SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This area has a history of an unusual number 
of law enforcement incidents. Both the BLM and the El Dorado Sheriff's 
Department receives a large number of complaints from the public 
concerning activities occurring in this area. These activities became 
such a concern to the adjacent residents that they organized a public 
meeting with county and BLM officials. The purpose of these rules are 
to allow appropriate use of the public lands and provide for the 
protection of the public and the resources.

    Authority for supplemental rules is contained in Title 43 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations, subpart 8364.1.
