Lane, North Bend, Oregon 97459, (503) 756-0100.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These site specific camping stay limits and 
day-use restrictions are being established to assist the Bureau in: 
preventing persons from camping for excessively long periods, thereby 
denying recreation opportunities to others; and minimizing unacceptable 
sanitary conditions and other resource impacts.
    Authority for these supplementary rules 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.
