L. 116–9) requires that the Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the Chief of the Forest Service, provide public notice and comment before permanently or temporarily closing any National Forest System lands to hunting, fishing, or recreational shooting. Section 4103 applies to the proposed forest order closing areas in proximity to canyon roads on the eastern side of the Huachuca Mountains in the vicinity of the City of Sierra Vista, Fort Huachuca, and the communities of Hereford and Palominas, Arizona to recreational shooting, with the exception of hunting under Arizona state law. The public notice and comment process in section 4103(b)(2) requires the Secretary to publish an advance notice of intent, in the Federal Register, of the proposed closure in advance of the public comment period for the closure. This notice meets the PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 50695 requirement to publish a notice of intent in the Federal Register in advance of the public comment period. Following the notice of intent, section 4103(b)(2) requires an opportunity for public comment. Because the proposed forest order would permanently close areas in proximity to canyon roads on the eastern side of the Huachuca Mountains in the vicinity of the City of Sierra Vista, Fort Huachuca, and the communities of Hereford and Palominas, Arizona to recreational shooting, the public comment period must be not less than 60 days.

II. Background and Need for Forest Order This permanent recreational shooting closure is needed to address the potential for significant harm to human health and safety, the threat of wildfire resulting from ricocheting ammunition, as well as harm to wildlife habitat and vegetation resulting from the discharge of firearms in tight canyon areas within the Wildland Urban Interface, specifically, Ash, Lutz, Stump, Hunter, Miller, Carr, and Brown Canyons. Approximately 71,900 people live within close proximity to, or along, the National Forest boundary in the vicinity of these canyons, and this convenient access results in heavy forest use. The area that is proposed for closure to recreational shooting falls generally in multiple sections of Township 23 S., Range 20 E., and comprises all National Forest System lands within a quarter mile of all National Forest System roads (specifically, National Forest System E:\FR\FM\10SEN1.SGM 10SEN1 50696 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 173 / Friday, September 10, 2021 / Notices Roads 5731, 59, 5720, 796, 4794, 367, 56, 4915, 4790, 4789, 368, and 5736), for a total closed area of approximately 5,090 acres, which is the minimum amount of acreage necessary to protect public health and safety.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Advance Notice and Public Comment Procedures

    Section 4103 of the John D. Dingell, Jr., Conservation, Management, 
and Recreation Act (Pub. L. 116-9) requires that the Secretary of 
Agriculture, acting through the Chief of the Forest Service, provide 
public notice and comment before permanently or temporarily closing any 
National Forest System lands to hunting, fishing, or recreational 
shooting. Section 4103 applies to the proposed forest order closing 
areas in proximity to canyon roads on the eastern side of the Huachuca 
Mountains in the vicinity of the City of Sierra Vista, Fort Huachuca, 
and the communities of Hereford and Palominas, Arizona to recreational 
shooting, with the exception of hunting under Arizona state law. The 
public notice and comment process in section 4103(b)(2) requires the 
Secretary to publish an advance notice of intent, in the Federal 
Register, of the proposed closure in advance of the public comment 
period for the closure. This notice meets the requirement to publish a 
notice of intent in the Federal Register in advance of the public 
comment period. Following the notice of intent, section 4103(b)(2) 
requires an opportunity for public comment. Because the proposed forest 
order would permanently close areas in proximity to canyon roads on the 
eastern side of the Huachuca Mountains in the vicinity of the City of 
Sierra Vista, Fort Huachuca, and the communities of Hereford and 
Palominas, Arizona to recreational shooting, the public comment period 
must be not less than 60 days. Beginning on September 17, 2021, the 
Forest Service will accept public comments on the proposed order for 60 
days. The notice of opportunity for public comment will be posted on 
the Coronado National Forest web page at https://www.fs.usda.gov/coronado/ and at the Forest Service's website at www.fs.usda.gov/about-agency/regulations-policies.
    Section 4103(b)(2) requires the Forest Service to respond to public 
comments received on the proposed order before issuing a final order, 
including an explanation of how any significant issues raised by the 
comments were resolved and, if applicable, how resolution of those 
issues affected the proposed order or the justification for the 
proposed order. The response to comments on the proposed order, 
justification for the final order, and the issuance of the final forest 
order will all be posted on the Coronado National Forest web page at 
https://www.fs.usda.gov/coronado/ and at the Forest Service's website 
at www.fs.usda.gov/about-agency/regulations-policies.

    This permanent recreational shooting closure is needed to address 
the potential for significant harm to human health and safety, the 
threat of wildfire resulting from ricocheting ammunition, as well as

firearms in tight canyon areas within the Wildland Urban Interface, 
specifically, Ash, Lutz, Stump, Hunter, Miller, Carr, and Brown

and this convenient access results in heavy forest use. The area that
