Visitor Use The Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) (43 U.S.C. 1701–1787) establishes the BLM’s multiple use and sustained yield mandate. In managing the public lands in accordance with FLPMA, the BLM occasionally issues temporary closure and restriction orders under 43 CFR 8364.1 to protect persons, property, public lands, and resources. The need to temporarily close or restrict the use of public land arises in various situations, for example where a recreation site requires routine maintenance or where construction or heavy visitor use is causing erosion or the creation of unauthorized trails, or when an unforeseen event warrants agency action. As resource uses and demands for access to public lands have increased, the need for the BLM to issue temporary closure and restriction orders to protect persons, property, and the public lands and their resources has also increased. 2.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Riparian and wetland areas, lakes, streams, and aquifers on public lands managed by the BLM are among the most important, productive, and diverse resources in the Nation, providing sustained value to the American public. They provide habitat for myriad species of plants, fish, and wildlife; provide ecosystem services such as drinking water, pollination, and nutrient cycling; attenuate effects of wildfires, floods, and drought; and are key to the vitality of local economies and communities. BLM-managed lands include approximately 4,600 square miles of lakes and reservoirs, over 155,000 miles of streams and rivers, and over 20,000 square miles of wetlands and riparian areas.
