                SUMMARY: The Forest Service published a document in the Federal
                Register on September 30, 2019, requesting for comments on proposed new
                recreation fees for three recreation sites on the George Washington and
                Jefferson National Forests. The document contained incorrect
                information on the type of fee and features of recreation sites
                required in order to charge that fee type. The Forest Service is
                reopening the comment period. The previous comment period ended on
                October 15, 2019. In addition to comments received under this notice,
                comments previously submitted in response to the notice published
                during the comment period announced September 30, 2019, will be
                considered.
                DATES: Comments on the fee changes will be accepted through December
                10, 2019. The fees will become available pending a recommendation from
                the Southern Region Recreation Resource Advisory Committee. If approved
                by the Regional Forester, implementation of new fees will occur no
                sooner than 180 days from the date of publication in the Federal
                Register.
                ADDRESSES: Written comments concerning this notice should be addressed
                to the Supervisor's Office at: Joby P. Timm, Forest Supervisor, George

                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                 Correction: In the Federal Register of September 30, 2019, in FR
                Doc. 2019-21164, on page 51510, in the first column, correct the fifth
                paragraph to read:
                 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. These sites have all the
                required features to
                [[Page 64827]]
                allow a fee to be charged. Those features include designated parking
                area, permanent toilets, increased patrols, and picnic tables. These
                expanded amenity fee sites will honor all applicable Interagency
                Passes.
                 Dated: October 30, 2019.
