Notice of Proposed Supplementary 

Rules for Public Lands in Colorado: 

Gunnison Gorge National 

Conservation Area (GGNCA) and 

Adjacent Public Lands Administered 

by the Bureau of Land Management 

Uncompahgre Field Office, Montrose 

and Delta Counties, CO 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed supplementary rules 

for the GGNCA and adjacent public 

lands in southwestern Colorado. 

SUMMARY: Bureau of Land Management 

(BLM) Colorado is proposing 

supplementary rules for the GGNCA and 

adjacent public lands included in the 

2004 GGNCA Resource Management 

Plan (RMP) and managed by the GGNCA 

and Uncompahgre Field Offices in 

Montrose and Delta Counties, Colorado. 

The rules implement decisions found in 

the RMP and relate to the use of the 

lands, conduct, health and safety of 

public land users, and protection of 

natural resources. The proposed rules 

address off-road vehicle use and safety, 

firearms, hunting and target shooting, 

pets and pack stock use, camping, waste 

disposal, group size limits, permit 

requirements, and length of stay. These 

supplementary rules will be added to 

the current rules in effect for the 

GGNCA, Gunnison Gorge Wilderness, 

and adjacent public lands. The 

supplementary rules will be enforced by 

BLM law enforcement rangers. 

DATES: Please send comments to the 

following address by November 9, 2009. 

Comments received or postmarked after 

this date may not be considered in the 

development of the final supplementary 

rules. 

ADDRESSES: Please mail or hand-deliver 

comments to Karen Tucker, GGNCA, 

BLM Uncompahgre Field Office, 2465 S. 

Townsend Avenue, Montrose, Colorado 

81401. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Karen Tucker, GGNCA (970) 240–5300,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Public Comment Procedures 

Written comments on the proposed 

supplementary rules should be specific, 

confined to issues pertinent to the 

proposed supplementary rules, and 

should explain the reason for any 

recommended change. Where possible, 

comments should reference the specific 

section or paragraph of the rules that the 

comment is addressing. The BLM is not 

obligated to consider or include in the 

Administrative Record for the final rules 

comments that are postmarked or 

electronically dated after the close of the 

comment period (see DATES) or 

comments delivered to an address other 

than the address listed above (See 

ADDRESSES). 

Comments, including names, street 

addresses, and other contact 

information of respondents, will be 

available for public review at the BLM 

Uncompahgre Field Office, 2465 S. 

Townsend Avenue, Montrose, Colorado 

81401. Before including your address, 

phone number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

II. Background 

These proposed supplementary rules 

apply to the Gunnison Gorge National 

Conservation Area (GGNCA), 

approximately 62,844 acres of public 

lands that include the 17,784-acre 

Gunnison Gorge Wilderness, and 32,937 

acres of adjacent public lands managed 

under the GGNCA management plan. 

The GGNCA was established by Public 

Law 106–76 on October 21, 1999. 

The GGNCA is located 10 miles north 

of Montrose, Colorado, bordered by the 

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National 

Park to the south. The proposed 

supplementary rules will help the BLM 

achieve management objectives and 

implement decisions in the GGNCA 

Resource Management Plan (RMP) 

approved on November 12, 2004. These 

supplementary rules will also allow the 

BLM to increase law enforcement efforts 

that will help mitigate damage to 

natural resources and provide for public 

health and safe public recreation. 

III. Discussion of the Proposed 

Supplementary Rules 

These proposed supplementary rules 

apply to a total of 95,781 acres of public 

lands managed by the BLM within the 

GGNCA RMP planning area. The area 

includes 62,844 acres of National 

Conservation Area (NCA) lands and 

32,937 acres of non-NCA lands within 


cprice-sewell on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 9, 2009 / Notices 46461 

Montrose and Delta Counties, Colorado, 

in the following townships: 

Colorado, Sixth Principal Meridian 

T. 14 S., R. 95 W. through 93 W. 

T. 15 S., R. 95 W. through 93 W. 

New Mexico Principal Meridian 

T. 51 N., R. 10 W. through 7 W. 

T. 50 N., R. 10 W. through 6 W. 

T. 49 N., R 9 W. through 8 W. 

These rules are consistent with the 

Record of Decision of the 2004 GGNCA 

RMP. In preparing the RMP, the BLM 

sought public review of four 

alternatives. 

The RMP objectives are to protect the 

GGNCA’s and adjacent public lands’ 

natural settings and outstanding 

wilderness, geologic, cultural, scientific, 

wildlife, and recreational values, while 

providing the public a safe and 

enjoyable experience. An additional 

objective of the supplementary rules is 

to protect BLM employees and 

volunteers charged with maintaining 

and improving the condition of these 

natural resources and protect the BLM’s 

investment in recreational facilities, 

signs, roads and other amenities 

provided for visitor enjoyment. The 

goals are to encourage users to obey all 

rules and regulations in order to 

increase visitor safety; prevent 

accidents; reduce human health and 

sanitation concerns; protect natural and 

cultural resources; eliminate motorized 

and non-motorized impacts on sensitive 

species habitat; reduce conflicts among 

user groups; and eliminate illegal uses 

such as vandalism, poaching, bonfires, 

underage drinking and drug parties, and 

any unruly behavior that may lead to 

any of these uses. 

The RMP includes specific 

management actions that restrict certain 

activities and define allowable uses. The 

proposed supplementary rules 

implement these management actions 

within the GGNCA and adjacent public 

lands. Many of the proposed 

supplementary rules apply to the entire 

area but some apply only to specific 

areas within the GGNCA. The proposed 

rules are written to allow for 

management flexibility. 

Rules that limit group size and stay 

length, restrict camping to designated 

sites, prohibit the collection of firewood 

and building of wood fires, and require 

the use of portable toilets, stoves and/ 

or metal fire containers, are essential to 

provide maximum protection of the 

area’s wilderness and wild and scenic 

river values, native riparian vegetation, 

sensitive wildlife and plant species, and 

to ensure successful implementation of 

BLM restoration projects. General travel 

and off-highway vehicle use regulations 

implement key RMP decisions intended 

to enhance user safety and ensure 

compliance with travel management 

restrictions to protect critical resources 

and scenic values in different 

management areas within the GGNCA 

and adjacent public lands. 

The implementation of these rules in 

the GGNCA and on adjacent public 

lands is a major step in providing the 

resources necessary to meet these goals 

and objectives. The Uncompaghre Field 

Office proposes to add these additional 

supplementary rules to the current rules 

in effect for the GGNCA and adjacent 

public lands under the Federal Land 

Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), 

Title 43 U.S.C. 1740, and Title 43 CFR 

8365.1–6. 

IV. Procedural Matters 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review 

These supplementary rules are not 

significant regulatory actions and not 

subject to review by the Office of 

Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866. These 

supplementary rules will not have an 

annual effect of $100 million or more on 

the economy. They will not adversely 

affect in a material way the economy, 

productivity, competition, jobs, the 

environment, public health or safety, or 

State, local, or tribal governments or 

communities. These supplementary 

rules will not create a serious 

inconsistency or otherwise interfere 

with an action taken or planned by 

another agency. The supplementary 

rules do not materially alter the 

budgetary effects of entitlements, grants, 

user fees, or loan programs or the rights 

or obligations of their recipients, nor do 

they raise novel legal or policy issues. 

These supplementary rules are merely 

rules of conduct for public use of a 

limited area of public lands. 

Clarity of the Regulations 

Executive Order 12866 requires each 

agency to write regulations that are 

simple and easy to understand. The 

BLM invites your comments on how to 

make these proposed supplementary 

rules easier to understand, including 

answers to questions such as the 

following: 

(1) Are the requirements in the 

proposed supplementary rules clearly 

stated? 

(2) Do the proposed supplementary 

rules contain technical language or 

jargon that interferes with their clarity? 

(3) Does the format of the proposed 

supplementary rules (grouping and 

order of sections, use of headings, 

paragraphing, etc.) aid or reduce their 

clarity? 

(4) Would the proposed 

supplementary rules be easier to 

understand if they were divided into 

more (but shorter) sections? 

(5) Is the description of the proposed 

supplementary rules in the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of 

this preamble helpful in understanding 

the proposed supplementary rules? How 

could this description be more helpful 

in making the proposed supplementary 

rules easier to understand? 

Please send any comments you may 

have on the clarity of the proposed 

supplementary rules to one of the 

addresses specified in the ADDRESSES

section. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

The proposed supplementary rules 

put forth in this notice implement key 

land use planning decisions in the 

Approved GGNCA RMP and Record of 

Decision signed by the BLM State 

Director of Colorado in November 2004. 

The four-year RMP process included 

extensive public input and development 

of a draft and Proposed RMP and Final 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for the GGNCA and Gunnison Gorge 

Wilderness, which was completed in 

January 2004. During the National 

Environmental Policy Act process, each 

alternative was fully analyzed, 

including the types of decisions set 

forth in these supplemental rules. The 

rationale for the decisions made can be 

found in Chapter 5, Environmental 

Consequences. The BLM has placed the 

Final EIS, Approved RMP, and Record 

of Decision on file in the BLM 

Administrative Record at the address 

specified in the ADDRESSES section. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Congress enacted the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (RFA) of 1980, as 

amended, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, to ensure 

that government regulations do not 

unnecessarily or disproportionately 

burden small entities. The RFA requires 

a regulatory flexibility analysis if a rule 

would have a significant economic 

impact, either detrimental or beneficial, 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. The proposed supplementary 

rules do not have a significant economic 

impact on entities of any size, but 

provide for the protection of persons, 

property, and resources on specific 

public lands. Therefore, the BLM has 

determined under the RFA that the 

proposed supplementary rules would 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities.

46462 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 9, 2009 / Notices 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act (SBREFA) 

These supplementary rules are not 

‘‘major’’ as defined under 5 U.S.C. 

804(2). The supplementary rules merely 

establish rules of conduct for public use 

of a limited area of public lands and do 

not affect commercial or business 

activities of any kind. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

These supplementary rules do not 

impose an unfunded mandate on State, 

local, or tribal governments in the 

aggregate, or the private sector of more 

than $100 million per year; nor do they 

have a significant or unique effect on 

small governments. The rules have no 

effect on governmental or tribal entities 

and would impose no requirements on 

any of these entities. The supplementary 

rules merely establish rules of conduct 

for public use of a limited selection of 

public lands and do not affect tribal, 

commercial, or business activities of any 

kind. Therefore, the BLM is not required 

to prepare a statement containing the 

information required by the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1531 et 

seq.). 

Executive Order 12630, Governmental 

Actions and Interference With 

Constitutionally Protected Property 

Rights (Takings) 

These supplementary rules do not 

have significant takings implications, 

nor are they capable of interfering with 

Constitutionally protected property 

rights. The supplementary rules merely 

establish rules of conduct for public use 

of a limited area of public lands and do 

not affect anyone’s property rights. 

Therefore, the Department of the 

Interior has determined that these rules 

will not cause a ‘‘taking’’ of private 

property or require preparation of a 

takings assessment under this Executive 

Order. 

Executive Order 13132, Federalism 

These supplementary rules will not 

have a substantial direct effect on the 

States, the relationship between the 

national government and the States, nor 

the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. These 

supplementary rules do not come into 

conflict with any State law or 

regulation. Therefore, in accordance 

with Executive Order 13132, the BLM 

has determined that these 

supplementary rules do not have 

sufficient Federalism implications to 

warrant preparation of a Federalism 

Assessment. 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform 

Under Executive Order 12988, the 

Office of the Solicitor has determined 

that these rules will not unduly burden 

the judicial system and that they meet 

the requirements of sections 3(a) and 

3(b)(2) of the Order. 

Executive Order 13175, Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

In accordance with Executive Order 

13175, the BLM has found that these 

supplementary rules do not include 

policies that have tribal implications. 

None of the lands included in these 

rules are Indian lands or affect Indian 

rights. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

These supplementary rules do not 

contain information collection 

requirements that the Office of 

Management and Budget must approve 

under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. Any 

information collection requirements 

contained in these rules are exempt 

from the provisions of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 

3518(c)(1). Federal criminal 

investigations or prosecutions may 

result from these rules, and the 

collection of information for these 

purposes is exempt from the Paperwork 

Reduction Act. 

Supplementary Rules for the Gunnison 

Gorge National Conservation Area

COMMISSION 

[Investigation Nos. 701–TA–458 and 731– 

TA–1154 (Final)] 

Certain Kitchen Appliance Shelving 

and Racks From China 

Determinations 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject investigations, the United 

States International Trade Commission 

(Commission) determines,2 pursuant to 

sections 705(b) and 735(b) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 

1673d(b)) (the Act), that the refrigeration 

shelving industry in the United States is 

materially injured and the oven racks 

industry in the United States is 

threatened with material injury by 

reason of imports from China of certain 

kitchen appliance shelving and racks,3 4

provided for in subheadings 7321.90.50, 

7321.90.60, 8418.99.80, and 8516.90.80 

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States, that have been found 

by the Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) to be subsidized by the 

Government of China and sold in the 

United States at less than fair value 

(LTFV). In addition, the Commission 

determines that it would not have found 

material injury with regard to imports of 

oven racks from China but for the 

suspension of liquidation. 

Background 

The Commission instituted these 

investigations effective July 31, 2008, 

following receipt of a petition filed with 

the Commission and Commerce by 

Nashville Wire Products Inc., Nashville, 

TN, SSW Holding Company, Inc., 

Elizabethtown, KY, the United Steel, 

Paper and Forestry, Rubber, 

Manufacturing, Energy, AlliedIndustrial and Service Workers 

International Union, and the 

International Association of Machinists 

and Aerospace Workers, District Lodge 

6, Clinton, IA. The final phase of the 

investigations was scheduled by the 

Commission following notification of 

preliminary determinations by 

Commerce that imports of certain 

kitchen appliance shelving and racks 

from China were being subsidized 

within the meaning of section 703(b) of 

the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and being 

sold at LTFV within the meaning of 

section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of 

the final phase of the Commission’s 

investigations and of a public hearing to 

be held in connection therewith was 

given by posting copies of the notice in 

the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 

International Trade Commission, 

Washington, DC, and by publishing the 

notice in the Federal Register of April 

21, 2009 (74 FR 18249). The hearing was 

held in Washington, DC, on July 16, 

2009, and all persons who requested the 

opportunity were permitted to appear in 

person or by counsel. 

The Commission transmitted its 

determinations in these investigations to 

the Secretary of Commerce on 

September 2, 2009. The views of the 

Commission are contained in USITC 

Publication 4098 (August 2009), entitled 

Certain Kitchen Appliance Shelving and 

Racks From China: Investigation Nos. 

701–TA–458 and 731–TA–1154 (Final).
