Notice of Temporary Closure and 

Temporary Restrictions of Selected 

Public Lands in La Paz County, AZ— 

AZ Race Corp., the Parker 400 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of temporary closure and 

restrictions. 

SUMMARY: As authorized under the 

provisions of the Federal Land Policy 

and Management Act of 1976, as 

amended, notice is hereby given that 

temporary closures and temporary 

restrictions of activities will be in effect 

on public lands administered by the 

Lake Havasu Field Office, Bureau of 

Land Management (BLM), to minimize 

the risk of potential collisions with 

spectators and racers during AZ Race 

Corporation’s off-highway vehicle 

(OHV) race event, the Parker 400, 

authorized under a Special Recreation 

Permit. 

DATES: The temporary restrictions for 

the Parker 400 take effect at 11:59 p.m., 

January 7, 2024, and last through 11:59

Havasu Field Office website: https://

who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 6, 2015, the Decision Record 

authorizing the Parker Races was 

signed. This permit authorizes the 

utilization of the Parker 400 course for 

two race events to occur between 

December 1 and February 28 annually. 

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 

closure applies to all public use, 

including pedestrians and vehicles, 

unless excepted. The temporary closure 

area follows the Parker 400 course as 

designated in the 2007 Lake Havasu 

Resource Management Plan. 

Within the temporary restriction area, 

the temporary restrictions apply in 

addition to all existing regulations. The 

temporary restriction area begins on 

public lands east of the eastern 

boundary of the Colorado River Indian 

Tribe (CRIT) Reservation, along Shea 

Road, then east into Osborne Wash onto 

the Parker-Swansea Road to the Central 

Arizona Project (CAP) Canal, then north 

on the west side of the CAP Canal, 

crossing the canal on the countymaintained road, running northeast into 

Mineral Wash Canyon, then southeast 

on the county-maintained road, through 

the four-corners intersection to the 

Midway (Pit) intersection, then east on 

Transmission Pass Road, through State 

Trust Land located in Butler Valley, 

turning north into Cunningham Wash to 

North Tank, continuing south to 

Transmission Pass Road and east 

(reentering public land) within two 

miles of Alamo Dam Road. The 

temporary restriction area boundary 

turns south and west onto the wooden 

power line road, onto the State Trust 

Land in Butler Valley, turning 

southwest into Cunningham Wash to 

the Graham Well, intersecting Butler 

Valley Road, then north and west on the 

county-maintained road to the ‘‘Bouse 

Y’’ intersection, two miles north of 

Bouse, Arizona. The temporary 

restriction area boundary proceeds 

north, paralleling the Bouse-Swansea 

Road to the Midway (Pit) intersection, 

then west along the north boundary 

(power line) road of the East Cactus 

Plain Wilderness Area to ParkerSwansea Road. The temporary 

restriction area boundary turns west 

into Osborne Wash crossing the CAP 

Canal, along the north boundary of the 

Cactus Plain Wilderness Study Area; it 

continues west, staying in Osborne 

Wash and crossing Shea Road along the 

southern boundary of Gibraltar 

Wilderness, rejoining Osborne Wash at 

the CRIT Reservation boundary. 

The temporary closures and 

restrictions are necessary because of the 

high-speed nature of the race event and 

the added safety concerns due to the 

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. 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 of a fine or imprisonment or 

both as specified by law.

these investigations may be viewed on 

the Commission’s electronic docket 

(EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope.—For purposes of these 

investigations, Commerce has defined 

the subject merchandise as ‘‘The 

products covered by these investigations 

are brass rod and bar (brass rod), which 

is defined as leaded, low-lead, and nolead solid brass made from alloys such 

as, but not limited to the following 

alloys classified under the Unified 

Numbering System (UNS) as C27450, 

C27451, C27460, C34500, C35000, 

C35300, C35330, C36000, C36300, 

C37000, C37700, C48500, C67300, 

C67600, and C69300, and their 

international equivalents. 

The brass rod subject to these 

investigations has an actual crosssection or outside diameter greater than 

0.25 inches but less than or equal to 12 

inches. Brass rod cross-sections may be 

round, hexagonal, square, or octagonal 

shapes as well as special profiles (e.g., 

angles, shapes), including hollow 

profiles. 

Standard leaded brass rod covered by 

the scope contains, by weight, 57.0–65.0 

percent copper; 0.5–3.0 percent lead; no 

more than 1.3 percent iron; and at least 

15 percent zinc. No-lead or low-lead 

brass rod covered by the scope contains 

by weight 59.0–76.0 percent copper; 0– 

1.5 percent lead; no more than 0.35 

percent iron; and at least 15 percent 

zinc. Brass rod may also include other 

chemical elements (e.g., nickel, 

phosphorous, silicon, tin, etc.). 

Brass rod may be in straight lengths 

or coils. Brass rod covered by these 

investigations may be finished or 

unfinished, and may or may not be 

heated, extruded, pickled, or colddrawn. Brass rod may be produced in 

accordance with ASTM B16, ASTM 

B124, ASTM B981, ASTM B371, ASTM 

B453, ASTM B21, ASTM B138, and 

ASTM B927, but such conformity to an 

ASTM standard is not required for the 

merchandise to be included within the 

scope. 

Excluded from the scope of these 

investigations is brass ingot, which is a 

casting of unwrought metal unsuitable 

for conversion into brass rod without 

remelting, that contains, by weight, at 

least 57.0 percent copper and 15.0 

percent zinc. 

The merchandise covered by these 

investigations is currently classifiable 

under subheadings 7407.21.9000, 

7407.21.7000, and 7407.21.1500 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). Products subject 

to the scope may also enter under 

HTSUS subheadings 7403.21.0000, 

7407.21.3000, and 7407.21.5000. The 

HTSUS subheadings and UNS alloy 

designations are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes. The 

written description of the scope of the 

investigations is dispositive.’’ 

Background.—The final phase of 

these investigations is being scheduled 

pursuant to section 731(b) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)), as a 

result of affirmative preliminary 

determinations by Commerce that 

certain benefits which constitute 

subsidies within the meaning of § 703 of 

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

provided to manufacturers, producers, 

or exporters in India, Israel, and South 

Korea of brass rod. Commerce’s 

preliminary determinations with respect 

to imports of brass rod from Brazil, 

India, Israel, Mexico, South Africa, and 

South Korea that are alleged to be sold 

in the United States at less than fair 

value are pending.
