Notice of Oregon Off-Highway Vehicle Designation

AGENCY: Prineville District Office, Deschutes Resource Area, Interior.

ACTION: Notice given relating to limiting motorized vehicle use on 
public lands north of Prineville Reservoir.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given relating to limiting the use of 
motorized vehicle use on approximately 2,200 acres of public lands in 
accordance with the authority and requirements of Executive Orders 
11644 and 11989 and regulations contained in 43 CFR Part 8340.
    The following lands under administration of Bureau of Land 
Management are designated as limited, as a result of decisions made in 
the BLM Upper Prineville Reservoir Activity Plan and Record of Decision 
for the Brothers/LaPine Resource Management Plan/Environmental Impact 
Statement.
    These public lands are all located in T. 16S, R. 17E., W.M.:
    Section 11: public lands south of O'Neil Cr. and west of Paulina 
Highway, Section 13: public lands west of Paulina Highway, and all 
public lands in Sections 14, 15, 22, 23, 24 and 27. All motorized 
vehicle use (includes passenger, four-wheel drive, motorcycle, three-
wheel and quad) is limited in the following manner on these public 
lands:
    1. No motorized vehicle use is permitted from December 1st through 
March 31st.
    2. Motorized vehicle use is restricted to designated routes marked 
with ``designated route'' signs.
    These restrictions are being implemented in a cooperative effort 
with the Bureau of Reclamation, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife 
and adjacent private land owners to reduce soil erosion and improve 
mule deer winter range.
    This designation is effective upon publication in the Federal 
Register and will remain in effect until rescinded or modified by the 
Prineville District Manager. Information and maps of this area are 
available at the BLM Prineville District Office, 3050 East Third 
Street, Prineville, Oregon, 97754, Telephone [phone].

    Dated: January 26, 1996.
Donald L. Smith,
Acting District Manager.
