Proposed Supplementary Rules for 

Public Land in Oregon and 

Washington 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed Supplementary Rules 

on Public Land in Oregon and 

Washington. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) Oregon State Office 

is proposing supplementary rules for 

public lands within the States of Oregon 

and Washington. These supplementary 

rules revise existing supplementary 

rules and will apply to all BLMmanaged lands within the States of 

Oregon and Washington. These 

revisions are necessary in order to 

protect public land natural resources 

and provide for the public’s health and 

safety, provide needed guidance in the 

areas of special forest products and 

recreation, allow for the assessment of 

penalties that are commensurate with 

the magnitude of prohibited acts, and 

promote consistency between the BLM 

and other natural resource agencies. 

DATES: Comments on the proposed 

supplementary rules must be received 

or postmarked by November 20, 2009, to 

be assured consideration. In developing 

final supplementary rules, the BLM is 

not obligated to consider comments 

postmarked or received in person or by 

electronic mail after this date. 

ADDRESSES: You may mail or handdeliver comments to the Office of Law 

Enforcement, BLM, Oregon State Office, 

P.O. Box 2965, Portland, Oregon 97208. 

You may also comment via the Internet 

e-mail address: ORWA_

II. Discussion of the Proposed 

Supplementary Rules 

The BLM Oregon State Office is 

proposing supplementary rules for 

public lands that it manages within the 

States of Oregon and Washington. These 

supplementary rules revise existing 

supplementary rules. These revisions 

are necessary in order to protect public 

land natural resources and provide for 

the public’s health and safety, provide 

needed guidance in the areas of special 

forest products and recreation, allow for 

the assessment of penalties that are 

commensurate with the magnitude of 

prohibited acts, and promote 

consistency between the BLM and other 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 181 / Monday, September 21, 2009 / Notices 48097 

natural resource agencies, including the 

U.S. Forest Service, National Park 

Service, Oregon State Parks and 

Recreation Department, and the State of 

Washington Department of Natural 

Resources. 

These proposed supplementary rules 

would fill in gaps between existing 

supplementary rules, and provisions 

administered by other land management 

agencies. The existing supplementary 

rules for Oregon and Washington public 

lands were published in August of 2005. 

70 FR 48584 (Aug. 18, 2005). 

Currently, the BLM’s forest and plant 

products program in Oregon and 

Washington lacks specific rules with 

penalties for theft or permit violations. 

From FY 2000 to FY 2007 the BLM in 

Oregon and Washington experienced 

533 firewood theft and 372 forest 

product theft incidents. These incidents 

involved sales of firewood at makeshift 

sites located on public lands, and other 

unauthorized commercial uses of public 

lands. The proposed supplementary 

rules would enable the BLM to address 

such incidents. 

Additionally, the current regulations 

do not adequately protect the BLM’s 

administrative and day-use sites in 

Oregon and Washington. Administrative 

sites include fire guard stations, 

maintenance buildings, ware yards, 

residences, and outbuildings. Day-use 

sites include the Dean Creek Elk 

Viewing Site, interpretive pull-outs, 

picnic areas, and other sites improved 

for public use during daylight hours. 

The proposed supplementary rules 

would prohibit unauthorized entry and 

overnight use of administrative and dayuse sites. 

Supplementary rules are also 

necessary to address the Juniper Dunes 

Off-Highway Vehicle/All Terrain 

Vehicle (OHV/ATV) area. In the spring 

of 2007, the BLM obtained an easement 

for public access to the Juniper Dunes 

OHV/ATV area in Franklin County, 

which is located in southeast 

Washington State. The BLM undertook 

a planning process for parking areas and 

an informational kiosk. At that time, 

BLM determined that rules were needed 

for the area. 

The number of visitors to the Juniper 

Dunes OHV area has increased steadily. 

Since the 1980s, the number of 

unofficial, privately-owned OHV areas 

in southeast Washington State has 

decreased because many have been 

converted to commercial or residential 

purposes. Another factor has been 

improved public access to the Juniper 

Dunes due to the BLM’s acquisition of 

an easement. The BLM has observed not 

only increasing numbers of visitors to 

the Juniper Dunes, but also increased 

numbers of accidents involving OHVs. 

The planning process revealed a need to 

add to the existing safety protocols in 

order to reduce the incidence and 

severity of accidents at the Juniper 

Dunes. 

In May 2007, the BLM posted 

temporary rules at the Dunes and in the 

Spokane BLM office. These rules were 

based on safety concerns, were modeled 

on the State of Washington’s OHV/ATV 

regulations, and were intended to 

reduce conflicts with and damage to 

adjacent private lands. These proposed 

supplementary rules for the Juniper 

Dunes OHV/ATV area would replace 

the temporary rules which have 

successfully reduced safety issues and 

user/resident conflicts. 

Finally, supplementary rules are 

necessary because the current BLM 

regulations do not prohibit giving false 

information in the course of an 

investigation or on an application for a 

permit. The wording of the proposed 

supplementary rule is identical to the 

National Park Service (36 CFR 2.32 

(a)(4)), and the U.S. Forest Service (36 

CFR 261.3(b)) rules. 

The penalty provisions of the 

proposed supplementary rules are the 

same as the penalty provisions included 

in the existing supplementary rules. 

They are being re-proposed here to 

avoid any confusion about the penalties 

applicable violations of the proposed 

supplementary rules. 

The supplementary rules are 

proposed under the authority of the 

Federal Land Policy and Management 

Act (FLPMA), 43 U.S.C. 1740, that apply 

to public lands generally. The FLPMA 

sets penalties at the Class A 

misdemeanor level. The proposed 

supplementary rules are also under the 

authority of the Taylor Grazing Act, 43 

U.S.C. 315a, which sets penalties at the 

Infraction level (Class C misdemeanor), 

and the Sikes Act, 16 U.S.C. 670h(c)(5), 

which sets penalties at the Petty Offense 

level (Class B misdemeanor). 

The Taylor Grazing Act applies to 

areas within grazing districts, leased 

grazing lands, and any lands that are not 

withdrawn from grazing, which 

encompasses most BLM public lands 

east of the Cascade Mountains in 

Oregon and Washington and lands in 

southwest Oregon. The Taylor Grazing 

Act directs the Secretary of the Interior 

to make such rules and regulations as 

are necessary to accomplish the 

purposes of the Taylor Grazing Act. 

These purposes include regulating the 

occupancy and use of public lands and 

preserving the land and its resources 

from destruction or unnecessary injury. 

The Sikes Act applies to areas where 

the BLM—in cooperation with State 

agencies and following comprehensive 

plans developed under 16 U.S.C. 670h 

0— plans, develops, maintains, and 

coordinates programs for the 

conservation and rehabilitation of 

wildlife, fish, and game. This 

coordination occurs predominantly on 

public lands west of the Cascade 

Mountains under the Northwest Forest 

Plan. The FLPMA, the Taylor Grazing 

Act, and the Sikes Act are all cited as 

authorities for promulgating 43 CFR 

8365.1–6, the guidance for creating 

supplementary rules. 

III. Procedural Matters 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review 

The proposed supplementary rules 

are not a significant regulatory action 

and are not subject to review by the 

Office of Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866. The proposed 

supplementary rules will not have an 

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. The proposed 

supplementary rules will not create a 

serious inconsistency or otherwise 

interfere with an action taken or 

planned by another agency. The 

proposed supplementary rules do not 

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. They merely 

impose rules of conduct and impose 

other limitations on certain recreational 

and commercial activities on certain 

public lands to protect natural resources 

and human health and safety. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

The BLM has found that the proposed 

supplementary rules are of a procedural 

nature and thus are categorically 

excluded from environmental review 

under Section 102(2)(C) of the 

Environmental Protection Act of 1969 

(NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), pursuant 

to 43 CFR 46.210(i). In addition, the 

proposed supplementary rules do not 

present any of the 12 extraordinary 

circumstances listed at 43 CFR 46.215. 

Pursuant to the Council on 

Environmental Quality regulations (40 

CFR 1508.4) and the environmental 

regulations, policies, and procedures of 

the Department of the Interior, the term 

‘‘categorical exclusions’’ means a 

category of actions which do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

48098 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 181 / Monday, September 21, 2009 / Notices 

environment and that have been found 

to have no such effect in procedures 

adopted by a Federal agency and for 

which neither an environmental 

assessment nor an environmental 

impact statement is required. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Congress enacted the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 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. These proposed supplementary 

rules should have no effect on business 

entities of any size. They would merely 

impose reasonable restrictions on 

certain recreational or commercial 

activities on public lands in order to 

protect natural resources and the 

environment, and provide for human 

health and safety. Therefore, the BLM 

has determined under the RFA that 

these proposed supplementary rules 

would not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act (SBREFA) 

The proposed supplementary rules 

are not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined at 5 

U.S.C. 804(2). They would not result in 

an effect on the economy of $100 

million or more, an increase in costs or 

prices, or significant adverse effects on 

competition, employment, investment, 

productivity, innovation, or the ability 

of United States-based enterprises to 

compete with foreign-based enterprises 

in domestic and export markets. They 

would merely impose reasonable 

restrictions on certain recreational and 

illegal commercial activities on certain 

public lands to protect natural 

resources, the environment, and human 

health and safety. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

The proposed supplementary rules do 

not impose an unfunded mandate on 

State, local, or Tribal governments or 

the private sector of more than $100 

million per year; nor do these proposed 

supplementary rules have a significant 

or unique effect on State, local, or Tribal 

governments or the private sector. They 

would merely impose reasonable 

restrictions on certain recreational 

activities on certain public lands to 

protect natural resources and the 

environment and human health and 

safety. They also specifically call for 

compliance with State laws and 

regulations. 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) 

The proposed supplementary rules do 

not comprise a government action 

capable of interfering with 

constitutionally protected property 

rights. Therefore, the BLM has 

determined that the rule would not 

cause a taking of private property or 

require preparation of a takings 

assessment under this Executive Order. 

Executive Order 13132, Federalism 

The proposed supplementary rules 

would not have a substantial, direct 

effect on the States, on the relationship 

between the Federal Government and 

the States, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities among the 

various levels of government. The 

proposed supplementary rules in 

several instances call for compliance 

with State law. Therefore, in accordance 

with Executive Order 13132, the BLM 

has determined that these proposed 

supplementary rules do not have 

sufficient Federalism implications to 

warrant preparation of a Federalism 

Assessment. 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform 

The BLM has determined that this 

proposed rule does not unduly burden 

the judicial system and meets the 

requirements of sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) 

of Executive Order 12988. 

Executive Order 13175, Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

The BLM has assessed the impact of 

these proposed supplementary rules on 

Tribal trust resources, on access to 

sacred sites, and on treaty rights. The 

BLM has determined that these 

proposed supplementary rules would 

not have Tribal implications as defined 

by Executive Order 13175, and therefore 

advance consultation with Indian Tribal 

Governments is not required. 

Information Quality Act 

In developing this proposed rule, the 

BLM did not conduct or use a study, 

experiment, or survey requiring peer 

review under the Information Quality 

Act (Section 515 of Pub. L. 106–554.). 

Executive Order 13211, Effects on the 

Nation’s Energy Supply 

This proposed rule revises a 

supplementary rule in order to protect 

natural resources and provide for public 

safety. This rule has no implications 

under Executive Order 13211. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

These proposed 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. 

Clarity of the Supplementary Rules 

Executive Order 12866 requires each 

agency to write regulations that are 

simple and easy to understand. We 

invite 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 clarity? 

(4) Would the 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 to your 

understanding of 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 have 

on the clarity of the supplementary 

rules to the address specified in the 

ADDRESSES section. 

Author 

The principal author of these 

proposed supplementary rules is Mike 

Roop, State Staff Ranger, Oregon State 

Office, P.O. Box 2965, Portland, Oregon 

97208. 

For the reasons stated in the preamble 

and under the authorities for 

supplementary rules found under 43 

CFR 8365.1–6, 43 U.S.C. 1740, 16 U.S.C. 

670h(c)(5), and 43 U.S.C. 315a, the BLM 

Oregon/Washington State Director 

proposes to issue supplementary rules 

for public lands managed by the BLM in 

Oregon and Washington, to read as 

follows:
