Reverse Emergency Closure Within the Ojito Special Management 
Area in Sandoval County, NM

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that effective September 21, 2004, an 
area previously closed (60 FR, June 29, 1995) to mechanical vehicles is 
open. Mountain bikes (mechanical vehicles) are a recognized legal 
conveyance on approximately (5) sections of public land southwest of 
San Ysidro, New Mexico.
    The area is located within sections 17, 20, 21, 28, & 29, T. 15 N., 
R. 1 E., New Mexico Principal Meridian.
    The purpose of the 1995 closure was to prevent unnecessary 
degradation of resources and undue environmental damage. The notice 
stated that until further notice the area would remain closed to 
mechanical use. It has been determined mountain bikes are not a threat 
to the resources or the environment.
    The reversal of the emergency closure is in accordance with the 
provisions of 43 CFR 8364.1. This order remains in effect until further 
notice.
