[BLM_WY_FRN_MO4500173295] 

Notice of Proposed Supplementary 

Rule for Public Lands in Wyoming 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed supplementary rule. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) is proposing a 

supplementary rule to protect natural 

resources and provide for public health 

and safety. The proposed 

supplementary rule would apply to all 

public lands and BLM facilities in 

Wyoming. 

DATES: You should submit your 

comments by November 13, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by the following methods: Mail or hand 

deliver to Deborah Sullivan, State Chief 

Ranger, BLM Wyoming State Office, 

5353 Yellowstone Rd., Cheyenne, WY 

82009. You may also submit comments 

via email to dsullivan@blm.gov (include 

‘‘Proposed Supplementary Rule’’ in the 

subject line). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Public Comment Procedures 

Written comments on the proposed 

supplementary rule should be specific, 

be confined to issues pertinent to the 

proposed supplementary rule, and 

explain the reason for any 

recommended change. Where possible, 

comments should reference the specific 

section or paragraph of the proposed 

supplementary rule that the comment is 

addressing. The BLM is not obligated to 

consider or include in the 

Administrative Record for the final 

supplementary rule comments the BLM 

receives after the close of the comment 

period (see DATES) unless they are 

postmarked or electronically dated 

before the deadline, or comments

cannot guarantee we will be able to do 

so. 

II. Background 

BLM state offices have issued various 

statewide supplementary rules to 

protect natural resources and provide 

for public health and safety. Individual 

BLM field offices have also issued 

various supplementary rules for travel 

management, protection of natural 

resources, and public health and safety. 

III. Discussion of the Proposed 

Supplementary Rule 

This proposed supplementary rule 

would apply to all public lands in 

Wyoming. Proposed supplementary rule 

numbers 1 and 2 address general public 

conduct on public lands. Proposed 

supplementary rule numbers 3 through 

7 address resource damage and public 

safety concerns involving the use of 

exploding targets, flammable devices, 

and target shooting. Proposed 

supplementary rule numbers 8 and 9 

address the possession or use of alcohol 

on public lands. Proposed 

supplementary rule number 10 

addresses the possession of drug 

paraphernalia in violation of state law. 

Proposed supplementary rule number 

11 requires trailers on public land to 

have current registration. Proposed 

supplementary rule number 12 adopts 

Wyoming Revised Statutes regarding 

hunting, fishing, boating, and outfitters. 

Proposed supplementary rule number 

13 further clarifies existing Federal 

regulations found in 43 CFR 9264.1(h) 

relating to vehicles, game animals, 

boating, and river outfitters. 

Proposed supplementary rule number 

14 addresses the burning of wood 

pallets containing nails or staples on 

public land. Campsites in popular areas 

on public land are used repeatedly 

throughout the spring, summer, and fall. 

As use increases, the availability of 

firewood decreases, leading more 

campers to bring construction debris or 

wood pallets with nails or staples in 

them to use as firewood. The nails and 

staples end up in campfire ash left at the 

campsite. In an effort to return 

campsites to a more primitive condition, 

many campers scatter ashes and rock 

rings before leaving their campsite. The 

nails or staples end up on the ground 

surface, causing flat tires. Proposed 

supplementary rule number 14 would 

reduce the risk of tire damage from 

discarded nails and staples in popular 

camping areas. 

Proposed supplementary rule 

numbers 15 and 16 address impacts to 

wild horses from increased visitation, 

photography, and tours within their 

natural habitat. Wild horses can lose 

their wariness of humans due to 

acclimation with, close proximity to, 

and feeding by humans; this results in 

an increased likelihood of injury to a 

visitor or to a wild horse. 

The proposed supplementary rule is 

in conformance with the following 

resource management plans (RMPs), as 

amended: 

• Rock Springs RMP (‘‘Green River 

RMP’’) (1997) 

• Newcastle Field Office RMP (2000) 

• Casper Field Office RMP (2007) 

• Pinedale Field Office RMP (2008) 

• Snake River RMP (2004) 

• Rawlins Field Office RMP (2008) 

• Kemmerer Field Office RMP (2010) 

• Lander Field Office RMP (2014) 

• Buffalo Field Office RMP (2015) 

• Bighorn Basin RMP—Cody Field 

Office (2015) 

• Bighorn Basin RMP—Worland Field 

Office (2015) 

IV. Procedural Matters 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review 

The proposed supplementary rule is 

not a significant regulatory action and is 

not subject to review by the Office of 

Management and Budget under 

Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, as 

amended by E.O. 14094. It does not 

have an annual effect of $200 million or 

more on the economy. It does 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. It does 

not create a serious inconsistency or 

otherwise interfere with an action taken 

or planned by another agency. It does 

not materially alter the budgetary effects 

of entitlements, grants, user fees, loan 

programs, or the rights or obligations of 

their recipients, nor does it raise novel 

legal or policy issues. The proposed 

supplementary rule merely establishes 

conduct for public use of a limited area 

of public lands. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) 

The BLM has found that the proposed 

supplementary rule comprises a 

category or kind of action that has no 

significant individual or cumulative 

effect on the quality of the human 

environment. See 40 CFR 1508.4; 43 

CFR 26.210. Specifically, the 

promulgation of the proposed 

supplementary rule—which prohibits 

violating existing state laws or engaging 

in activities that fall within 43 CFR 

8365.1–4’s general prohibition on 

creating a hazard or nuisance—is an 

action that is of an administrative, 

financial, legal, technical, or procedural 

nature within the meaning of 43 CFR 

26.210(i), and none of the extraordinary 

circumstances listed at 43 CFR 26.215 

are applicable. 

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. This proposed supplementary 

rule merely establishes conduct for 

public use of a limited area of public 

lands. Therefore, the BLM has 

determined under the RFA that the 

proposed supplementary rule would not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act 

The proposed supplementary rule is 

not considered a ‘major rule’ as defined 

under 5 U.S.C. 804(2). The proposed 

supplementary rule merely establishes 

conduct for public use of a limited area 

of public lands and does not affect 

commercial or business activities of any 

kind. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

The proposed supplementary rule 

will 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 

will it have a significant or unique effect 

on small governments. The proposed 

supplementary rule will have no effect 

on governmental or Tribal entities and 

will impose no requirements on any of 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
62502 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 175 / Tuesday, September 12, 2023 / Proposed Rules 

these entities. The proposed 

supplementary rule merely establishes 

conduct for public use of a limited area 

of public lands and does 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) 

The proposed supplementary rule is 

not a government action capable of 

interfering with constitutionally 

protected property rights. The proposed 

supplementary rule does not address 

property rights in any form and would 

not cause the impairment of 

constitutionally protected property 

rights. Therefore, the BLM has 

determined that the proposed 

supplementary rule will not cause a 

‘‘taking’’ of private property or require 

further discussion of takings 

implications under this Executive order. 

Executive Order 13132, Federalism 

The proposed supplementary rule 

would not have a substantial direct 

effect on the states, on the relationship 

between the national government and 

the states, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities among the 

various levels of government. Therefore, 

in accordance with Executive Order 

13132, the BLM has determined that 

this proposed supplementary rule will 

not have sufficient federalism 

implications to warrant preparation of a 

Federalism Assessment. 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform 

Under Executive Order 12988, the 

BLM has determined that this proposed 

supplementary rule will not unduly 

burden the judicial system and that it 

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 

In accordance with Executive Order 

13175, the BLM has found that this 

proposed supplementary rule does not 

include policies that have Tribal 

implications and would have no bearing 

on trust lands, lands for which title is 

held in fee status by Indian Tribes, or 

U.S. Government-owned lands managed 

by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. 

Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use 

This proposed supplementary rule 

does not constitute a significant energy 

action. This proposed supplementary 

rule would not have an adverse effect on 

energy supply, production, or 

consumption and has no connection 

with energy policy. 

Executive Order 13352, Facilitation of 

Cooperative Conservation 

In accordance with Executive Order 

13352, the BLM has determined that the 

proposed supplementary rule would not 

impede facilitating cooperative 

conservation; would take appropriate 

account of and consider the interests of 

persons with ownership or other legally 

recognized interests in land or other 

natural resources; would properly 

accommodate local participation in the 

Federal decision-making process; and 

would provide that the programs, 

projects, and activities are consistent 

with protecting public health and safety. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This proposed supplementary rule 

does 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. 3501–3521. 

Author 

The principal author of this proposed 

supplementary rule is Deborah Sullivan, 

State Chief Ranger, BLM Wyoming State 

Office.
