Resource Area, Burns District, Oregon.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: These supplementary rules will apply to the public land within 
the Wild Horse Corrals facility in the Three Rivers Resource Area, 
Burns District, Harney County, Oregon. The supplementary rules are 
needed to protect the area's wild horses and burros, ensure public 
health and safety, protect resources from damage, and safeguard 
government property. The Burns Wild Horse Corrals facility is located 
west of Hines, Oregon, within Section 6 of Township 24 South, Range 30

entry to the regular working hours of the facility, prevent entry on 
service roads or cross-country travel. This facility is already closed 
and the main access road gate locked after regular working hours. This 
notice enables the BLM to limit access to a sensitive facility.
