new contract. Prospective new 

concessioners for this contract will be 

required to pay the previous 

concessioner its ending LSI value. 

Accordingly, the significantly lower 

ending LSI value under the final LSI 

alternative, in contrast to the 

significantly higher ending LSI value as 

proposed by the commenter, lowers the 

entry cost to prospective new 

concessioners and thereby encourages 

the submission of competitive proposals 

in future solicitations. 

2. Comment: A concerned citizen 

commented to the effect that the new 

contract should not be trusted and that 

Government contracts should be shut 

down because they always prove 

detrimental to the public. 

Response: NPS considers the new 

contract to be in the public interest and 

in furtherance of the NPS mission to 

preserve and protect areas of the 

national park system while making 

them available for public enjoyment. 

Public Availability of Further 

Information 

Complete details and further 

explanation of the final LSI alternative 

are publically available at http:// 

www.nps.gov/commercialservices/. NPS 

will amend the prospectus by public 

notice in FedBizOpp.gov in order to 

implement the final LSI alternative. 

This Federal Register notice regarding 

the LSI alternative, although not 

required, was issued in order to provide 

the public a complete understanding of 

the NPS alternative LSI authority 

(exercised for the first time in this 

transaction).

Notice of Temporary Closure for Lands 

West of North Menan Butte, Idaho 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management; 

Idaho Falls District, Upper Snake Field 

Office, Idaho. 

ACTION: Temporary closure. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a 

temporary closure will apply to 

approximately 1,800 acres of public 

lands administered by the Bureau of 

Land Management (BLM) Upper Snake 

Field Office, Idaho. This same area has 

been closed to target shooting and fullsize vehicles for the past 3 years to 

prevent illegal dumping and littering, 

including hazardous materials. This 

closure will be in effect for 24 months, 

to allow completion of a resource 

management plan (RMP), which will 

provide permanent management 

direction for the area. During the 

temporary closure, the 1,800 acres will 

continue to be open to human entry by 

foot and by horse. Off-road vehicles are 

allowed entry but will be required to 

stay on developed roads and trails. Any 

person who fails to comply with a 

closure or restriction order issued under 

this authority may be subject to the 

penalties described in 43 CFR 

8360.0–7. 

DATES: This temporary closure will be 

effective on the date this notice is 

published in the Federal Register and 

will remain in effect for 24 months from 

the date of publication or until 

rescinded or modified by the authorized 

officer or designated Federal officer. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The 

Upper Snake Field Office, 1405

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Annually, 

the BLM buries or removes between 20 

and 50 dumped dead animals and 

approximately 10 tons of solid waste 

from public lands near North Menan 

Butte, a National Natural Landmark and 

an Area of Critical Environmental 

Concern. The waste originates when the 

public brings propane tanks, hot water 

heaters, computers, televisions, 

washers, dryers, car batteries, paint 

cans, and other waste objects and leaves 

them on the public lands. Target 

shooters shoot at this waste, leaving 

shell casings littering the landscape. 

This area is now a health and safety 

hazard due to the dumping, shooting, 

and the potential for disease 

transmission from uncovered dead 

animal carcasses. This waste has also 

included hazardous materials in recent 

years. During the temporary closure, the 

1,800 acres will continue to be open to 

human entry by foot and by horse. Offroad vehicles are allowed entry but will 

be required to stay on developed roads 

and trails. 

The following public lands are 

included in the closure: 

Boise Meridian, Idaho 

T. 6 N., R. 38 E., 

Section 27 (all) in Madison County, 

Sections 28 (parts) in Jefferson County, and 

T. 5 N., R. 38 E.,

County. 

Sections 28 (parts) in Jefferson County, and 

T. 5 N., R. 38 E., 

Sections 4 (all) and 5 (parts) in Jefferson 

County. 

Signs will be placed on the highway 

and at the site explaining the road and 

target shooting closures. Fences and 

road barriers will be maintained that 

allow for continued access by offhighway vehicles, motorcycles, 

equestrian use, and foot traffic in the 

southern portion. The closure order and 

related map will also be posted at the 

Upper Snake River Field Office, 1405 

Hollipark Drive, Idaho Falls, Idaho 

83401, and can also be viewed online at: 

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

upper_snake.html. This closure is 

established and administered by the 

BLM under the authority of 43 CFR 

8360, and complies with 43 CFR 8364.1 

(Closures and Restrictions). 

Exemptions: Persons who are exempt 

from this restriction include any 

Federal, State or local officer or 

employee acting within the scope of 

their duties; members of any organized 

rescue or fire-fighting force in the 

performance of an official duty; and any 

person holding written authorization 

from the BLM. 

Penalties: Under Section 303(a) of the 

Federal Land Policy and Management 

Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1733(a)) and 43 

CFR 8360.0–7, any person who fails to 

comply with this closure may be tried 

before a United States Magistrate and 

fined up to $1,000 or imprisoned for no 

more than 12 months. Violators may 

also be subject to the enhanced fines 

provided for in 18 U.S.C. 3571.
