Proposed Supplementary Rules for Public Land in Oregon and Washington

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Oregon State Office is proposing supplementary rules for public lands within the States of Oregon and Washington. These supplementary rules revise existing supplementary rules and will apply to all BLM managed lands within the States of Oregon and Washington. These revisions are necessary in order to protect public land natural resources and provide for the public’s health and safety, provide needed guidance in the areas of special forest products and recreation, allow for the assessment of penalties that are commensurate with the magnitude of prohibited acts, and promote consistency between the BLM and other natural resource agencies.

Comments on the proposed supplementary rules must be received or postmarked by November 20, 2009, to be assured consideration. In developing final supplementary rules, the BLM is not obligated to consider comments
postmarked or received in person or by electronic mail after this date.

You may mail or hand deliver comments to:

Office of Law Enforcement, BLM, Oregon State Office, P.O. Box 2965, Portland, Oregon 97208.

You may also comment via the Internet
e-mail address: ORWA_Prop_Rule@blm.gov. Include “Attn: Law Enforcement” in your subject line.
