AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of closure of public lands to camping.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the following described public 
lands are temporarily closed to camping for the protection of public 
health and safety under the provisions of 43 CFR 8364.1. The closure 
will remain in effect until rescinded or modified by the Phoenix Field 
Manager.

authorized officer.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The public lands involved (approximately 67 
acres), located at Country Club Drive and the Salt River, are adjacent 
to areas of expanding urban development. Unregulated and extended

closure or restriction order issued under 43 CFR 8364 is subject to the 
penalties provided in 43 CFR 8360.0-7.
