Prineville District; Closure of Public

Lands; Oregon

February 12, 1997.

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice is hereby given that,

effective immediately, the area legally

described below is closed to use of all

motorized vehicles (including but not

limited to off-road vehicles and

snowmobiles) yearlong. Also, the area

legally described below is closed to use

of all motorized equipment (including

but not limited to chainsaws) from

March 1 to August 31 annually.

Legal Description

This closure applies to the area

located in Township 21 South, Range 10

East, Section 6, South half of the

Southwest quarter; Section 6, Southeast

quarter; Section 6, Southwest quarter of

the Northeast quarter; and Section 7,

North half of the Northwest quarter.

The area described above is closed to

all motorized vehicle use yearlong. The

area described above is closed

seasonally to use of all motorized

equipment from March 1 to August 31.

The purpose of this closure is to protect

wildlife resources. More specifically,

this closure is ordered to reduce

disturbance and habitat destruction to

nesting pairs of great gray owl and

northern goshawk within the nest stand.

Great gray owl and northern goshawk

(Bureau sensitive species) are extremely

sensitive to disturbance within the nest

stand during the time period described

above. Suitable nesting habitat for these

species is currently very limited within

the La Pine management area. Current

uses at the site jeopardize the

persistence and nesting success of these

species in this area. Exemptions to this

closure order may be made on a caseby-case basis as approved by the

authorized officer. This emergency

order will be evaluated in the Urban

Interface Plan Amendment to the 1989

Brothers/La Pine Resource Management

Plan. The authority for this closure is 43

CFR 8364.1: Closure and restriction

orders.
