SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Land Management has entered 
into a Block Management Agreement (BMA) with Page-Whitman Ranches of 
south Valley County, Montana, and the Montana Department of Fish, 
Wildlife, and Parks for the 1994 hunting season. The BMA has been 
expanded to include approximately 80,000 acres of private, state, and 
federal land. Private lands will have some road restrictions. The 
finalized version of the Judith/Valley/Phillips Resource Management 
Plan outlines seasonal vehicle travel routes on federal land which is 
in effect for the 1994 hunting season.
    Hunting within the described area will be subject to the following 
rules:

    1. Vehicles must stay on numbered roads. If no sign is visible, 
that road should be considered closed. All open roads are designated 
on the Block Management Area map.
    2. Off-road vehicle travel is prohibited. An exception to this 
rule will be allowed for the retrieval of downed big game animals 
only. You may be requested to return to the kill site by enforcement 
personnel. The most direct and least damaging route to your downed 
animal should be used.
    3. Camping is allowed on all BLM land (14 day limit) and at 
private land camping areas located at the Cottonwoods, the Square 
Butte Corrals, and the Timber Creek Camp.
    4. All gates should be left as found, unless signed as open or 
closed.
    5. Littering is prohibited.

    The Block Management area is described as all lands within the 
Square Creek, Desert Coulee, Taylor Coulee, Sheep Shed and Stone House 
pastures of the Carpenter Creek allotment. Legal description of the
