HOUR AFTER SUNSET TO ONE HOUR BEFORE SUNRISE in accordance with 
regulations contained in 43 CFR subpart 8364.1(a). This closure shall 
apply only to those lands included in the Off-Highway Vehicle staging 
areas. These staging areas are located at the Knoxville and South Cow 
Mountain Recreation Areas. Each staging area will occupy ten acres of 
public land.
    This ``Day Use Only'' policy will apply to the Oakwood Springs 
Staging Area T. 14 N., R. 11 W., Section 3, SW\1/4\NW\1/4\NW\1/4\,

any peace officers, firefighters, or any other emergency service 
personnel while in the performance of their duties. Exemption to this 
closure may be granted to groups or individuals by permit from BLM.

DATE: This Closure of Public Lands will become effective immediately.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These Staging areas were exclusively 
constructed with ``Day Use Only'' activities in mind. No overnight 
accommodations were constructed. The nocturnal closure of these areas 
is necessary to reduce vandalism, excessive public drinking, and 
inappropriate uses which have been occurring after dark. The Bureau of 
Land Management will continue to manage these areas for daylight 
recreational activities. These Staging areas will be posted ``Day Use 
Only'', closed ONE HOUR AFTER SUNSET TO ONE HOUR BEFORE SUNRISE. These 
supplementary regulations on nocturnal closure do not supersede 
regulations already established. Violations of these supplementary 
regulations under authority of 43 CFR 8364.1(a) are subject to a fine 
not to exceed $1,000 and/or imprisonment not to exceed 12 months.
