The temporary closure area described herein encompasses approximately 54,200 acres in Elmore County, Idaho. The closures are intended to protect critical winter habitat for elk and mule deer as well as important year-long sagegrouse habitat. The motorized vehicle 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 all-entry closure will reduce human disturbance to wintering elk and mule deer. The closures will help ensure the long-term viability of habitat for wildlife populations in the area. The BLM will post closure signs at gates, main access points, key perimeter locations and main entry points to the closed areas. The closure notice 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, Idaho 83705 and on the BLM Idaho Web site https://www.blm.gov/id/ st/en/advisories-closures.html.
