The public closure area comprises 

9,445 acres, more or less. 

The closure and temporary 

restrictions are necessary to provide a 

safe environment for the participants of 

the Burning Man Festival and to 

members of the public visiting the Black 

Rock Desert and to protect public land 

resources by addressing law 

enforcement and public safety concerns 

associated with the Burning Man 

Festival. The Burning Man Festival is 

held on public lands administered by 

the Bureau of Land Management. It is 

expected to attract approximately 

48,000 participants to a remote rural 

area, far from urban infrastructure and 

support, including law enforcement, 

public safety, transportation, and 

communication services. During the 

festival the associated city becomes the 

tenth largest metropolitan area in 

Nevada. This event is authorized on 

public lands under Special Recreation 

Permit #NV–025–06–01. 

The vast majority of Burning Man 

Festival participants do not cause any 

problems for the event organizers or the 

BLM. Actions by a few participants at 

previous events have resulted in law 

enforcement and public safety incidents 

similar to those observed in urban areas 

of similar size. Incidents that have 

required BLM law enforcement action in 

prior years include the following: 

Aircraft crashes; motor vehicle 

accidents with injuries within and 

outside the event (a temporary fence is 

installed around the event perimeter); 

fighting; sexual assaults; assaults on law 

enforcement officers; reckless or 

threatening behavior; crimes against 

property; crowd control issues; issues 

associated with possession and use of 

alcoholic beverages; persons acting in a 

manner where they may pose a danger 

to themselves or to others; possession, 

use, and distribution of controlled 

substances; and increased use of public 

lands outside the event perimeter. 

The Burning Man Festival takes place 

within Pershing County, a rural county 

with a small population and a small 

Sheriff’s Department. The county has 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 167 / Monday, August 30, 2010 / Notices 52973 

limited ability to provide additional law 

enforcement officers to work at the 

Festival. The temporary closure and the 

temporary restrictions are necessary to 

enable BLM law enforcement personnel 

to provide for public safety and protect 

the environment on public lands, as 

well as support state and local law 

enforcement agencies with enforcement 

of existing laws. 

A temporary closure and restriction 

order, under the authority of 43 CFR 

8364.1, is used because it is more 

appropriate than establishing 

Supplementary Rules. A temporary 

closure and restriction order is 

specifically tailored to the time frame 

and restrictions on uses or activities that 

are necessary to provide a safe 

environment for the public and for 

participants in the Burning Man 

Festival, and protect public land 

resources, while avoiding imposing 

restrictions that may not be necessary 

during the remainder of the year. 

The BLM will post information signs 

about the temporary restrictions at main 

entry points around the area. This 

temporary restriction order also will be 

posted in the BLM Winnemucca District 

Office. Maps of the affected area and 

other documents associated with these 

temporary restrictions are available at 

the Winnemucca District Office at the 

address above. 

Under the authority of Section 303(a) 

of the Federal Land Policy and 

Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 

1733 (a)), 43 CFR 8360.0–7, and 43 CFR 

8364.1, the BLM will enforce the 

following closures and restrictions 

within and adjacent to the Burning Man 

Festival on the Black Rock Desert playa:

medical services may land in other

under the influence. 

(a) Title 43 CFR 8341.1(f)3 prohibits 

the operation of an off-road motor 

vehicle on public land while under the 

influence of alcohol, narcotics, or 

dangerous drugs. 

(b) In addition to the prohibition 

found in 43 CFR 8341.1(f)3, it is 

prohibited for any person to operate or 

be in actual physical control of a motor 

vehicle while: 

(1) The operator is under the 

combined influence of alcohol, a drug, 

or drugs to a degree that renders the 

operator incapable of safe operation of 

that vehicle; or 

(2) The alcohol concentration in the 

operator’s blood or breath is 0.08 grams 

or more of alcohol per 100 milliliters of 

blood or 0.08 grams or more of alcohol

(c) Tests: 

(1) At the request or direction of any 

law enforcement officer authorized by

has probable cause to believe that an 

operator of a motor vehicle has violated 

a provision of paragraph (a) or (b) of this 

section, the operator shall submit to one 

or more tests of the blood, breath, saliva, 

or urine for the purpose of determining

using accepted scientific methods and 

equipment of proven accuracy and 

reliability operated by personnel 

certified in its use.

(1) The results of chemical or other 

quantitative tests are intended to 

supplement the elements of probable 

cause used as the basis for the arrest of 

an operator charged with a violation of 

paragraph (a) of this section. If the 

alcohol concentration in the operator’s 

blood or breath at the time of testing is 

less than alcohol concentrations 

specified in paragraph (b)(2) of this 

section, this fact does not give rise to 

any presumption that the operator is or 

is not under the influence of alcohol. 

(2) The provisions of paragraph (d)(1) 

of this section are not intended to limit 

the introduction of any other competent 

evidence bearing upon the question of 

whether the operator, at the time of the 

alleged violation, was under the 

influence of alcohol, a drug or multiple 

drugs, or any combination thereof. 

4. Definitions:
