    Records for each route may be reviewed Monday through Friday at the 
    following locations beginning June 26, 1995 through September 8, 1995: 
    El Centro Resource Area Office, 1661 South 4th Street, El Centro, CA.,

    Saturdays).
    
    DATES: For Public Meetings and Comments: A 60-day public review period 
    has been established for review of the proposed route designations. 
    Written comments must be filed no later than September 8, 1995. For 
    those who still have questions after reviewing the Environmental 
    Assessment and appropriate maps and Designation Records, four public 
    meetings will be held to answer specific questions. Each meeting is 
    scheduled 7 to 10 pm. On August 28, 1995 at the El Cajon Community 
    Center 195 E. Douglas Ave., El Cajon, CA, on August 29, 1995 at Jay's

    Planner, Bureau of Land Management, El Centro Resource Area, 1661 South 
    4th Street, El Centro, California, 92243.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Since most desert visitors use motorized 
    vehicles to engage in desert activites, a suitable vehicle 
    transportation network is crucial to their needs. Access for desert use 
    and enjoyment needs to be provided while at the same time natural 
    resources are protected. Access outside of motorized vehicle ``open'' 
    areas is managed through the Vehicle Route Designation Process. This 
    was initiated on adoption of the California Desert Conservation Area 
    Plan and is described in the Motorized Vehicle Access Element. The El 
    Centro Resource Area is updating its vehicle designations for Public 
    Lands in Eastern San Diego County and in Imperial County those Public 
    Lands west of a line along the Chocolate Mountains Aerial Gunnery Range 
    and the east side of the Imperial Sand Dunes.
