Havasu Field Office website: https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 6, 2015, the Decision Record 

authorizing the BITD Parker Races SRP 

was signed. This permit authorizes the 

BITD to utilize the Parker 400 course for 

the Parker 425 race event on January 13 

through 16, 2021, and for the Parker 250 

race event on February 18 through 20, 

2021. The permit is authorized from 

2015 through 2024. The Environmental 

Assessment analyzing these routes (EA 

#DOI–BLM–AZ–C030–2014–0040) 

concluded that allowing permitted 

motorized racers exclusive use of the 

Lake Havasu Field Office Record of 

Decision/Approved Resource 

Management Plan (2007) designated 

Parker 400 course would mitigate safety 

concerns. These routes receive the most 

intense and concentrated high-speed 

use during the two annual permitted 

events. 

These temporary closures and 

restrictions affect public lands in and 

around the Parker 400 course near the 

communities of Parker and Bouse in La 

Paz County, Arizona. The temporary 

restriction areas are shown on the maps 

entitled ‘‘Parker 425 Map’’ and ‘‘Parker 

250 Map’’ found at http://go.usa.gov/ 

xfF8u. 

The temporary closures and 

restrictions are necessary because of the 

high-speed nature of the race event and 

the added safety concerns due to limited 

visibility when there is no daylight. 

Roads leading into the public lands 

under the temporary closure and 

restrictions will be posted with copies 

of the temporary closure, temporary 

restrictions, and associated maps to 

notify the public. The temporary closure 

and restriction orders will be posted in 

the Lake Havasu Field Office and online 

at https://www.blm.gov/office/lakehavasu-field-office. Maps of the affected 

area and other documents associated 

with this temporary closure are 

available at the Lake Havasu Field 

Office, 1785 Kiowa Avenue, Lake 

Havasu City, Arizona. 

The closures and restrictions are 

issued under the authority of 43 CFR 

8364.1, which allows the BLM to 

establish closures for the protection of 

persons, property, and public lands and 

resources. The closure and restrictions 

listed below are exactly the same as 

those published last year found at 84 FR 

71458. Violation of any of the terms, 

conditions, or restrictions contained 

within this closure order may subject 

the violator to citation or arrest with a 

penalty or fine or imprisonment or both 

as specified by law.
