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. Once public involvement is complete, these new fees will be reviewed by the BLM North Central Montana Recreation Resource Advisory Council 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 AT&T Cabin will be available through www.recreation.gov or by calling 1-877-444-6777. The reservation service charge is $8 for reservations.
