have sufficient Federalism implications 

to warrant preparation of a Federalism 

Assessment. 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform 

Under Executive Order 12988, the 

Colorado State Office of the BLM has 

determined that these final 

supplementary rules would 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 E.O. 13175, we 

have found that these final 

supplementary rules do not include 

policies that have tribal implications. 

Since the supplementary rules do not 

change BLM policy and do not involve 

Indian reservation lands or resources, 

we have determined that the 

government-to-government 

relationships would remain unaffected. 

The supplementary rules only prohibit 

the use of alcoholic beverages and 

illegal drugs on public lands. 

Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use 

These final supplementary rules do 

not comprise a significant energy action. 

The rules will not have an adverse effect 

on energy supplies, production, or 

consumption. They only address use of 

alcoholic beverages and drugs on public 

lands, and have no conceivable 

connection with energy policy. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

These final 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. 

Author 

The principal author of these 

supplementary rules is State Staff 

Ranger Dorothy Bensusan, Bureau of 

Land Management. 

For the reasons stated in the 

Preamble, and under the authority of 43 

CFR 8365.1–6, the Colorado State 

Director, Bureau of Land Management, 

issues supplementary rules for public 

lands in Colorado, to read as follows:

C. You must not possess any drug 

paraphernalia, in violation of any state

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Land Management 

[ID310–06–1640–HQ] 

Notice of Emergency Closure/ 

Restriction Order 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Department of the Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Emergency Closure/ 

Restriction Order. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 43 CFR 8364.1, 

the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) 

Upper Snake Field Office (USFO) will 

temporarily close parts of four sections 

of public lands to car and truck traffic. 

This closure will cut off of certain roads 

to target shooting. BLM is taking this 

action because of uncontrolled, open, 

illegal dumping by members of the 

public of unwanted and waste items. 

Any person who fails to comply with a 

closure or restriction order issued under 

this authority may be subject to the 

penalties provided in 43 CFR 8360.0–7. 

The closure is effective immediately 

upon publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Annually, 

the BLM buries or removes 20 to 50 

dumped dead animals and about 10 tons 

of solid waste from the public lands 

near North Menan Butte, a National 

Natural Landmark. The waste originates 

from the public, who bring and leave 

propane tanks, hot water heaters, 

computers, televisions, washers, dryers, 

car batteries, paint cans and other waste 

objects. Target shooters use this waste to 

shoot at and leave shell casings littering 

the landscape. This area is now a health 

and safety hazard due to dumping, 

shooting, and the potential for disease 

transmission from uncovered dead 

animal carcasses. This waste has also 

attracted hazardous waste dumping in 

recent years. 

BLM proposes to close the following 

sections: 

Boise Meridian, Idaho 

T. 6 N., R 38 E., 

Section 27 (all) in Madison County, 

Sections 28 (parts) in Jefferson County, and 

T. 5 N., R. 38 E., 

Sections 4 (all) and 5 (parts) in Jefferson 

County. 

Signs will be placed on the highway 

and at the site explaining the road and 

target shooting closures. Fences and 

road barriers will be installed that will 

allow for continued access by ATVs, 

motorcycles, equestrian use, and foot 

traffic in the southern portion. 

Exemptions: Persons who are exempt 

from this restriction include: Any 

federal, state or local officer or 

employee acting within the scope of 

their duties; members of any organized 

rescue or fire-fighting force in the 

performance of an official duty; any 

person holding written authorization 

from the BLM. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: This temporary closure 

will be effective the date this notice is 

published in the Federal Register and 

will remain in effect for three years from 

the date of publication or until 

rescinded or modified by the authorized 

officer or designated Federal officer. 

Additional Information: Additional 

information concerning the emergency 

closure is available by contacting Dan 

Kotansky at the BLM Upper Snake Field 

Office, 1405 Hollipark Drive, Idaho 

Falls, Idaho 83401, or by calling (208) 

524–7500. 

(Authority: 43 CFR 8364.1. Violators of this 

closure order are punishable by a fine not to 

exceed $1,000 and/or imprisonment not to 

exceed 12 months. 43 CFR 8360.0–7.) 

Dated: January 11, 2007. 

Wendy Reynolds, 

Upper Snake Field Manager.
