establishing a Big Hole dayuse season pass fee of $20 for the Big 

Hole River day-use sites. 

Campground and day-use fee 

information will be posted at each 

recreation site, available at the BFO, and 

available online through BLM websites 

and/or www.recreation.gov. 

In response to increasing recreation 

demands and visitation on BLM lands, 

the BFO developed a recreation fee 

business plan. The business plan 

reviewed campgrounds and day-use 

sites where new Standard and 

Expanded Amenity Recreation Fees are 

needed to maintain visitor facilities and 

visitor services, replace aging 

infrastructure, and improve access to 

recreational opportunities. The business 

plan explains: (1) consistency with the 

BLM recreation fee program policy; (2) 

the BFO recreation management 

direction; (3) the need for fee collection; 

(4) how the fees will be used at the sites; 

(5) Resource Advisory Council 

coordination; and (6) guidance on future 

fee increases. As analyzed in the 

business plan, the recreation use fees 

are consistent with other nearby Federal 

land management agency fees and are 

lower than the fees charged at privately 

owned campgrounds. The business plan 

is available as listed in the ADDRESSES

section. 

The BLM notified and involved the 

public at each stage of this process. A 

public comment period on the draft 

business plan, announced via seven 

Facebook posts, ran from September 22, 

2023, to November 17, 2023. 

Additionally, the BLM posted hard-copy 

notifications at each potentially affected 

recreation site, notified County 

Commissioners in Broadwater, Gallatin, 

Jefferson, Lewis and Clark, Silver Bow, 

and Park counties as well as 

Congressional staff, and conducted inperson meetings/presentations upon 

request. The BFO also contacted local 

special recreation permit holders who 

might be affected by the new fees. The 

final business plan was recommended 

for approval by the Western Montana 

Resource Advisory Council on 

December 11, 2023.

determinations in this notice are the 

sole responsibility of the San 

Bernardino County Museum, and 

additional information on the 

determinations in this notice, including 

the results of consultation, can be found 

in its inventory or related records. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

Abstract of Information Available 

Human remains representing, at least, 

one individual and three lots of 

associated funerary objects (one lot of 

stone, one lot of ceramics, and one lot 

of bone tools) were removed from a 

roasting pit under the freeway at 

Mountain Pass (also known as Cajon 

Pass) Interstate 15 in 1924, predating 

Caltrans ownership. Field notes state 

that an individual named ‘‘Waite’’ 

excavated the remains in 1924, but the 

collection was not donated to the 

museum until July 31, 1976, by E.L. 

McFarlane, at which point the AFOs 

were given accession numbers (A1361– 

1, A1361–5, A1361–6). 

A preponderance of the evidence 

supports a determination that the 

individuals are Native American, based 

on the artefactual context and skeletal 

taphonomy. Ethnohistoric evidence 

indicates that the area around the Cajon 

Pass was occupied by the Serrano Tribe 

during the prehistoric and protohistoric 

period. This area has traditionally been 

identified as Serrano ancestral territory. 

Serrano tribal leader Santos Manuel 

(namesake of the Yuhaaviatam of San 

Manuel Nation) when being interviewed 

by John P. Harrington in the early 1900s, 

calls the area of Cajon Pass 

‘‘amutskupiat’’, a Serrano space. 

Human remains representing, at least, 

one individual and four lots of 

associated funerary objects (one lot of 

lithic tools, one lot of shell, one lot of 

charcoal, and one lot of faunal remains) 

were removed from archaeological site 

SBCM–39 (CA–SBr–01457). The site is 

situated on Rialto Bench overlooking 

Lytle Creek Wash near the mouth of 

Cajon Canyon. San Bernardino County 

Museum’s first record of the site is from 

1939. Level Report Forms from 

California State Polytechnic University 

Pomona show additional excavation or 

survey continued or restarted in 1982. 

In a preliminary report on the Rialto 

Bench Project written by Julie C 

Wizorek in 1984, it is stated that 

Richard Reynolds of the Page Museum 

and Bob Yohe assisted in identifying 

bone, bone tools, and animal teeth from 

the site. Two human teeth were 

identified as deciduous (or primary) 

teeth. 

A preponderance of the evidence 

supports a determination that the 

individuals are Native American, based 

on the artefactual context and skeletal 

taphonomy. Ethnohistoric evidence 

indicates that the area around the Cajon 

Pass was occupied by the Serrano tribe 

during the prehistoric and protohistoric 

period. This area has traditionally been 

identified as Serrano ancestral territory. 

Serrano tribal leader Santos Manuel 

(namesake of the Yuhaaviatam of San 

Manuel Nation) when being interviewed 

by John P. Harrington in the early 1900s, 

identified two Serrano villages in the 

vicinity. Papiambit, located on the edge 

of Lytle Creek and Apuritaimbit, 

southeast along Lytle Creek Wash. 

Cultural Affiliation 

Based on the information available 

and the results of consultation, cultural 

affiliation is reasonably identified by the 

geographical location or acquisition 

history of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects described in 

this notice. 

Determinations 

The San Bernardino County Museum 

has determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of two individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The seven lots described in this 

notice are reasonably believed to have 

been placed intentionally with or near 

individual human remains at the time of 

death or later as part of the death rite 

or ceremony. 

• There is a connection between the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects described in this notice and the 

Morongo Band of Mission Indians, 

California and the Yuhaaviatam of San 

Manuel Nation (previously listed as San 

Manuel Band of Mission Indians, 

California). 

Requests for Repatriation 

Written requests for repatriation of the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects in this notice must be sent to the 

authorized representative identified in 

this notice under ADDRESSES. Requests 

for repatriation may be submitted by: 

1. Any one or more of the Indian 

Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations 

identified in this notice. 

2. Any lineal descendant, Indian 

Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization 

not identified in this notice who shows, 

by a preponderance of the evidence, that 

the requestor is a lineal descendant or 

an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization with cultural affiliation. 

Repatriation of the human remains 

and associated funerary objects 

described in this notice to a requestor 

may occur on or after December 16, 

2024. If competing requests for 

repatriation are received, the San 

Bernardino County Museum must 

determine the most appropriate 

requestor prior to repatriation. Requests 

for joint repatriation of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

are considered a single request and not 

competing requests. The San Bernardino 

County Museum is responsible for 

sending a copy of this notice to the 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations identified in this notice.
