Occupancy and Camping Stay Limit; Coos Bay District, OR

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of occupancy and camping stay limit for campgrounds and 
undeveloped public lands administered by the Coos Bay District, OR.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This occupancy and camping stay limit applies to designated 
campgrounds and to undeveloped Bureau of Land Management administered 
public lands within the Coos Bay District, Oregon, that are not closed 
to camping or regulated under different stay limitations as a result of 
a separate Federal Register Notice. Persons may camp or occupy any 
specific location on these public lands for a period of not more than 
14-days within any period of 28 consecutive days. The 28-day period 
will begin when a person initially occupies a specific location on 
public land. The 14-day limit may be reached through a number of 
separate visits or through 14 days of continuous occupation during the 
28-day period. After the 14-day stay limit is reached, occupants must 
move with all of their personal possessions and cannot camp on BLM-
administered lands within a 10-mile radius of the previous location.
    For purposes of this notice, camping is defined as the erection and 
use of tents or shelters of natural or synthetic material, preparing a 
sleeping bag or bedding material for use, mooring a vessel, or parking 
a vehicle or trailer for the apparent purpose of occupancy. Occupancy 
is defined as the taking, maintaining or holding possession of a camp 
or residence on public land, either by personal presence or leaving 
property at a location.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 15, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dennis Turowski, Outdoor Recreation 
Planner, Bureau of Land Management, Coos Bay District, 1300 Airport 
Lane, North Bend, Oregon 97459, (503) 756-0100.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This occupancy and camping stay limit is 
being established to provide consistency and uniformity for the camping 
public on Bureau of Land Management-administered lands in the Coos Bay 
District, Oregon, and to assist the Bureau in: preventing persons from 
camping for excessively long periods, thereby denying recreation 
opportunities to others; preventing or reducing the incidence of 
unauthorized, long-term occupancy of public lands under the guise of 
camping; and minimizing unacceptable sanitary conditions and other 
resource impacts.
    Authority for this stay limit is contained in CFR Title 43, Chapter 
II part 8360, subparts 8364.1 and 8365.1-2(a). Violations of the 
supplementary rules under authority of 43 CFR 8365.1-2 are subject to a 
fine not to exceed $1,000 and/or imprisonment not to exceed 12 months.

    Dated: February 15, 1994.
M. Lee Douthit,
Acting District Manager, Coos Bay.
