ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Begich, Boggs Visitor
Center, located within the Chugach
National Forest in Alaska will change
the fee it charges after consideration of
public comments. New fees are to begin
on Memorial Day Weekend 2008. The
increased fee that it collects will help to
make up the shortfall in operations and
maintenance costs that it is
experiencing due to declining Federal
budgets and a change in fee authority.
The expanded fee program will allow
the visitor center to reopen its doors to
the public on weekends from October
through May, and to offer interpretive
presentations to the public during the
summer months, as well as upkeep the
center and its exhibits and audio-visual
programs and equipment. We are also
planning to charge facility use fees, as
outlined in our ‘‘Amended Business and
Communication Plan 2007,’’ for special
use of the visitor center. As a result we
are also seeking input from the public
on the fee structure for special facility

use during the same comment period.
The special facility use fees will be a
part of the amended Recreation Fee
structure for the Begich, Boggs Visitor
Center and help us to meet our
operation and maintenance needs.
Currently the only fee charged at the
center is a fee for the movie ‘‘Voices
From the Ice.’’ The fee is currently $1
per person (age 16 and older). Starting
on Memorial Day Weekend 2008, we
propose to charge a higher fee to all
visitors (age 16 and older). The
expanded fee will allow these visitors to
see the movie, visit the exhibits and
participate in any of our interpretive
walks and presentations offered. Those
people who do not pay for this
expanded standard amenity fee will be
able to use the restrooms, shop in the
Alaska Natural History Association
bookstore or ask questions of our staff at
the front desk.
DATES: Please submit comments on or
before January 2, 2008.
