SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
The Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act (Title VII, Pub. L. 108447) directed the Secretary of Agriculture to publish a six month advance notice in the Federal Register whenever new recreation fee areas are established. This new fee will be reviewed by a Recreation Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and implementation. The ChattahoocheeOconee National Forests currently has thirtyfive
other campgrounds. These campgrounds have a total of 675 campsites; 23
campgrounds are operated by concessionaires. A business analysis of
Hickey Gap Campground has shown that people desire having this sort of
recreation experience on the ChattahoocheeOconee National Forests. A
market analysis indicates that the $5 per site per night fee is both
reasonable and acceptable for this sort of unique recreation experience.
