The two-phase temporary closure area is in Pershing County, Nevada, and is necessary for the period of time from July 29, 2018, to October 1, 2018, because of the Burning Man event. The VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:40 Jun 29, 2018 Jkt 244001 event’s activities begin with fencing the site perimeter, Black Rock City setup (July 29 to August 20), followed by the actual event (August 20 to September 4), Black Rock City tear down and cleanup, and final site cleanup (September 4 to October 1). This event is authorized on public land under Special Recreation Permit #NVW03500–18–01. The public temporary closure area comprises about 13 percent of the Black Rock Desert playa. Public access to the other 87 percent of the playa outside the temporary closure area will remain open to dispersed casual use. The event area is fully contained within the Phase 2 temporary closure area. The event area is defined as the portion of the temporary closure area that: (1) Is entirely contained within the event perimeter fence, including 50 feet from the outside of the event perimeter fence; (2) Lies within 25 feet from the outside edge of the event access road; and (3) Includes the entirety of the aircraft parking area outside the event perimeter fence. The temporary closure and restrictions are necessary to provide a safe environment for the the staffs/ volunteers, paid participants and members of the public visiting the Black Rock Desert, and to protect public land resources by addressing law enforcement and public safety concerns associated with the event. The temporary closure and temporary restrictions are also necessary to enable BLM law enforcement personnel to provide for public safety and to protect the public lands as well as to support and assist State and local agencies with enforcement of existing laws. The permitted event takes place within Pershing County, Nevada, a rural county with a small population and a small Sheriff’s Department. Key BLM staff members—including the authorizing officer for the 2018 event, the event incident commander, and the law enforcement operations chief—met with the Pershing County Sheriff and his planning team to coordinate and plan the 2018 event. The Sheriff’s input and comments are incorporated in this temporary closure order. The event attracts up to 70,000 paid participants to a remote, rural area, located more than 90 miles from urban infrastructure and support, including such services as public safety, emergency medical delivery, transportation, and communication. During the event, Black Rock City, the temporary city associated with the event, becomes one of the largest population areas in Nevada. A temporary closure and restrictions order, under the authority of 43 CFR PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 30951 8364.1, is appropriate for a single event. The temporary closure and restrictions are specifically tailored to the time frame that is necessary to provide a safe environment for the public and for participants at the Burning Man event and to protect public land resources while avoiding imposing restrictions that may not be necessary in the area during the remainder of the year. The BLM will post copies of the temporary closure, temporary restrictions, and an associated map in kiosks at access points to the Black Rock Desert playa as well as at the Gerlach Post Office, Bruno’s Restaurant, Empire Store, Black Rock City offices, Friends of Black Rock-High Rock offices, the BLM-Nevada Black Rock Station near Gerlach, and the BLM-California Applegate Field Office. The BLM will also make the materials available on the BLM external web page at: https:// www.blm.gov. In addition to the Nevada Collateral Forfeiture and Bail Schedule as authorized by the United States District Court, District of Nevada and under the authority of Section 303(a) of FLPMA, 43 CFR 8360.0–7 and 43 CFR 8364.1, the BLM will enforce a temporary public closure and the following temporary restrictions will apply within and adjacent to the Burning Man event on the Black Rock Desert playa from July 29, 2018, through October 1, 2018: Temporary Restrictions (a) Environmental Resource Management and Protection (1) No person may deface, disturb, remove or destroy any natural object.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The temporary closure and temporary 
restrictions affect public lands within and adjacent to the Burning Man 
event permitted on the Black Rock Desert playa within the Black Rock 
Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area in 
Pershing County, Nevada. The temporary closure of public lands will be 
conducted in two phases in order to limit impacts on the general public 
outside of the Burning Man event. Phase 1 will encompass a smaller 
temporary closure area during the building and tear-down of Black Rock 
City and Phase 2 will encompass the larger, full temporary closure area 
during the event itself. Phase 2 includes all of the Phase 1 area. The 
Phase 2 temporary closure is the same size as the temporary closure 
area for the Burning Man event in previous years.
    The legal description of the affected public lands in the temporary 
public closure area of both stages is Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada:
    Phase 1, being the smaller area of 9,715 acres, will be effective 
for 22 days before the main event from 12:01 a.m. Sunday, July 29, 
2018, until 6 a.m. Monday, August 20, 2018. Phase 1 resumes for 23 days 
following the event at 6 a.m. Saturday, September 8, 2018, through 
12:01 a.m. Monday, October 1, 2018.

    The two-phase temporary closure area is in Pershing County, Nevada, 
and is necessary for the period of time from July 29, 2018, to October 
1, 2018, because of the Burning Man event. The event's activities begin 
with fencing the site perimeter, Black Rock City setup (July 29 to 
August 20), followed by the actual event (August 20 to September 4), 
Black Rock City tear down and cleanup, and final site cleanup 
(September 4 to October 1). This event is authorized on public land 
under Special Recreation Permit #NVW03500-18-01.
    The public temporary closure area comprises about 13 percent of the 
Black Rock Desert playa. Public access to the other 87 percent of the 
playa outside the temporary closure area will remain open to dispersed 
casual use.
    The event area is fully contained within the Phase 2 temporary 
closure area. The event area is defined as the portion of the temporary 
closure area that: (1) Is entirely contained within the event perimeter 
fence, including 50 feet from the outside of the event perimeter fence; 
(2) Lies within 25 feet from the outside edge of the event access road; 
and (3) Includes the entirety of the aircraft parking area outside the 
event perimeter fence.
    The temporary closure and restrictions are necessary to provide a 
safe environment for the the staffs/volunteers, paid participants and 
members of the public visiting the Black Rock Desert, and to protect 
public land resources by addressing law enforcement and public safety 
concerns associated with the event. The temporary closure and temporary 
restrictions are also necessary to enable BLM law enforcement personnel 
to provide for public safety and to protect the public lands as well as 
to support and assist State and local agencies with enforcement of 
existing laws. The permitted event takes place within Pershing County, 
Nevada, a rural county with a small population and a small Sheriff's 
Department. Key BLM staff members--including the authorizing officer 
for the 2018 event, the event incident commander, and the law 
enforcement operations chief--met with the Pershing County Sheriff and 
his planning team to coordinate and plan the 2018 event. The Sheriff's 
input and comments are incorporated in this temporary closure order.
    The event attracts up to 70,000 paid participants to a remote, 
rural area, located more than 90 miles from urban infrastructure and 
support, including such services as public safety, emergency medical 
delivery, transportation, and communication. During the event, Black 
Rock City, the temporary city associated with the event, becomes one of 
the largest population areas in Nevada.
    A temporary closure and restrictions order, under the authority of 
43 CFR 8364.1, is appropriate for a single event. The temporary closure 
and restrictions are specifically tailored to the time frame that is 
necessary to provide a safe environment for the public and for 
participants at the Burning Man event and to protect public land 
resources while avoiding imposing restrictions that may not be 
necessary in the area during the remainder of the year.
    The BLM will post copies of the temporary closure, temporary 
restrictions, and an associated map in kiosks at access points to the 
Black Rock Desert playa as well as at the Gerlach Post Office, Bruno's 
Restaurant, Empire Store, Black Rock City offices, Friends of Black 
Rock-High Rock offices, the BLM-Nevada Black Rock Station near Gerlach, 
and the BLM-California Applegate Field Office. The BLM will also make 
the materials available on the BLM external web page at: https://www.blm.gov.
    In addition to the Nevada Collateral Forfeiture and Bail Schedule 
as authorized by the United States District Court, District of Nevada 
and under the authority of Section 303(a) of FLPMA, 43 CFR 8360.0-7 and 
43 CFR 8364.1, the BLM will enforce a temporary public closure and the 
following temporary restrictions will apply within and adjacent to the 
Burning Man event on the Black Rock Desert playa from July 29, 2018, 
through October 1, 2018:
