Notice To Establish a New Recreation Fee Area on Public Lands 
Managed by the Salmon Field Office, Idaho

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act 
(FLREA), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Salmon Field Office will 
establish a fee program for a reservable rental cabin known as Tarpons 
Roost, constructed on the Continental Divide near Lemhi Pass, in Lemhi 
County, Idaho.

DATES: Starting July 17, 2025, the BLM will have the option to initiate 
the proposed fees unless the BLM publishes a Federal Register notice to 
the contrary.

ADDRESSES: Copies of relevant supporting documents for this action may 
be reviewed at the BLM Salmon Field Office, 1206 South Challis St., 
Salmon, ID 83467; or the BLM Idaho Falls District Office, 1405 
Hollipark Drive, Idaho Falls, ID 83401 and online at: https://on.doi.gov/3qfe3I0.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Travis Seaberg, outdoor recreation 
planner, BLM Salmon Field Office, email: [email protected]; 
telephone: (208) 756-5400. Individuals in the United States who are 
deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 
711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay 
services. Individuals outside the United States should use the relay 
services offered within their country to make international calls to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM is committed to provide and receive 
fair value for the use of developed recreation facilities and services 
in a manner that meets public use demands, provides quality 
experiences, and protects important resources. The BLM's policy is to 
collect fees at specialized recreation sites, or where the BLM provides 
facilities, equipment, or services, at Federal expense, in connection 
with outdoor use. To meet anticipated demands for services and 
maintenance at Tarpons Roost, the BLM will establish a fee program for 
cabin facility use. This fee will be used for the maintenance and 
yearly operations cost of Tarpons Roost. Starting July 17, 2025,

the BLM will initiate the approved $75 per night expanded amenity fee.
    The FLREA directs the Secretary of the Interior and Secretary of 
Agriculture to publish an advance notice in the Federal Register 
whenever new recreation fee areas are established under their 
respective jurisdictions. In accordance with BLM policy, the Salmon 
Field Office Recreation Fee Sites Business Plan explains the fee 
collection process and how fees will be used at this site. The BLM 
Idaho Resource Advisory Council, functioning as a Recreation Resource 
Advisory Committee, reviewed and concurred with the proposal to charge 
fees at Tarpons Roost in May 2024, following the FLREA guidelines. Fee 
amounts will be posted on-site and at the BLM Salmon Field Office. 
Copies of the business plan will be available at the BLM Salmon Field 
Office and BLM Idaho Falls District Office as listed in the ADDRESSES 
section. Any future adjustments in the fee amount will be made 
following the Salmon Field Office Recreation Fee Sites Business Plan 
and after consultation with the BLM Idaho Resource Advisory Council and 
other public notice.
    Tarpons Roost was analyzed and approved in the 2018 Continental 
Divide Trail Cabin Environmental Assessment (DOI-BLM-ID-I040-2012-0034-
EA) and subsequent Record of Decision, available at https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/33052/510. Recreation use fees 
would be consistent with other established fee sites in the area 
managed by the BLM and other Federal and State land management 
agencies.
