guidelines to recommend to the BLM Colorado for adoption and use in
everyday management of the public lands the agency administers. The
open houses are intended as a means for the RACs to gather informal
public input and ideas on the draft recreation. Upon completion of the
open houses, representatives from the three RACs will jointly fashion a
set of final recommended guidelines to submit to the BLM. The draft
recreation guidelines include recommendations dealing with the
management of off-highway vehicle use.
