to the east of the river and was
established to protect the area’s
naturalness, water-related recreation,
scenic, and visual qualities.
The use of a right-of-way, interagency
or cooperative management agreement
would not adequately constrain nondiscretionary uses that could
irrevocably destroy the area’s scenic and
recreational values.
There are no suitable alternative sites
as the described lands contain the
natural resource and recreation values
in need of protection.
No water rights would be needed to
fulfill the purpose of the requested
withdrawal.

may be examined by contacting Debbie
Bellew, BLM Colorado State Office at
the above address or by telephone at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Springs Fire closure affects public lands
surrounding Skinny Dipper Hot Springs,
near Banks, Idaho, that burned August
5, 2012. The affected public lands
include Lot 3; Section 25, T. 9 N., R.3
E., Boise Meridian, Boise County, Idaho,
containing approximately 41 acres. The
Springs Fire closure is necessary
because there is an increased danger to
the recreating public around the hot
springs due to fire damage, as a result
of the loss of stabilizing vegetation
upstream from the hot springs as
identified in the Springs Fire Emergency
Stabilization and Burned Area
Rehabilitation Plan dated August 28,
2012. Rainfall during the spring season
(April–June) could result in rock falls,
flooding, or debris flows.
Reestablishment of vegetation is
anticipated to occur during this year’s
spring growth, which will significantly
reduce the safety risk.
The BLM will post closure signs at
main access and entry points to the
closed area. The closure notices will
also be posted in the BLM Boise District
office. Maps of the affected areas and
other documents associated with these
closures are available at the BLM Boise
District Office, 3948 Development
Avenue, Boise, Idaho 83705 and on the
BLM–Idaho Web site: https://
www.blm.gov/id/st/en/advisoriesclosures.html.
The BLM will enforce the following
rule within the Springs Fire closure:
Human activity is not allowed within
the closed area.
Exemptions: The following persons
are exempt from this order: 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.
The Springs Fire human use closure
does not apply to normal highway
traffic along the Banks-Lowman
Highway.
Penalties: Any person who violates
the above rule may be tried before a
United States Magistrate and fined, not
to exceed $1,000, imprisoned for no
more than 12 months, or both. Violators
may also be subject to the enhanced
fines provided for in 18 U.S.C. 3571.
Authority: 43 CFR 8360.0–7; 43 CFR
8364.1.

Four Rivers Assistant Field Manager.
