Bureau of Land Management August 17, 2020 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In accordance with the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 and the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972, the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board (Advisory Board) will hold a virtual public meeting due to public health restrictions.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing supplementary rules on selected public lands administered by the Hassayampa and Lower Sonoran Field Offices. These rules are needed in order to protect public health and safety and to reduce user conflicts within developed recreation areas (or sites), including recreational shooting sports sites. In compliance with the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act (Dingell Act), notice is hereby given that for public safety, one of the proposed supplementary rules would close public lands within the designated Hazardous Exclusion Area at each recreational shooting sports site to public entry, including entry for hunting, fishing, and recreational shooting activities. These proposed closures are necessary to ensure public safety adjacent to shooting facilities.
