Establishment of Interim Final Supplementary Rules for Public 
Lands Managed by the Carrizo Plain National Monument in Kern and San 
Luis Obispo Counties, CA

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The California State Director for the Bureau of Land 
Management (BLM) is establishing interim final supplementary rules and 
requests public comments. These interim final supplementary rules will 
become effective immediately upon their publication in the Federal 
Register and will apply to public lands within the Carrizo Plain 
National Monument in Kern and San Luis Obispo Counties, California 
(Monument). The BLM has determined that these interim final 
supplementary rules are necessary to promote the health and 
sustainability of the Carrizo Plain National Monument, while reducing 
the risks to the Monument's ecosystem that, if left unchecked, could 
cause undue ecological degradation. These rules are in accordance with 
the Approved Resource Management Plan and Record of Decision (RMP/ROD) 
for the Monument.

DATES: The interim final supplementary rules are effective immediately 
and remain in effect until modified or rescinded by the publication of 
final supplementary rules. The BLM invites comments until February 19, 
2013. Comments received, postmarked, or electronically dated after that 
date will not necessarily be considered in the development of final 
supplementary rules.

ADDRESSES: Please mail or hand deliver all comments concerning the 
interim final supplementary rules to the Bureau of Land Management, 
Attention: Ryan Cooper, BLM Bakersfield Field Office, 3801 Pegasus 
Drive, Bakersfield, CA 93308.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ryan Cooper, 3801 Pegasus Drive, 
Bakersfield, CA 93308, 661-391-6048 or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Public Comment Procedures

    The public is invited to provide comments on these interim final 
supplementary rules. See DATES and ADDRESSES for information on 
submitting comments. Written comments on the interim final 
supplementary rules should be specific, confined to issues pertinent to 
the interim final supplementary rules, and explain the reason for any 
recommended change. Comments requesting changes to decisions in the 
RMP/ROD would be outside the scope of this rulemaking.
    Where possible, comments should reference a specific provision of 
these interim final supplementary rules. The BLM need not consider or 
include in the Administrative Record: (a) Comments that the BLM 
receives after the close of the comment period (see DATES), unless they 
are postmarked or electronically dated before the deadline, or (b) 
Comments delivered to an address other than one of those listed above 
(see ADDRESSES).
    Comments, including names, street addresses, and other contact 
information of respondents, will be available for public review at the 
BLM Bakersfield Field Office, 3801 Pegasus Drive, Bakersfield, CA 93308 
during regular business hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., Monday through 
Friday, except Federal holidays. Individual respondents may request 
confidentiality. However, before including your address, telephone 
number, email address, or other personal identifying information in 
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including 
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available 
at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your 
personal identifying information from public review, we cannot 
guarantee that we will be able to do so.

II. Background

    The Carrizo Plain National Monument Presidential Proclamation 
(Monument Proclamation) of January 17, 2001, established the Monument 
in recognition of its exceptional objects of scientific and historic 
interest. Previously, the BLM had managed the area in accordance with 
the Carrizo Plain Natural Area Management Plan of 1996. Under the 
guidance of that plan, the State Director established supplementary 
rules for the Natural Area at 62 FR 54126 (Oct. 17, 1997). The RMP/ROD 
for the Monument, signed April 10, 2010, provides for those 
supplementary rules to remain in effect. The supplementary rules put in 
place by this notice are in addition to rules established in 1997.
    The Monument comprises approximately 200,000 acres in Kern and San 
Luis Obispo counties of California. Maps identifying the management 
boundaries are included in the RMP/ROD.
    Sections 302 and 310 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act 
of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1732 and 1740) provide the overall authority for the 
BLM's management of the Monument. The BLM is establishing these interim 
final supplementary rules under the authority of 43 CFR 8365.1-6, which 
allows BLM State Directors to establish supplementary rules for the 
protection of persons, property, and public lands and resources.
    These interim final supplementary rules are available for 
inspection in the BLM Bakersfield Field Office and on the Web site for 
the Monument: http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/bakersfield/Programs/carrizo.html. Upon publication of these interim final supplementary 
rules, the BLM will send a news release to all newspapers of general 
circulation in the affected vicinity.
    The supplementary rules outlined in this notice are designed to 
immediately and effectively address risks to the ecosystem of the 
Carrizo Plains National Monument, which include but are not limited to: 
Threats to the health and sustainability of majestic grasslands and 
native endangered, threatened and rare flora and wildlife species, and 
world class archaeological sites. Protecting these values remains the 
utmost concern and mission of the Monument.
    During the planning process that led to the RMP/ROD, the BLM took 
the following steps to involve the public in developing the plan 
decisions that provided a basis for the interim final supplementary 
rules:
     The BLM held three scoping meetings for the Carrizo RMP 
between April and June of 2007 in the planning area. The BLM also met 
with the Native American Advisory Council for local Indian tribes and 
the Monument Advisory Committee (MAC).
     The Draft RMP/EIS, which included supplementary rules, was 
available for a 90-day public comment period beginning in January 2009. 
The BLM held three public meetings throughout the planning area and met 
with the MAC, which is composed of our managing partners, and the 
Native American Advisory Council during the development of this 
document.
     The BLM released the Proposed RMP and Final EIS, which 
included the supplemental rules, in November 2009 for a 30-day protest 
period.
     The MAC, with representatives from diverse interest 
groups, and members of the public participated throughout the planning 
process. The State of California determined that the Proposed RMP/Final 
EIS is consistent with State and local plans.
     The BLM summarized all public comments and addressed them 
in the Final EIS published April 2010. All decisions related to these 
interim final supplementary rules were analyzed in the Final EIS.
    The following were among the resource protection concerns that were 
identified during this extensive public participation in the planning 
process:
     Incidents of vehicle use off designated routes;
     Poaching and misidentification of target species;
     Degradation of cultural sites; and
     Damage to natural resources, including threatened and 
endangered species.
    The BLM therefore finds that prior notice and public comment are 
contrary to the public interest, and finds good cause to publish these 
supplementary rules on an interim final basis, effective immediately 
upon the date of publication.

III. Discussion of Interim Final Supplementary Rules

    These interim final supplementary rules implement provisions for 
visitor use and resource protection identified in the RMP/ROD at 
Attachment 7, ``Supplementary Rules for Public Use.''

Prohibition Against Use of Replica Weapons

    Any use of replica weapons (such as paintball, airsoft, or war game 
apparatus) is prohibited on the Monument. The use of these types of 
weapons leaves behind debris that could be harmful to plants and 
animals that are protected on the Monument. Also, these devices often 
are convincing reproductions that could be mistaken for real weapons by 
law enforcement officers.

Street-Legal Vehicles

    Recently there has been a noticeable increase in Off-Highway 
Vehicle (OHV) use in the Monument. Monument resources, including the 
majestic grasslands that offer refuge for endangered, threatened, and 
rare plant and animal species, are highly susceptible to damage from 
OHV use. The significant fossil assemblages and cultural artifacts 
associated with the Monument are also susceptible to OHV damage. This 
led to the determination during the planning process that non-street-
legal vehicles generally are not compatible with the Monument 
Proclamation.
    Only street-legal vehicles, i.e. those licensed for use on public 
roads, are permitted on routes within the Monument, unless:
     The vehicle is a military, fire, emergency, or law 
enforcement vehicle being used for emergency purposes;
     The vehicle is expressly authorized by the BLM, or 
otherwise officially approved; or,
     The vehicle is being used on a portion of the Temblor 
Ridge Road from T31S, R21E, Section 23 to T11N, R24W, Section 7, 
allowing connectivity to the eastern slopes of the Temblors; is 
registered with the State off-highway vehicle program; and displays a 
red or green State-issued sticker. Staging and trailering of non-
street-legal vehicles are prohibited activities along Temblor Ridge 
Road.

Control of Pets

    In an area as well traveled and visited as the Monument, which has 
seen an increase in recent years in the numbers of visitors, pets 
escaping from owner control pose a very real liability to the 
sustainability and overall health of Carrizo Plain National Monument. 
Pets, if left unrestrained, may spread diseases and the seeds of 
noxious weeds, as well as kill or harm local wildlife and flora. These 
actions are in stark contrast with the Monument's mission of protecting 
and conserving native wildlife and landscapes. Therefore, to prevent 
wildlife depredation or other ecological damage, pets must be leashed 
or caged at all developed sites including visitor centers, interpretive 
overlooks, and camping areas. Pets include dogs, cats, and birds. In 
some areas, pets may be excluded completely.

[[Page 75651]]

Prohibition Against Commercial Still and Video Photography of 
Pictograph Images

    These interim final supplementary rules prohibit still and video 
photography for commercial use of the pictograph and petroglyph images 
found within the Monument. Pictographs are images painted upon stone 
surfaces, and petroglyphs are images carved into the stone surfaces by 
Native American people. Due to the spiritual values associated with 
this imagery, contemporary Native American people view the commercial 
use of these images as exploitative and inappropriate.
    More recent carving and writing on the rocks, since about 1900, is 
considered graffiti. Where the graffiti overlies or is immediately 
adjacent to the pictographs and petroglyphs, commercial photography of 
graffiti is also prohibited.
    In these interim final supplementary rules, the term ``commercial 
use'' is defined as any pictures or film created for the purpose of 
financial gain. Photography for educational or scientific purposes may 
be allowed, subject to BLM review and authorization, in instances where 
financial gain is not the primary purpose, and where the BLM has 
authorized such activity in writing.

Release of Non-Native and Captive-Held Native Species

    This interim final supplementary rule prohibits the release of non-
native and captive-held native species on BLM lands within the 
boundaries of the Carrizo Plain National Monument, unless the BLM 
authorizes such release in writing. This provision is in accordance 
with Executive Order 13112 (Feb 3, 1999), which requires that a Federal 
agency not authorize, fund, or carry out actions that it believes are 
likely to cause or promote the introduction or spread of invasive 
species in the United States or elsewhere, unless the agency has 
determined and made public its determination that the benefits of such 
actions clearly outweigh the potential harm caused by invasive species, 
and that all feasible and prudent measures to minimize risk of harm 
will be taken in conjunction with the actions.
    This provision is also in accordance with the recognition in the 
Monument Proclamation that the Monument offers refuge for many 
endangered, threatened, and rare species. The intentional or 
unintentional release of a non-native or captive-held native species 
into an ecosystem has the potential to cause environmental harm to 
native species and the Monument's ecosystem because these species 
compete for resources, have the potential to prey on certain endangered 
or threatened species, and may introduce disease and/or parasites. Any 
of these could have drastic and devastating effects to the Monument's 
ecological health and sustainability. For example, in 2003, Newcastle 
disease, a threat to domestic and wild bird populations in California, 
nearly reached the Monument. Captive-held native species, while native, 
may introduce genetic material detrimental to the overall populations 
that have evolved in the Monument. For these reasons, the release of 
non-native and captive-held native species is not compatible with the 
Monument's mission.
    In accordance with Executive Order 13112 and the Monument 
Proclamation, this interim final supplementary rule generally prohibits 
the release of non-native and captive-held native species, unless the 
release is required to meet Monument objectives and is authorized by 
the BLM in writing. Examples of authorized releases include:
     Augmentation or re-establishment of an endangered or 
threatened species such as the Kern primrose sphinx moth;
     Re-establishment of the giant kangaroo rat, blunt-nosed 
leopard lizard, San Joaquin kit fox, or San Joaquin antelope squirrel 
in core areas; or
     Release of pronghorn or elk if necessary to meet herd 
objectives.

Painted Rock Exclusion Zone

    The Painted Rock Exclusion Zone is a component of the Carrizo Plain 
Rock Art Discontiguous District, which is listed on the National 
Register of Historic Places. In the RMP/ROD, the BLM determined that it 
is necessary to prohibit the following animals, objects, and activities 
within the Exclusion Zone, in order to prevent disturbances such as 
erosion and vandalism:
     Horses;
     Dogs;
     Motorized and non-motorized bicycles (except in the 
Painted Rock parking area);
     Outdoor sporting activities (known as ``geocaching'' and 
``earth caching'') in which the participants use a Global Positioning 
System receiver, mobile device, and navigational techniques to hide and 
seek containers, called ``geocaches'' or ``caches;''
     Discharge of firearms; and
     Campfires (except for Native American ceremonial use in 
accordance with Executive Order 13007, Indian Sacred Sites (1996)).

IV. Procedural Matters

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review

    These interim final supplementary rules are not a significant 
regulatory action and are not subject to review by the Office of 
Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866. These interim final 
supplementary rules will not have an annual effect of $100 million or 
more on the economy or adversely affect, in a material way, the 
economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public 
health or safety, or state, local or Tribal governments or communities. 
These interim final supplementary rules will not create a serious 
inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an action taken or planned by 
another agency. The interim final supplementary rules do not materially 
alter the budgetary effects of entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan 
programs or the right or obligation of their recipients; nor do they 
raise novel legal or policy issues. They merely impose certain rules on 
recreational activities on a limited portion of the public lands in 
California in order to protect human health, safety, and the 
environment.

Clarity of the Interim Final Supplementary Rules

    Executive Order 12866 requires each agency to write regulations 
that are simple and easy to understand. We invite your comments on how 
to make these interim final supplementary rules easier to understand, 
including answers to questions such as the following:
    (1) Are the requirements in the interim final supplementary rules 
clearly stated?
    (2) Do the interim final supplementary rules contain technical 
language or jargon that interferes with their clarity?
    (3) Does the format of the interim final supplementary rules 
(grouping and order of sections, use of headings, paragraphing, etc.) 
aid or reduce their clarity?
    (4) Would the interim final supplementary rules be easier to 
understand if they were divided into more (but shorter) sections?
    (5) Is the description of the interim final supplementary rules in 
the SUPPLMENTARY INFORMATION section of this preamble helpful in 
understanding the interim final supplementary rules? How could this 
description be more helpful in making the interim final supplementary 
rules easier to understand?
    Please send any comments you have on the clarity of the interim 
final

[[Page 75652]]

supplementary rules to the address specified in the ADDRESSES section.

National Environmental Policy Act

    These interim final supplementary rules themselves comprise a 
category or kind of action that has no significant individual or 
cumulative effect on the quality of the human environment under Section 
102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), 42 
U.S.C. 4332(2)(C). See 40 CFR 1508.4; 43 CFR 46.210. Specifically, 
these interim final supplementary rules are categorically excluded from 
the requirements of NEPA because they comprise an action of an 
administrative, financial, legal, technical, or procedural nature 
within the meaning of 43 CFR 46.210(i), and none of the extraordinary 
circumstances listed at 43 CFR 46.215 would be applicable. Therefore, 
the BLM is not required to prepare an environmental assessment or an 
environmental impact statement for these interim final supplementary 
rules.
    Moreover, these interim final supplementary rules are a component 
of a larger planning process for the Monument (i.e., the RMP/ROD), that 
itself was a major Federal action. In developing the Monument RMP/ROD, 
the BLM prepared a Draft and Final EIS, which include a complete 
analysis of each decision corresponding to the interim final 
supplementary rules. The Draft and Final EIS, the Proposed Resource 
Management Plan, and the RMP/ROD are on file and available to the 
public in the BLM administrative record at the address specified under 
ADDRESSES. The Proposed Resource Management Plan, Final EIS, and RMP/
ROD are online at: http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/bakersfield/Programs/carrizo.html.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Congress enacted the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) of 1980, as 
amended, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, to ensure that government regulations do not 
unnecessarily or disproportionately burden small entities. The RFA 
requires a regulatory flexibility analysis if a rule would have a 
significant economic impact, either detrimental or beneficial, on a 
substantial number of small entities. The interim final supplementary 
rules do not pertain specifically to commercial or governmental 
entities of any size, but to public recreational use of specific public 
lands. Therefore, the BLM has determined under the RFA that these 
interim final supplementary rules would not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act

    These interim final supplementary rules do not constitute a ``major 
rule'' as defined at 5 U.S.C. 804(2). These interim final supplementary 
rules generally contain rules of conduct for recreational use of 
certain public lands. While they prohibit photography of pictographs or 
petroglyphs for commercial use, that prohibition does not have an 
effect on business, commercial, or industrial use of the public lands 
that rises to any of the following thresholds specified in 5 U.S.C. 
804(2):
    (a) An annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more;
    (b) A major increase in costs or prices for consumers, individual 
industries, Federal, State, or local government agencies, or geographic 
regions; or
    (c) Significant adverse effects on competition, employment, 
investment, productivity, innovation, or on the ability of United 
States-based enterprises in domestic and export markets.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    These interim final supplementary rules do not impose an unfunded 
mandate on state, local or tribal governments in the aggregate, or the 
private sector, of more than $100 million per year; nor do they have a 
significant or unique effect on small governments. These interim final 
supplementary rules do not require anything of state, local, or Tribal 
governments. Therefore, the BLM is not required to prepare a statement 
containing the information required by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 
(2 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

Executive Order 12630, Governmental Actions and Interference With 
Constitutionally Protected Property Rights (Takings)

    The interim final supplementary rules are not a government action 
capable of interfering with constitutionally protected property rights. 
The interim final supplementary rules do not address property rights in 
any form and do not cause the impairment of anybody's property rights. 
Therefore, the Department of the Interior has determined that these 
interim final supplementary rules would not cause a taking of private 
property or require further discussion of takings implications under 
this Executive Order.

Executive Order 13132, Federalism

    The interim final supplementary rules will not have a substantial 
direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national 
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and 
responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, the 
BLM has determined that these interim final supplementary rules do not 
have sufficient Federalism implications to warrant preparation of a 
Federalism Assessment.

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform

    Under Executive Order 12988, the BLM has determined that these 
interim final supplementary rules will not unduly burden the judicial 
system and that the requirements of sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of the 
Executive Order are met. The supplementary rules include rules of 
conduct and prohibited acts, but they are straightforward and not 
confusing.

Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal 
Governments

    As discussed in the RMP/ROD, the BLM has been working with a Native 
American Advisory Committee for the Monument formed under a 1997 
charter agreement. The Advisory Committee was formed to encourage the 
participation in Monument management of both federally recognized 
tribes and other Native Americans having ancestral cultural ties to the 
lands in the Monument. The Advisory Committee includes representatives 
of the Chumas, Yokuts, and Salinan people.
    The Advisory Committee actively participated in the planning 
process that resulted in the 2010 RMP/ROD. The BLM also provided tribes 
in the vicinity of the Monument with copies of the draft RMP, and 
requested comments, but the tribes expressed no concerns about the RMP 
or the decisions related to these interim final supplementary rules. 
For these reasons, the BLM has determined that these interim final 
supplementary rules themselves do not include policies with tribal 
implications that have not already been considered in consultation and 
coordination with Indian tribal governments.

Information Quality Act

    In developing these supplementary rules, the BLM did not conduct or 
use a study, experiment or survey requiring peer review under the 
Information Quality Act (Section 515 of Public Law 106-554). In 
accordance with the Information Quality Act, the Department of the 
Interior has issued

[[Page 75653]]

guidance regarding the quality of information that it relies upon for 
regulatory decisions. This guidance is available at DOI's Web site at 
http://www.doi.gov/ocio/iq.html.

Executive Order 13211, Effects on the Nation's Energy Supply

    These supplementary rules do not comprise a ``significant energy 
action,'' as defined in Executive Order 13211, since they are not 
likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, 
distribution, or use of energy.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    These interim final supplementary rules do not contain information 
collection requirements that the Office of Management and Budget must 
approve under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

Author

    The principal author of these interim final supplementary rules is 
Ryan Cooper, Recreation Planner, Carrizo Plain National Monument.
    For the reasons stated in the preamble and under the authority for 
supplementary rules found in 43 CFR 8365.1-6, the BLM California State 
Director hereby establishes supplementary rules, effective on an 
interim final basis immediately after the date of publication in the 
Federal Register, for public lands managed by the BLM in the Carrizo 
Plain National Monument, to read as follows:
