SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Stout
Fire closure affects public lands burned
July 11–14, 2012, by the Stout Fire, 10
miles northeast of Mountain Home,
Idaho. According to the Stout Fire
Temporary Motorized Use Closure Area
map dated November 13, 2012, and
located in the Boise District BLM Office,
the affected public lands include:
Portions of section 25, T. 2 S., R. 7 E.;
portions of sections 19, 20, 21, 25, 26,
27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35, T.
2 S., R. 8 E.; portions of sections 30 and
31, T. 2 S., R. 9 E.; portions of sections
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 24 and
25, T. 3 S., R. 8 E.; and portions of
sections 6, 7, 17, 18, 19, 20, 28, 29 and
30, T. 3 S., R. 9 E.; Boise Meridian,
Elmore County, Idaho. The area
encompasses approximately 11,994
acres. The Stout Fire closure is intended
to protect critical winter habitat for elk
and mule deer as well as important
year-long sage-grouse habitat. The
closure will help to slow the spread of
noxious weeds; allow planted shrub,
forb, and grass species to become
established; and allow existing plants to
recover. The closure will help ensure
the long-term viability of habitat for
wildlife populations in the area.
Approximately 2,938 acres of the
burned area would be drill seeded with
perennial grass species adapted to the
ecological sites. Approximately 3,000
acres will be broadcast seeded with
sagebrush using aerial application
methods. The burned areas will be
closed to livestock use until resource
objectives have been achieved.
Approximately 7,841 acres will be
broadcast seeded with sagebrush using
aerial application methods.
Approximately 50,000 seedlings (40,000
bitterbrush, 10,000 sagebrush) a year for
3 years will be planted in strategic
locations in the burned area to provide
multiple age classes of shrubs in the
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
burned area. Accessible areas of the
burned area will be closed to motorized
recreational vehicles while the soil and
vegetation recovers. Noxious weed
inventory and spot herbicide treatment
would occur during the first year
following the fire within the burned
area. Noxious weeds would be treated
with BLM-approved chemicals in
accordance with the Vegetation
Treatments Using Herbicides on Bureau
of Land Management Lands in 17
Western States, approved September 29,
2007 (Vegetation Treatment EIS).
Approximately 12 miles of allotment
and pasture boundary fence burned in
the fire will be repaired to restrict
livestock from the burned area during
recovery and seed establishment and
provide soil stabilization.
The BLM will post closure signs at
gates, main access points, key perimeter
locations and main entry points to the
closed areas. The closure notices will
also be posted in the Boise District BLM
office. Maps of the affected area and
other documents associated with this
closure are available at the Boise District
BLM Office, 3948 Development Avenue,
Boise, ID 83705 and on the BLM-Idaho
Web site https://www.blm.gov/id/st/en/
advisories-closures.html. Copies are also
available at the United States Forest
Service Mountain Home Ranger District
Office, 2180 American Legion Blvd.,
Mountain Home, ID 83647.
The BLM will enforce the following
rule within the Stout Fire closure:
Motorized vehicles must not be used
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.
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
