Notice was published in the Federal Register on August 1, 2013 (78 FR 46598) and the Business Plan was available for a 6-month comment period. After the comment period closed on March 12, 2014, the RAC unanimously approved the proposed expanded amenity fee schedule. Under the schedule, there is a $5 fee for water hookup, a $5 fee for electric hookup, a $15 fee for using the dump station, and a $25 fee for reserving the group shelter. Overnight camping will remain free of charge. Fee amounts will be posted at a pay station kiosk at the NCA and on the BLM Roswell Field Office Web site.
