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

SUMMARY: The Manager of the Las Vegas Field Office announces a 
pedestrian and vehicular closure on selected public lands under the 
Office's administration. The perimeter of the subject lands has been 
previously fenced to aid in the protection of sensitive heritage and 
traditional values. Closure will aid in law enforcement efforts to 
protect these lands. This action is being taken to ensure public 
safety, prevent unnecessary environmental degradation and prevent

subject to this closure, ongoing access-related damage to significant

tribes and the public.

effect for a period of one year.

described area: Township 15 South, Range 66 East, Sections 7 and 8.

Management at the address listed below.
    Exceptions to Closure: Certain persons authorized or permitted by 
the Las Vegas Field Manager may be allowed within the selected lands.
    Closure Restrictions: Unless otherwise authorized by the Las Vegas 
Field Office Manager, no person shall be allowed within the boundaries 
of the presently fenced enclosure legally described above. This applies 
to all types of access.
    Definitions: ``Authorized persons refers to those groups or 
individuals specifically authorized for official business. This 
includes certain BLM employees and contractors, volunteers, tribal 
members, University personnel or any other persons authorized by the 
Las Vegas Field Manager.''
    This closure order is issued under the authority of 43 CFR 8364.1. 
Violation of any of the terms, conditions, or restrictions contained 
within this closure order, may subject the violator to citation or
