Public Lands Administered by the 

Bureau of Land Management Gila 

District and Safford Field Office, 

Graham County, AZ 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed Supplementary Rules. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) is proposing new 

supplementary rules for the Hot Well 

Dunes (HWD) Recreation Area, public 

lands managed by the Gila District and 

Safford Field Office in Graham County, 

Arizona. The rules relate to the health 

and safety of public land users and 

protection of natural resources. These 

supplementary rules will be enforced by 

BLM law enforcement rangers within 

the HWD Recreation Area. 

Proposed rules address vehicle rider 

capacity, clinging to or being towed by 

a vehicle, safety flags, vehicle use, 

public nudity, firearms, pets, speed 

limit, camping, waste disposal, and 

length of stay. All current 

supplementary rules will be rescinded 

and replaced by these revised rules for 

the HWD Recreation Area. 

DATES: We invite comments until 

December 15, 2008. In developing final 

rules, the BLM may not consider 

comments postmarked or received after 

this date. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be 

sent to the following address via regular 

mail or other delivery service: Bureau of 

Land Management, Safford Field Office, 

711 14th Avenue, Safford, Arizona 

85546. Comments may also be 

submitted via e-mail to 

Larry_Ramirez@blm.gov or faxed to 

928–348–4450. You may access the 

Federal eRulemaking Portal at http:// 

www.regulations.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ramirez, Law Enforcement Ranger,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Comment Procedures 

II. Background and Purpose 

III. Discussion of Supplementary Rules 

IV. Procedural Matters 

I. Comment Procedures 

Written comments on the proposed 

supplementary rules should be specific, 

confined to issues pertinent to the 

proposed supplementary rules, and 

should explain the reason for any 

recommended change. Where possible, 

comments should reference the specific 

section or paragraph of the rules that the 

comment is addressing. You may also 

access and comment on the proposed 

supplementary rules at the Federal 

eRulemaking Portal by following the 

instructions at that site (see ADDRESSES). 

The BLM need not consider or include 

in the Administrative Record for the 

final supplementary rules: (a) 

Comments that the BLM receives after 

the close of the comment period (see 

DATES), unless they are postmarked or 

electronically dated before the deadline, 

or (b) comments delivered to an address 

other than those listed above (see 

ADDRESSES). 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, be advised that your entire 

comment—including your personal 

identifying information—may be made 

publicly available at the Safford Field 

Office, 711 14th Avenue, Safford, 

Arizona 85546, during regular business 

hours (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.), Monday 

through Friday, except Federal holidays. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold from public review your 

personal identifying information, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. The BLM will make available for 

public inspection in their entirety all 

submissions from organizations, 

businesses, and government agencies, or 

from individuals identifying themselves 

as representatives or officials of such 

entities. 

II. Background and Purpose 

These proposed supplementary rules 

apply to the designated HWD Recreation 

Area, public lands administered by the 

Gila District and Safford Field Office. 

Due to increases in visitation at the 

HWD, the nature of the terrain and 

vegetation, and the types of vehicles in 

use, the following rules are proposed to 

reduce threats to public health, safety, 

and property. 

These supplementary rules will allow 

the BLM to increase law enforcement 

efforts that will help mitigate damage to 

natural resources and provide for public 

health and safe public recreation. 

III. Discussion of Supplementary Rules 

The Gila District/Safford Field Office 

proposes to rescind all prior 

supplementary rules for the HWD
