input and ideas on the proposed set of guidelines that all the RACs in 
Colorado have agreed with so far. After September 15, 1999, 
representatives from all RACs will jointly develop a set of final 
recommended guidelines to submit to the BLM for consideration. The 
guidelines will include recommendations dealing with the management of 
off-highway vehicle use.
