SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

3501–3521) and OMB regulations at 5 

CFR 1320 provide that an agency may 

not conduct or sponsor a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

Until the OMB approves a collection of 

information, you are not obligated to 

respond. In order to obtain and renew 

an OMB control number, Federal 

agencies are required to seek public 

comment on information collection and 

recordkeeping activities. (see 5 CFR 

1320.8 (d) and 1320.12(a)). 

As required at 5 CFR 1320.8(d), the 

BLM published a 60-day notice in the 

Federal Register on June 11, 2014 (79 

FR 33592) and the comment period 

closed on August 11, 2014. The BLM 

received one public comment. The 

comment was a general invective about 

the Federal government, the Department 

of the Interior, the BLM, and Federal 

employees. It did not address, and was 

not germane to, this information 

collection. Therefore, we have not 

changed the collection in response to 

the comment. 

The BLM now requests comments on 

the following subjects: 

1. Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

functioning of the BLM, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

2. The accuracy of the BLM’s estimate 

of the burden of collecting the 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

3. The quality, utility and clarity of 

the information to be collected; and 

4. How to minimize the information 

collection burden on those who are to 

respond, including the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other forms of 

information technology. 

Please send comments to the 

addresses listed under ADDRESSES. 

Please refer to OMB Control Number 

1004–0137 in your correspondence. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.

Proposed Supplementary Rules for the 

Castle Rocks Land Use Plan 

Amendment Area, Idaho 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed 

supplementary rules. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) is proposing 

supplementary rules for all BLMadministered public lands within an 

approximately 400-acre area in Idaho 

known as Castle Rocks. The BLM 

addressed this area in the November 

2013 Cassia Resource Management Plan 

(CRMP) Amendment and Record of 

Decision (ROD). The CRMP amendment 

made implementation-level decisions 

designed to conserve natural and 

cultural resources while providing for 

recreational opportunities. These 

supplementary rules would allow the 

BLM and law enforcement partners to 

enforce those decisions. 

DATES: Interested parties may submit 

written comments regarding the 

proposed supplementary rules until 

December 15, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by mail, electronic mail, or handdelivery. Mail or Hand Delivery: Dennis 

Thompson, Outdoor Recreation Planner, 

Bureau of Land Management, Burley 

Field Office, 15 East 200 South, Burley, 

ID 83318. email: blm_id_

Dennis Thompson, Outdoor Recreation 

Planner, at 208–677–6664 or by email at 

dthompson@blm.gov. Persons who use a

Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–800–877–8339

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

II. Public Comment Procedures 

III. Discussion of Proposed Supplementary 

Rules 

IV. Procedural Matters 

I. Background 

Castle Rocks is a dramatic geologic 

area located in the southern Albion 

Mountain Range of Cassia County, 

Idaho. Castle Rocks consists primarily of 

quartz-monzonite, a type of granite 

associated with the Almo Pluton. 

Pinnacles and monoliths, towering over 

400 feet in local relief, characterize the 

area. Castle Rocks currently contains 

near pristine cultural and natural 

resources. 

Until 2003, a difficult and lengthy 

hike from Stines Pass was the only way 

for the public to reach Castle Rocks, due 

to the unique ownership pattern and 

geography of the surrounding lands. 

This limited access helped preserve rare 

resources that are of great importance to 

the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes of Fort 

Hall and the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of 

Duck Valley. Castle Rocks became less 

isolated after passage of the Castle Rock 

Ranch Acquisition Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 

106–421), which authorized the 

National Park Service (NPS) to purchase 

a private ranch that provided 

convenient public access on the east 

side of the geologic area. After the 

acquisition, the NPS exchanged the 

property with the Idaho Department of 

Parks and Recreation (IDPR) for other 

lands adjacent to existing NPS 

properties. 

Since May 25, 2003, the IDPR has 

provided park facilities and has 

managed recreation at Castle Rocks. 

Starting in 2003, the BLM has protected 

the 400-acre parcel that is under its 

management by issuing a series of 

temporary closure orders prohibiting 

rock climbing, camping, staging, and 

trail building. In 2012, the BLM 

determined that amending the CRMP 

was necessary to properly manage the 

area. The decision in the CRMP was to 

close the area permanently to rock 

climbing, camping, staging, and trail 

building. This decision was made to 

protect significant cultural resources 

that were, or had the potential to be, 

adversely impacted by these activities. 

The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes of Fort 

Hall and the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of 

Duck Valley consider the area a sacred 

site and have requested the assistance of 

the Burley Field Office in nominating
