Notice of Proposed Supplementary 

Rules for the Upper Snake Field Office 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed 

supplementary rules. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) is proposing 

supplementary rules for public lands 

within the approximate 119 miles of 

river corridor addressed in the Snake 

River Activity and Operations Plan 2008

Plan is a joint BLM and U.S. Forest 

Service (USFS) Caribou-Targhee 

National Forest, Palisades Ranger 

District planning document, approved 

July 8, 2008. The Snake River Plan 

describes an array of management 

actions designed to conserve natural 

and cultural resources on lands 

managed by the BLM and the USFS, 

while providing for recreational 

opportunities in the area. These 

proposed supplementary rules would be 

enforced on lands managed by the BLM. 

DATES: You should submit your 

comments by September 30, 2010. 

Comments postmarked or received in 

person or by electronic mail after this 

date may not be considered in the

II. Background 

The Snake River Plan covers 

approximately 119 miles of river 

corridor in southeast Idaho, including 

the South Fork of the Snake River 

(South Fork) from Palisades Dam to the 

confluence with the Henry’s Fork of the 

Snake River (Henry’s Fork), the Henry’s 

Fork from St. Anthony to its confluence 

with the South Fork, and the main stem 

of the Snake River (Main Snake) from 

the confluence south to Market Lake 

Canal below Lewisville Knolls. A map 

is available at the BLM Upper Snake 

Field Office titled ‘‘The Snake River 

Planning Area.’’ 

The original Snake River Activity/ 

Operations Plan was published in 1991, 

but due to increased use, growing 

popularity of the rivers, population 

growth, increased environmental 

impacts, and changes in State and 

Federal regulations, an updated plan 

was needed. The Snake River Plan 

revision was completed in 2008 when 

the Record of Decision was signed and 

replaced the 1991 Snake River Plan. The 

updated Snake River Plan contains a 

series of standards and management 

objectives based on the delineation of 

the planning area into nine site-specific 

management classes. The plan identifies 

the implementation of an array of 

management actions for each of the 

classes designed to conserve natural and 

cultural resources, while providing for 

recreational opportunities in the area. 

The Snake River planning process 

gathered public scoping information 

using a variety of methods over a 3-year 

period. Initially, the BLM created 

traveling kiosks to provide information 

about the planning process. The kiosks 

were placed at key locations in the 

greater planning area. The kiosks 

contained comment cards that helped 

generate an interested public list. The 

BLM then distributed multiple mailings 

to over 1,000 people with each mailing 

and received comments concerning the 

management directions for the plan. The 

mailing list included all interested 

public who supplied their addresses 

during public scoping events, as well as 

South Fork season pass holders. The 

BLM staff hosted multiple public 

scoping meetings, presented the Snake 

River Plan to interested groups (e.g., 

local fishing clubs, county 

commissioners, water user groups), and 

received numerous comments. 

The BLM consulted the ShoshoneBannock Tribes over the course of the 

planning timeframe. Multiple scoping 

meetings with the Shoshone-Bannock 

Tribes Fort Hall Business Council, 

Environmental Management staff, and 

Fish and Wildlife staff were held. The 

BLM received tribal comments on the 

proposed management actions and 

recreation issues. In addition, the draft 

plan was reviewed by the ShoshoneBannock Tribes, and the BLM 

incorporated comments into the Final 

Snake River Plan. 

These supplementary rules will help 

the BLM achieve management objectives 

and implement the Plan’s decisions. 

These supplementary rules will also 

allow the BLM to increase law 

enforcement efforts that will help 

mitigate damage to natural resources, 

provide for public health, and provide 

for safe public recreation. 

III. Discussion of the Proposed 

Supplementary Rules 

The proposed supplementary rules 

apply to BLM-managed lands located 

along 119 miles of river corridor that 

have been analyzed in the Snake River 

Plan. These rules will implement 

management direction outlined in the 

Record of Decision signed on July 8, 

2008. Maps that pertain to the 

supplementary rules will be available at 

the BLM office in Idaho Falls. All 

management decisions are proposed 

under the authority of 43 CFR 8341.1, 

8364.1, 8365.1–4, and 9268.3. This 

notice, with detailed maps, will be 

posted at the BLM Upper Snake Field 

Office. 

Changes in recreation use, resource 

conflicts, Idaho Department of Fish and 

Game (IDF&G) regulations, listings 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
53336 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 168 / Tuesday, August 31, 2010 / Notices 

under the Endangered Species Act 

(ESA), and population growth have 

triggered the need for the BLM to 

implement the supplementary rules 

within the planning area defined in the 

Snake River Plan. The objectives of the 

Snake River Plan are to protect the 

natural settings, recreational values, 

geologic, wildlife and fisheries, and 

cultural values of public lands, while 

providing a safe and enjoyable 

experience to the public. Additionally, 

the supplementary rules will help 

maintain and improve environmental 

conditions (e.g., vegetation and riparian 

health) of developed and undeveloped 

recreation sites and facilities by 

identifying designated camping areas, 

parking areas and boat ramps; requiring 

fire pan use, and protecting wildlife 

species through human entry closures of 

winter range. These rules will also allow 

for the safety of BLM employees, 

volunteers, and the general public by 

eliminating contact with human waste 

and identifying target shooting areas. 

These rules will increase visitor safety, 

reduce human health and sanitation 

concerns, protect natural and cultural 

resources, and eliminate motorized and 

non-motorized impacts on sensitive 

riparian habitat. 

The Snake River Plan defines 

allowable uses and restricts certain 

activities in the planning area. These 

supplementary rules implement 

management actions identified in the 

Snake River Plan while allowing for 

management flexibility. For example, 

these rules restrict camping to 

designated sites, require the use of 

portable toilets, require the use of fire 

pans, restrict the collection of firewood, 

and prohibit human entry to critical 

wintering habitat and nesting locations, 

which is essential to providing 

maximum protection to the area’s native 

riparian vegetation, sensitive wildlife 

and plant species, and the 

Outstandingly Remarkable Values 

identified through the Wild and Scenic 

River Eligibility Study. In addition, 

these rules protect visitor health and 

safety while decreasing the likelihood of 

life-threatening accidents by prohibiting 

shooting in developed recreation 

facilities. Finally, the general travel and 

off-highway vehicle use portion of these 

rules will enhance user safety and 

protect critical resources. 

IV. Procedural Matters 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review 

These supplementary rules are not a 

significant regulatory action and are not 

subject to review by the Office of 

Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866. These rules will 

not have an effect of $100 million or 

more on the economy. These rules will 

not adversely affect in a material way 

the economy, productivity, competition, 

jobs, the environment, public health or 

safety, or State, local, or tribal 

governments or communities. These 

rules will not create a serious 

inconsistency or otherwise interfere 

with an action taken or planned by 

another agency. These rules do not 

materially alter the budgetary effects of 

entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan 

programs, or the rights or obligations of 

their recipients; nor do they raise novel 

legal or policy issues. These 

supplementary rules will not affect legal 

commercial activity, but merely restrict 

or prohibit, in a reasonable manner, 

certain public conduct and uses of a 

limited area of public lands. 

Clarity of the Supplementary Rules 

Executive Order 12866 requires each 

agency to write regulations that are 

simple and easy to understand. We 

invite comments on how to make these 

supplementary rules easier to 

understand, including answers to 

questions such as the following: 

(1) Are the requirements in the 

proposed supplementary rules clearly 

stated? 

(2) Do the proposed supplementary 

rules contain technical language or 

jargon that interferes with their clarity? 

(3) Does the format of the proposed 

supplementary rules (grouping and 

order of sections, use of headings, 

paragraphing, etc.) aid or reduce its 

clarity? 

(4) Would the proposed 

supplementary rules be easier to 

understand if they were divided into 

more (but shorter) sections? 

(5) Is the description of the proposed 

supplementary rules in the ‘‘Discussion 

of Proposed Supplementary Rules’’ 

section of this preamble helpful in 

understanding these proposed 

supplementary rules? How could this 

description be more helpful in making 

the proposed supplementary rules easier 

to understand? 

Please send any comments you have 

on the clarity of the proposed 

supplementary rules to the address 

specified in the ADDRESSES section. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

The BLM and USFS prepared an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) (ID– 

310–2006–EA–3398) for the Snake River 

Activity/Operations Plan Revision, and 

found that the management direction 

implementing the plan decisions will 

not constitute a major Federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment under Section 

102(2)(C) of the National Environmental 

Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 

4332(2)(C). The BLM has placed the EA, 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI), and Decision Record on file in 

the BLM Administrative Record at the 

address specified in the ‘‘ADDRESSES’’ 

section. The EA and FONSI are also 

located on the following BLM Upper 

Snake Field Office Web site: http:// 

www.blm.gov/id/st/en/fo/ 

upper_snake.html. 

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 

would have a significant economic 

impact, either detrimental or beneficial, 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. These rules conserve natural 

and cultural resources and protect 

public health and safety, while 

providing for recreational opportunities 

in the area. Therefore, the BLM has 

determined under the RFA that these 

rules would not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act (SBREFA) 

These supplementary rules do not 

constitute a major rule as defined at 

5 U.S.C. 804(2). These rules merely 

protect public health and safety and 

conserve natural and cultural resources, 

while providing for recreational 

opportunities in the area and do 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 

government 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 foreignbased enterprises in domestic and 

export markets. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

These supplementary rules do not 

impose an unfunded mandate on State, 

local, or tribal governments or the 

private sector of more than $100 million 

per year; nor do these supplementary 

rules have a significant or unique effect 

on State, local, or tribal governments or 

the private sector. These supplementary 

rules have no effect on State, local, or 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 168 / Tuesday, August 31, 2010 / Notices 53337 

tribal governments and do not impose 

any requirements on any of these 

entities. These supplementary rules 

merely impose reasonable limitations or 

prohibitions on certain public conduct 

and uses of a limited area of public 

lands. These rules will conserve natural 

and cultural resources, and protect 

public health and safety, while 

providing for recreational opportunities 

in the area. Therefore, the BLM has 

determined that a statement containing 

the information required by the 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(2 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) is not required. 

Executive Order 12630, Governmental 

Actions and Interference With 

Constitutionally Protected Property 

Rights (Takings) 

These supplementary rules do not 

represent a government action capable 

of interfering with constitutionally 

protected property rights. The 

supplementary rules do not address 

property rights in any form, and do not 

cause the impairment of one’s property 

rights. Therefore, the BLM has 

determined that these supplementary 

rules would not cause a ‘‘taking’’ of 

private property or require further 

discussion of takings implications under 

this Executive Order. 

Executive Order 13132, Federalism 

These supplementary rules 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. These 

supplementary rules do not conflict 

with any Idaho State law or regulation. 

Therefore, in accordance with Executive 

Order 13132, the BLM has determined 

that these supplementary rules do not 

have sufficient Federalism implications 

to warrant preparation of a Federalism 

Assessment. 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform 

Under Executive Order 12988, the 

Idaho State Office of the BLM has 

determined that these supplementary 

rules would not unduly burden the 

judicial system and that they meet the 

requirements of sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) 

of the Order. 

Executive Order 13175, Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

In accordance with Executive Order 

13175, the BLM has found that these 

supplementary rules do not include 

policies that have tribal implications. 

Government-to-government consultation 

was conducted with the ShoshoneBannock Tribes. 

Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use 

These supplementary rules do not 

comprise a significant energy action. 

These rules will not have an adverse 

effect on energy supply, production, or 

consumption and have no connection 

with energy policy. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

The supplementary rules do 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 et seq.

Supplementary Rules for the Planning 

Area Identified in the Snake River 

Activity and Operations Plan 

For the reasons stated in the Preamble 

and under the authority of FLPMA, 43 

U.S.C. 1733(a) and 43 CFR 8365.1–6, the 

Upper Snake Field Office, Bureau of 

Land Management (BLM) proposes to 

issue supplementary rules for BLM 

lands covered by the Snake River Plan, 

to read as follows: 

1. Firearms and Target Shooting 

a. The discharge of any weapons (i.e., 

projectiles, firearms, muzzleloaders), 

including those used for target shooting, 

within the boundaries or within 250 

yards of developed recreation sites or 

areas is prohibited. Boundaries are 

defined by perimeter fences and/or the 

gravel or asphalted parking areas and 

site roads. Developed recreation site 

boundaries are identified by maps and/ 

or legal descriptions available at the 

BLM Upper Snake Field Office and at 

the following Web site: (http:// 

www.blm.gov/id/st/en/fo/upper_snake/ 

recreation_sites_html). All firearm and 

target shooting rules will apply to new 

recreation sites as they are developed. 

b. The discharge of weapons of any 

kind is prohibited year-round on BLM 

lands at North Menan Butte (i.e., all 

trails, parking areas, or any BLM lands 

on the slopes and crater of the butte). 

c. Any object containing glass or other 

material that can shatter and cause a 

public safety hazard must not be used 

for target shooting. 

d. All shooting materials, including 

spent brass or shells, their containers, 

and any items used as targets, must be 

removed and properly disposed of. 

2. Length of Stay 

All camping within the planning area 

is subject to a 5-day camping limit 

within any period of 19 consecutive 

days. The 5-day limit may be reached 

either through 5 separate visits or 5 days 

of continuous occupation during the 

19-day period. After the 5-day limit has 

been reached, campers must move 

outside of a 20-mile radius of the 

previous location and not return to that 

location for 14 days. Exceeding length of 

stay limits, as indicated by a BLM sign 

or map, is prohibited. 

3. Camping 

a. You must only camp in sites or 

areas designated as open to camping by 

a BLM sign or map. 

b. Camp Areas Accessed by Vehicle or 

by Foot Travel: At the Kelly Island 

Campground and Wolf Flats Recreation 

Area visitors must camp in designated 

sites identified by a fire ring and/or 

picnic table. Camping outside of the 

boundaries defined by barriers such as 

post and cable or buck and pole fence 

is prohibited. As undeveloped camping 

areas within the Upper Snake Field 

Office are developed by the BLM 

through the addition of fire rings, 

restrooms, picnic tables, etc., visitors 

must camp in identified designated sites 

at the developed camping locations. 

c. Camp Areas Accessed by Floating/ 

Boating: You must camp in designated 

sites identified by a sign or map 

between Palisades Dam and Byington 

boat access. You must camp in 

designated sites along the rest of the 

river corridor as they become 

designated. 

d. You must not leave personal 

belongings overnight in an unattended 

campsite. 

e. You must keep campsites free of 

trash, litter and debris during the period 

of occupancy. 

f. You must remove all personal 

equipment and clean campsites upon 

departure. 

g. You must not camp within a 400- 

meter radius of active Bald Eagle nests, 

which are indicated by a BLM sign or 

map. Areas within a 400-meter radius of 

active Bald Eagle nests are closed to 

human entry from February 1 to July 31 

each year. 

These rules supersede the Notice of 

Seasonal Restrictions and Limited Land 

Use, Closure Order, Idaho that the BLM 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 18, 1992 (57 FR 27264). 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
53338 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 168 / Tuesday, August 31, 2010 / Notices 

4. Permits 

You must complete and possess a selfissue permit when using overnight 

designated campsites that are 

exclusively accessed by boat. Visitors 

are required to provide one completed 

copy for the BLM and maintain an 

additional copy throughout their 

overnight camping trip. These rules 

supersede the Notice of Sanitation and 

Special Recreation Permit Requirements 

on the South Fork of the Snake River 

which the BLM published in the 

Federal Register on April 20, 1995 (60 

FR 19762). 

5. Human Waste Disposal 

a. You must remove solid human 

waste and toilet paper from the 119-mile 

river corridor. You must use a human 

waste carryout system (e.g., sealable 

portable toilet, or a landfill approved 

biodegradable double bag system). The 

landfill approved biodegradable system 

must be made from puncture resistant 

materials and contain non-toxic powder 

and decay catalyst that breaks down 

solid waste and turns liquid waste to a 

solid for hygienic and spill-proof 

transport. 

Rule 5(a) does not apply where waste 

disposal facilities are provided (e.g., 

Kelly Island Campground and Wolf 

Flats Recreation Area). 

b. Any portable toilet system must be 

reusable, washable, water-tight, and 

portable toilet and/or RV-dump 

compatible. Portable toilets with snapon lids, such as ammo cans or plastic 

buckets, are required to have a rubber 

gasket to prevent leaks and spills. 

Plastic bag liners are not acceptable 

with the exception of a landfill 

approved biodegradable double bag 

system addressed in Rule 5(a). 

These rules supersede the Notice of 

Sanitation and Special Recreation 

Permit Requirements on the South Fork 

of the Snake River which the BLM 

published in the Federal Register on 

April 20, 1995 (60 FR 19762). 

6. Campfires and Wood Collecting 

a. You must not cut any trees for 

commercial or private use. You must 

not remove branches and other parts of 

the trees that are still attached to the 

tree unless a BLM permit is issued. 

b. You must only collect dead and 

downed wood for campfires in 

reasonable amounts. The collected 

reasonable amount is determined by the 

amount an average person could haul or 

carry without the use of a machine. 

c. Girdling (making a band around the 

trunk of a tree by removing a strip of 

bark) or damaging trees in the planning 

area is prohibited. The use of chainsaws 

is prohibited. 

d. Fire Pan and Ash Removal: An 

approved fire pan is a durable, metal 

pan at least 12-inches x 12-inches wide, 

with at least a 1.5-inch lip around its 

outer edge and sufficient to contain a 

fire and its remains. Visitors must 

elevate fire pans off the ground to 

prevent scorching of the soil. If the fire 

pan does not have legs to elevate it, 

rocks must be placed underneath the 

corners of the fire pan. All ash must be 

removed and carried out of the river 

corridor in a sealed container or durable 

bag. 

e. Camp Areas Accessed by Vehicle or 

by Foot Travel: Unless the BLM installs 

a fire ring, you must use a fire pan and 

carry out all ash from undeveloped 

dispersed camping sites. All fires must 

be fully contained in a metal fire grate, 

fire pan, or other metal device to 

contain ashes. Mechanical stoves and 

other appliances that are fueled by gas 

and equipped with a valve that allows 

the operator to control the flame are 

allowed. 

f. You must not start or maintain a fire 

in sites or areas not designated as open 

for such use by a BLM sign or map. 

g. Camp Areas Accessed by Floating/ 

Boating: You must use a fire pan and 

carry out all ash prior to abandoning the 

site. 

h. When starting or maintaining a fire 

outside of a developed recreation site, 

you must contain and dispose of fire 

ashes and debris as indicated by a BLM 

sign or map. 

i. You must not burn wood or other 

material containing nails, glass, or any 

metal. 

7. General Travel Management 

a. You must not enter an area 

designated closed by a BLM sign or map 

by means of motorized vehicle, 

including off-highway vehicles (OHVs). 

The open roads in the planning area are 

located within the developed recreation 

site boundaries that are identified by 

maps and/or legal descriptions available 

at the BLM Upper Snake Field Office 

and at the following Web site: http:// 

www.blm.gov/id/st/en/fo/upper_snake/ 

recreation_sites.html. The site roads and 

trails are also shown on these maps. 

b. Roads and trails must only be used 

when designated as open by the BLM 

sign or map. You must only access such 

roads and trails by an allowable method 

of travel as indicated by a BLM sign or 

map. Rule 7(b) does not apply to holders 

of BLM-issued rights-of-way for 

maintenance or administrative 

purposes. 

c. From December 1 through April 30, 

the Stinking Springs Trail and parts of 

the upper bench adjacent to the Wolf 

Flats Recreation Area are closed to 

human and vehicle entry without a 

permit to protect wintering big game. 

BLM closure maps are available at the 

BLM Upper Snake Field Office. Outside 

of the closure period, the motorized 

portion of trail is open to all modes of 

travel, except snow vehicles and 

vehicles more than 50 inches wide. The 

legal description for the closure is: 

Boise Meridian, Idaho
