The temporary closure areas encompass 26,813 acres, more or less. This temporary closure will limit public access to protect persons, property, public lands and public land resources. The closure will ensure the safety and welfare of the public, contractors, and government employees, and provide for the orderly implementation of authorized actions to gather excess wild horses. The PO 00000 Frm 00054 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 39705 temporary closure will prevent public access, use, and occupancy during wild horse capture operations scheduled to occur between July 6, 2010, and July 31, 2010. Not all subject lands will be temporarily closed during the entire period. Areas temporarily closed to public access will be posted at main entry points with signs, barricades, if appropriate, and copies of this temporary closure notice. The sites identified for temporary closures are historically used gather sites and holding locations. Some of the sites are on public land and some are on privately owned land. The temporary closures will be in effect only on public lands. The public will be authorized to use those areas where capture operations are not in progress. Areas from which the public will be temporarily excluded will be dependent upon the actual area of operation which will vary according to the needs of the contractor. The gather operation includes the authorized use of lowflying aircraft to herd and capture wild horses from various portions of the Owyhee, Rock Creek and Little Humboldt Wild Horse HMAs and adjacent public and private lands outside of the established boundaries of the identified HMAs. In order to operate the aircraft in a safe and effective manner, and based on experience gained from previous gathers, it is necessary to temporarily close the affected areas (gathering and temporary holding facilities) to all public use during actual capture operations. It is anticipated that the gather operation will take approximately 15–20 days, but could last up to 26 days depending on weather, location of herds, success of capture operations, and other variable conditions. Maps of the affected area and other documents associated with this temporary closure are available at the Tuscarora Field Office, 3900 E. Idaho Street, Elko, NV 89801 and at the BLM Elko Web site at https:// www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/fo/ elko_field_office.html. Horses will be held temporarily in holding facilities on public lands within the Owyhee, Rock Creek and Little Humboldt HMAs and on adjacent private lands until July 31, 2010, for day-to-day care, veterinary treatment, and preparation for transport to BLM adoption preparation and holding facilities in Nevada and Utah. The temporary closures may be rescinded prior to July 31, 2010, if gather operations are successfully completed before that date.

    The temporary closure areas encompass 26,813 acres, more or 
less.

    This temporary closure will limit public access to protect persons, 
property, public lands and public land resources. The closure will 
ensure the safety and welfare of the public, contractors, and 
government employees, and provide for the orderly implementation of 
authorized actions to gather excess wild horses. The temporary closure 
will prevent public access, use, and occupancy during wild horse 
capture operations scheduled to occur between July 6, 2010, and July 
31, 2010.
    Not all subject lands will be temporarily closed during the entire 
period. Areas temporarily closed to public access will be posted at 
main entry points with signs, barricades, if appropriate, and copies of 
this temporary closure notice. The sites identified for temporary 
closures are historically used gather sites and holding locations. Some 
of the sites are on public land and some are on privately owned land. 
The temporary closures will be in effect only on public lands. The 
public will be authorized to use those areas where capture operations 
are not in progress. Areas from which the public will be temporarily 
excluded will be dependent upon the actual area of operation which will 
vary according to the needs of the contractor. The gather operation 
includes the authorized use of low-flying aircraft to herd and capture 
wild horses from various portions of the Owyhee, Rock Creek and Little 
Humboldt Wild Horse HMAs and adjacent public and private lands outside 
of the established boundaries of the identified HMAs. In order to 
operate the aircraft in a safe and effective manner, and based on 
experience gained from previous gathers, it is necessary to temporarily 
close the affected areas (gathering and temporary holding facilities) 
to all public use during actual capture operations. It is anticipated 
that the gather operation will take approximately 15-20 days, but could 
last up to 26 days depending on weather, location of herds, success of 
capture operations, and other variable conditions. Maps of the affected 
area and other documents associated with this temporary closure are 
available at the Tuscarora Field Office, 3900 E. Idaho Street, Elko, NV 
89801 and at the BLM Elko Web site at https://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/fo/elko_field_office.html.
    Horses will be held temporarily in holding facilities on public 
lands within the Owyhee, Rock Creek and Little Humboldt HMAs and on 
adjacent private lands until July 31, 2010, for day-to-day care, 
veterinary treatment, and preparation for transport to BLM adoption 
preparation and holding facilities in Nevada and Utah.
    The temporary closures may be rescinded prior to July 31, 2010, if 
gather operations are successfully completed before that date. On 
specifically scheduled and escorted visitation days, the public and 
media

[[Page 39706]]

will be allowed to view the gather operations as well as the horses 
being temporarily held prior to release or being transported to BLM 
adoption preparation and holding facilities.
    Further information may be obtained from the Owyhee, Rock Creek, 
and Little Humboldt Herd Management Areas Gather Plan and Environmental

Elko, NV 89801, and is available on the BLM Elko District Web site at 
https://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/fo/elko_field_office.html. This Notice 
will be posted in the local BLM office with jurisdiction over the lands 
to which the order applies (43 CFR 8364.1(b)(5)).
    Penalties: In accordance with Section 303(a) of the Federal Land 
Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1733(a)) and 43 CFR 
8360.0-7, the BLM will enforce the temporary closures on public lands 
in Northwestern Elko County, Nevada.
    The following persons are exempt from this temporary closure: 
Federal, state, and local officers and employees in the performance of 
their official duties; members of organized rescue or fire-fighting 
forces in the performance of their official duties; and persons with 
written authorization from the BLM.
    A person who violates the above order may be tried before a United 
States Magistrate and fined no more than $1,000, imprisoned for no more 
than 12 months, or both. Such violations may also be subject to the 
enhanced fines provided for by 18 U.S.C. 3571.
