**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. This new fee will be reviewed by a Recreation Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and implementation.
The Ochoco National Forest currently has two other campgrounds on the Crooked River National Grassland District. These campgrounds are often occupied throughout their open season. A business analysis of Skull Hollow has shown that people desire having this sort of recreation experience on the Ochoco National Forest. A market analysis indicates that the $8/per night fee and $4.00 additional vehicle is both reasonable and acceptable for this sort of campground.
People wanting to camp at Skull Hollow will need to do so through a first come first serve. This campground is not on the National Recreation Reservation Service, at *http://www.reserveusa.com.*
