SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The BLM is establishing this supplementary rule under the authority 
of 43 CFR 8365.1-6, which authorizes BLM State Directors to establish 
supplementary rules for the protection of persons, property, and public 
lands and resources.
    The BLM approved resource management plans (RMPs) for the Colorado 
River Valley, Grand Junction, and Kremmling Field Offices in 2015, and 
for the Dominguez-Escalante NCA in 2017. The RMPs identify management 
actions that restrict certain activities and define allowable uses to 
protect natural resources and public health and safety. This final 
supplementary rule is necessary to implement those management decisions 
and make them enforceable.
    The field offices completed their RMP processes and issued Records 
of Decision (RODs) after inviting the public to comment during scoping 
and public-comment periods. The field offices reviewed each public 
comment received during each step of the process and responded to all 
comments received during the public comment periods. (See the 
individual RMPs for responses to public comments.)

II. Discussion of Public Comments

    The BLM published a proposed supplementary rule on January 25, 2024 
(89 FR 4872). The BLM received 432 comment letters during the 60-day 
public comment period, 344 of which were identical form letters and 88 
of which were unique comments. Of those 88 unique comment letters, 17 
contained substantive comments. Many comment letters expressed support 
for the proposed supplementary rule, but

[[Page 103664]]

other letters said the proposed rules were too restrictive. Many of the 
form letters expressed the need for clarification and justification of 
some of the rules.
    The proposed rule's restrictions on dispersed camping received the 
most comments. Commenters were concerned that the rule would diminish 
their ability to camp in dispersed areas. However, even with these 
restrictions, the vast majority of each of the field offices and the 
NCA would still be open to dispersed camping. Over 500,000 acres in the 
Colorado River Valley Field Office, over 300,000 acres in the Kremmling 
Field Office, and over 1 million acres in the Grand Junction Field 
Office (including the Dominguez-Escalante NCA) would still be available 
for dispersed camping. These comments did not result in changes to the 
final rule.
    Some commenters said the public would not know about the new rule 
once it is finalized and that the BLM would have trouble enforcing it. 
The BLM plans to begin a public education campaign to help inform the 
public of the new rule, including through personal contacts in the 
field, signs, and other methods. These comments did not result in 
changes to the final rule.
    In its comment, Eagle County requested that the BLM add a rule 
prohibiting public land users from leaving unsecured trash at campsites 
and requiring that unattended food and trash be stored in a sealed 
container or in locked vehicles. However, the BLM did not consider or 
analyze this requirement when preparing the Colorado River Valley Field 
Office RMP and the proposed supplementary rule, which precludes us from 
including this requirement in this final rule. The BLM will work with 
the county and the public to address trash concerns. The BLM did not 
change the final rule to address this comment.
    The Kremmling Board of Trustees commented that the proposed rule 
would greatly reduce the number of areas within the Kremmling Field 
Office's jurisdiction that are available for recreational shooting. The 
BLM included this reduction in the final 2015 Kremmling RMP, and the 
public had the opportunity to comment on it at that time. 
Implementation of the restrictions in this final rule will result in 
over 300,000 acres still being available for recreational target 
shooting in areas managed by the Kremmling Field Office. This comment 
did not result in a change to the rule.
    The BLM changed the definition of ``target backstop'' in the final 
rule based on comments received from Shooting Sports Round-table 
members that the proposed definition was too specific and that there 
are other backstop designs that will accomplish the same goal. The BLM 
also added language that states ``you must not engage in target 
shooting without a target backstop'' to each of the field offices' 
final rules. In the proposed rule, the BLM listed this requirement 
under the Colorado River Valley Field Office's rules only, which was an 
error.
    In its comment on the proposed rule, Mesa County pointed out that 
the BLM made an error in including ``Coal Gulch'' in the Grand Junction 
Field Office mechanized travel winter closure areas in Table 6--Areas 
Closed to Mechanized Travel During Winter/Spring. The BLM agrees that 
this is an error and has removed Coal Gulch from this list (see Rule 8 
below).

III. Discussion of the Final Supplementary Rule

    This final supplementary rule will apply to public lands and BLM 
facilities managed by the Colorado River Valley Field Office, Grand 
Junction Field Office, Kremmling Field Office, and Dominguez-Escalante 
NCA.
    This final supplementary rule will address resource damage, public 
safety, wildland fire, and wildlife disruption concerns. The BLM 
consulted with the Shooting Sports Roundtable while preparing each RMP 
to coordinate on the shooting closures described in this final rule.
    The final supplementary rule conforms with management decisions 
contained in the following RMPs:
     Colorado River Valley RMP (2015) as amended by the Sutey 
Ranch and Haines Parcel Approved RMP Amendment (2019);
     Grand Junction RMP (2015);
     Kremmling RMP (2015); and
     Dominguez-Escalante NCA RMP (2017).

IV. Procedural Matters

Regulatory Planning and Review (Executive Orders (E.O.) 12866, 13563, 
and 14094)

    This final supplementary rule is not subject to review by the 
Office of Management and Budget under E.O. 12866 as amended by E.O. 
14094. This final supplementary rule will not have an effect of $200 
million or more on the economy and will not adversely affect in a 
material way productivity; competition; jobs; the environment; public 
health or safety; or State, local, or Tribal governments or 
communities. This final supplementary rule will not create a serious 
inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an action taken or planned by 
another agency. This final supplementary rule will not materially alter 
the budgetary effects of entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan 
programs, or the rights or obligations of their recipients, nor does it 
raise novel legal or policy issues.

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 will have a 
significant economic impact, either detrimental or beneficial, on a 
substantial number of small entities. The BLM considered economic 
impacts at the time it developed the land use plans that underpin this 
final supplementary rule and it deemed these impacts to be minimal. The 
BLM expects that impacts from this final rule will affect a small 
number of outfitters and will have only a minor socioeconomic impact 
relative to the area's overall economy. For more economic information 
and analyses, please refer to the four RMPs listed earlier in this 
preamble and their supporting documents (see ADDRESSES). The BLM has 
determined under the RFA that this final supplementary rule will not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities.

Congressional Review Act

    This final supplementary rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined at 
5 U.S.C. 804(2). This final supplementary rule will not:
    (1) Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more.
    (2) Cause a major increase in costs or prices for consumers; 
individual industries; Federal, State, or local agencies; or geographic 
regions; or
    (3) Have significant adverse effects on competition, employment, 
investment, productivity, innovation, or on the ability of United 
States-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based enterprises in 
domestic and export markets.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The final supplementary rule will not impose an unfunded mandate on 
State, local, or Tribal governments or the private sector of more than 
$100 million per year; nor will it have a significant or unique effect 
on State, local, or Tribal governments or the private sector. 
Therefore, the BLM is not required to prepare a statement containing 
the

[[Page 103665]]

information required by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1531 
et seq.).

Governmental Actions and Interference With Constitutionally Protected 
Property Rights--Takings (E.O. 12630)

    The final supplementary rule does not constitute a government 
action capable of interfering with constitutionally protected property 
rights. The final supplementary rule does not address property rights 
in any form and will not cause the impairment of constitutionally 
protected property rights. Therefore, the BLM has determined that this 
final supplementary rule will not cause a ``taking'' of private 
property or require further discussion of takings implications under 
this Executive order.

Federalism (E.O. 13132)

    This final supplementary rule will 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 E.O.13132, the BLM has determined that this final 
supplementary rule does not have sufficient Federalism implications to 
warrant preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

Civil Justice Reform (E.O. 12988)

    Under E.O. 12988, the BLM has determined that this final 
supplementary rule will not unduly burden the judicial system and that 
it meets the requirements of Sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2).

Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments (E.O. 
13175 and Departmental Policy)

    In accordance with E.O. 13175, the BLM has found that this final 
supplementary rule does not include policies that have Tribal 
implications and will have no bearing on trust lands or on 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.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This final 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.

National Environmental Policy Act

    This final supplementary rule implements key decisions in the 
following RMPs: Colorado River Valley Field Office, Grand Junction 
Field Office, Kremmling Field Office, and Dominguez-Escalante NCA. The 
BLM's National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews for these 
management plans analyzed the effects of implementing the RMP decisions 
through a supplementary rule. The BLM prepared a Determination of NEPA 
Adequacy to confirm that the prior analyses and public comment 
processes were sufficient to inform the decision to establish this 
supplementary rule. Therefore, additional NEPA analysis is not 
required. Copies of the Environmental Impact Statements and RODs for 
each RMP and the Determination of NEPA Adequacy for this final 
supplementary rule are on file at the BLM offices (see ADDRESSES) and 
electronic copies are available online at https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/90071/510.

Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 
Distribution or Use (E.O. 13211)

    This final supplementary rule does not comprise a significant 
energy action. This final supplementary rule will not have an adverse 
effect on energy supply, production, or consumption and has no 
connection with energy policy.

Information Quality Act

    In developing this final supplementary rule, the BLM did not 
conduct or use a study, experiment, or survey requiring peer review 
under the Information Quality Act (Section 515 of Pub. L. 106-554).

Facilitation of Cooperative Conservation (E.O. 13352)

    In accordance with E.O. 13352, the BLM has determined that the 
final supplementary rule will not impede facilitating cooperative 
conservation; will take appropriate account of and consider the 
interests of persons with ownership or other legally recognized 
interests in land or other natural resources; will properly accommodate 
local participation in the Federal decision-making process; and will 
provide that the associated programs, projects, and activities are 
consistent with protecting public health and safety.
