Abstract: Section 5 of the Indian 

Reorganization Act of June 18, 1934 (25 

U.S.C. 5108) and the Indian Land 

Consolidation Act of January 12, 1983 

(25 U.S.C. 2202) authorize the Secretary 

of the Interior (Secretary), in his/her 

discretion, to acquire lands through 

purchase, relinquishment, gift,

purpose of providing land for Indian

authorize the Secretary to acquire lands 

for individual Indians and Tribes. 

Regulations implementing the 

acquisition authority are at 25 CFR 151. 

In order for the Secretary to acquire land 

on behalf of individual Indians and 

Tribes, the BIA must collect certain 

information to identify the party(ies)

additional information deemed 

necessary to make a determination to 

accept or reject an application to take 

land into trust for the individual Indian 

or Tribe, as set out in 25 CFR 151. This 

information collection allows the BIA to 

review applications for compliance with 

regulatory and statutory requirements. 

No specific form is used.

Trust Land. 

OMB Control Number: 1076–0100. 

Form Number: None.

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 the Legacy 

Racing off-highway vehicle (OHV) race 

event authorized under a Special 

Recreation Permit. 

DATES: The temporary restrictions for

Arizona 86403, telephone (928) 302– 

4255, email sbice@blm.gov. Also see the 

Lake Havasu Field Office website: 

https://www.blm.gov/office/lakehavasu-field-office. Individuals in the 

United States who are deaf, deafblind, 

hard of hearing, or have a speech 

disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 6, 2015, the decision record 

authorizing off-road high-speed events 

on the Parker 400 racecourse was 

signed. 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 temporary closures and 

restrictions affect public lands in and 

around Parker and Bouse in La Paz 

County, Arizona. The temporary closure 

applies to all public use, including 

pedestrian and vehicles, unless 

excepted. The temporary closure area 

follows the Parker 400 racecourse as 

designated in the 2007 Lake Havasu 

Resource Management Plan. 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 

fine or imprisonment, or both, as 

specified by law. 

Temporary Closure 

a. The designated racecourse is closed 

to public entry during the temporary 

closure, with the following exceptions: 

i. The person is an employee or 

authorized volunteer with the BLM, a 

law enforcement officer, emergency 

medical service provider, fire protection 

provider, or another public agency 

employee working at and assigned to 

the event; 

ii. The person is working at or 

attending the event directly on behalf of 

the permit holder. 

b. Motor vehicles may be operated 

within the temporary closure area under 

the circumstances listed below: 

i. Race participants and support 

vehicles on designated routes; 

ii. BLM, medical, law enforcement, 

and firefighting vehicles are authorized

iii. Vehicles operated by the permit

manner that it is visible to the front of 

the vehicle while the vehicle is in 

motion.
