SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Southwest RAC, along with the Northwest 
and Front Range RACs, have developed a joint set of draft recreation 
guidelines to recommend to the BLM Colorado for adoption and use in 
everyday management of the public lands the agency administers. The 
open houses are intended as a means for the RACs to gather informal 
public input and ideas on the draft recreation. Upon completion of the 
open houses, representatives from the three RACs will jointly fashion a 
set of final recommended guidelines to submit to the BLM. The draft 
recreation guidelines include recommendations dealing with the 
management of off-highway vehicle use.
