Notice of Prohibited Acts in the Lakeview District, Bureau of 
Land Management

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management.

SUMMARY: The Lakeview District is publishing certain closures and 
restrictions for the purpose of establishing a supplemental rule for 
the protection of persons and resources. Pursuant to 43 CFR 8365.1-6, 
all camping within 300 feet of any water source is prohibited, except 
where designated. Water sources are defined, for this rule, as any 
fenced spring exclosure, flowing spring, or man-made metal or concrete 
water tank/trough. Camping is defined, for this rule, as any 
establishment of occupancy on public lands in the Lakeview Resource 
Area. The intent of this rule is (1) to protect water sources from 
overuse and pollution, and (2) to provide free and unimpeded access for 
wildlife who are dependent on these water sources in a dry, desert 
environment.

AUTHORITY AND PENALTIES: Authority for this penalty is found in 43 CFR 
8365.1-6 and section 303(a) of the Federal Land Policy and Management 
Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1733(a)). Any person who violates this 
supplemental rule may be tried before a United States Magistrate and 
fined no more than $1,000 or imprisoned for no more that 12 months, or 
both. Such violations may also be subject to the enhanced fines 
provided for by Title 18 U.S.C. 3571. This supplemental rule is issued 
under the approval and authority of the Oregon State Office, State 
Director.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This supplemental rule will become effective 30 days 
from the published date to allow for consideration of public comments.
