SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM published its original closure 
notice in the Federal Register on June 28, 2010 (76 FR 36677). The Las

acre parcel. Casual use is defined as any short-term, non-commercial 
activity which does not noticeably damage or disturb the public land, 
resources, or improvements. Closure of this parcel is a consequence of 
unsafe conditions related to past mining resulting in steep highwalls 
in excess of 150 feet, abrupt precipices and ledges, and loose 
unconsolidated walls of rock.
    2. This closure does not affect the ability of local, State, or 
Federal officials in the performance of their duties in the area.

actions are taken to protect public health and safety.
    The Las Cruces District Office has completed Environmental 
Assessment (EA) (DOI-BLM-NM-LCDO-2010-0086-EA) to close the pit to 
public use, evaluating the potential reclamation of the site, and 
analyzing the hazards to public health and safety until such time as 
reclamation of the site would be completed, or for 2 years, whichever 
is later.
    Copies of this closure order and maps showing the location are 
available from the Las Cruces District Office, 1800 Marquess Street,
