4th Street, El Centro, California, 92243.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Since most desert visitors use motorized 
vehicles to engage in desert activites, a suitable vehicle 
transportation network is crucial to their needs. Access for desert use 
and enjoyment needs to be provided while at the same time natural 
resources are protected. Access outside of motorized vehicle ``open'' 
areas is managed through the Vehicle Route Designation Process. This 
was initiated on adoption of the California Desert Conservation Area 
Plan and is described in the Motorized Vehicle Access Element. The El 
Centro Resource Area is updating its vehicle designations for Public 
Lands in Eastern San Diego County and in Imperial County those Public 
Lands west of a line along the Chocolate Mountains Aerial Gunnery Range 
and the east side of the Imperial Sand Dunes.
