Notice for Public Comment, Proposed

Supplementary Rule Affecting Public

Lands Within the Barstow Resource

Area; California

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

United States Department of the

Interior.

ACTION: This notice proposes to

establish a supplementary rule

regarding recreational shooting within

the Barstow Resource Area, Bureau of

Land Management. This proposed

supplementary rule requires that, on

Public Lands within the Barstow

Resource Area, in areas permitted by

San Bernardino County Ordinance

22.011 for legal recreational target

shooting of rifles, handguns and

shotgun slugs, no person shall fire,

shoot or discharge a firearm at any

object other than a retrievable paper

silhouette or bulls-eye target or a firearm

target constructed of plate iron or plate

steel such as an iron silhouette, knockdown or spinner target.

SUMMARY: In accordance with title 43,

Code of Federal Regulations § 8365.1–6,

the State Director may establish

supplementary rules in order to provide

for the protection of persons, property,

and public lands and resources. This

authority was delegated to the District

and Area managers pursuant to BLM

Manual 1203, California Supplement.

Copies of the final supplementary rule

would be made available at the local

BLM office, the supplementary rule

would be published in local newspapers

upon the effective date, and affected

lands within the Barstow Resource Area

would be posted.

PENALTIES: Failure to comply with this

supplementaty rule would be

punishable by a fine not to exceed

$100,000 and/or imprisonment not to

exceed 12 months.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

supplementary rule was proposed to

deter and prevent the accumulation of

household refuse and trash which is

being deposited on these Public Lands

by a significant portion of recreational

shooters. Shooters on public lands have

used as targets and then discarded old

television sets, glass bottles, propane gas

cylinders, and other similiar items and,

as a result, have adversely impacted the

quality of these public lands. These

types of discarded targets pose a

significant public safety threat and

cause unsightly litter. This

supplementary rule will not infringe

upon Constitutional rights of an

individual to own or possess lawful

firearms. This supplementary rule does

not impact or effect lawful hunting of

wild birds or game. All shooters will be

responsible to retrieve and properly

dispose of their targets and spent shells

upon leaving Public Lands.

DATES FOR COMMENTS: Comments will be

accepted by the Barstow Resource Area

for thirty (30) days following this

publication. A final rule which replies

to comments and/or amends the rule

will be published within thirty (30) days

after the comment period has expired.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent

to: United States Department of the

Interior, Bureau of Land Management,

Barstow Resource Area, 150 Coolwater

Lane, Barstow, CA 92311, Attention:

Tim Read, Area Manager.
