ACTION: Notice of designation of Idaho Operations Office properties and 
facilities as off-limits areas.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) hereby amends and adds to the 
previously published site descriptions of various DOE and contractor 
occupied buildings as off-limits areas. The three buildings are located 
at 535, 625, and 655 University Boulevard, Idaho Falls, Idaho 83415. In 
accordance with 10 CFR part 860, it is a federal crime under 42 U.S.C. 
2278a for unauthorized persons to enter into or upon these Idaho 
Operations Office properties and facilities. If unauthorized entry into 
or upon these properties is into an area enclosed by a fence, wall, 
floor, roof or other such structural barrier, conviction for such 
unauthorized entry may result in a fine not to exceed $100,000 or 
imprisonment for not more than one year, or both. If unauthorized entry 
into or upon the properties is into an area not enclosed by a fence, 
wall, floor, roof, or other such structural barrier, conviction for 
such unauthorized entry may result in a fine of not more than 
$5,000.\*\

    \*\ By operation of law, the Criminal Fine Improvements Act of 
1987, Pub. L. No. 100-185, 101 Stat. 1279 (1987), increased the fine 
amounts from $1000/$5000 to $5000/$100,000. See, e.g., U.S. v. 
Lentsch, 369 F.3d 948, 950 (6th Cir. 2004) (quoting 58 FR. 47984 
(Sept. 14, 1993)); see also 10 CFR 860.5.
