Temporary restriction of motor vehicle use, Fort Sage Off Highway Vehicle Area.
SUMMARY:
Notice is hereby given that effective 12:00 am April 6 until 6:00 pm April 7, 2002, use of motor vehicles is restricted at the Fort Sage Off Highway Vehicle Area to entrants and officials participating in motorcycle races under permit with the Bureau of Land Management.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The purpose of this restriction is to protect persons and their property, by preventing the potential for collision between race participants and casual road and trail riders. The restriction will also prevent adverse impacts to soil, vegetation, wildlife habitat, and recreation resources by preventing the potential for cross country travel by or congregating of spectators adjacent to or between trails. Search and rescue, medical emergency, law enforcement, and other emergency personal are exempted from these restrictions. BLM personnel are exempted from these restrictions for official administrative purposes. Owners of private lands within or adjacent to the Fort Sage OHV Area are exempted for access to owner's private land.
