AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, DOI.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given related to the restriction of Bureau of 
Land Management (BLM) administered lands in accordance with regulations 
contained in 43 CFR 8364.1(a). This action affects approximately 7,400 
acres of public land comprising the Headwaters Forest Reserve, located 
in Humboldt County, CA. Public access into the Reserve from the south 
along Felt Springs Road is allowed only during BLM guided hikes. The 
public must contact the BLM Arcata Field Office to make reservations. 
Employees, agents and permittees of the BLM may be exempt from this 
restriction as determined by the authorized officer.

DATES: This restriction order will be effective upon the date of 
publication and will terminate upon the completion and approval of a 
long range management plan for the area.

ADDRESSES: Maps and supporting documentation are available for review 
at the following location: Bureau of Land Management, Arcata Field 
Office, 1695 Heindon Road, Arcata, CA 95521.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lynda J. Roush, BLM, Arcata Field 
Manager (707) 825-2300.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Limiting public access into the Reserve from 
the south end is consistent with Environmental Assessment No. 99-15, 
``Headwaters Forest Reserve: Public Access (South)'' and its Decision 
Record entitled ``Public Access to the Southern Part of the Headwaters 
Forest Reserve.'' The decision provides for interim public access with 
BLM personnel accompanying visitors as they hike along Salmon Creek 
Trail. Guided hikes are needed to protect the fragile natural resources 
within the old-growth redwood groves of the Reserve. Limited public 
access from the south will be allowed from May 15th through November 
15th with wet weather restrictions. There will be four guided hikes per 
week/one hike per day. Each hike is limited to 20-30 visitors. Two days 
per week are reserved for schools/educational programs.

Lynda J. Roush,
Arcata Field Manager.
