    The temporary closure area comprises 14,153 acres, more or less, 
in Pershing County, Nevada.

    The public closure is necessary for the period of time from August 
10, 2015, through September 21, 2015, because of the Burning Man event 
activities in the area, starting with fencing the site perimeter, final 
setup, the actual event (August 30 through September 7), initial phases 
of cleanup, and concluding with final site cleanup.
    The public closure area comprises about 13 percent of the Black 
Rock Desert playa. Public access to other areas of the playa will 
remain open and the other 87 percent of the playa outside the temporary 
closure area will remain open to dispersed casual use.
    The event area is contained within the temporary closure area. The 
event area is defined as the portion of the temporary closure area (1) 
entirely contained within the event perimeter fence, including 50 feet 
from the outside of the event perimeter fence; and (2) within 25 feet 
from the outside edge of the event access road; and includes the 
entirety of the aircraft parking area outside the event perimeter 
fence.
    The temporary closure and temporary restrictions are necessary to 
provide a safe environment for the participants of the Burning Man 
event and to members of the public visiting the Black Rock Desert, and 
to protect public land resources by addressing law enforcement and 
public safety concerns associated with the event. The event is expected 
to attract approximately 70,000 paid participants to a remote rural 
area, more than 90 miles from urban infrastructure and support, 
including public safety, transportation, and communication services. 
During the event, Black Rock City, the temporary city associated with 
the event, becomes the tenth-largest population area in Nevada. This 
event is authorized on public land under Special Recreation Permit 
#NVW03500-15-01.
    While a majority of Burning Man event participants do not violate 
event

[[Page 46317]]

rules or BLM rules and regulations, a few participants at previous 
events have caused law enforcement and public safety incidents similar 
to those observed in urban areas of similar-size populations. Incidents 
in prior years include: Aircraft crashes; motor vehicle accidents with 
injuries both within and outside the event perimeter; fights; sexual 
assault; assault on law enforcement officers; reckless or threatening 
behavior; crimes against property; crowd control issues; possession and 
unlawful use of alcoholic beverages; endangerment of themselves or 
others; possession, use, and distribution of controlled substances; 
litter and unlawful dumping of waste.
    The Burning Man event takes place within Pershing County, a rural 
county with a small population and a small Sheriff's Department. The 
temporary closure and temporary restrictions are necessary to enable 
BLM law enforcement personnel to provide for public safety and to 
protect the public lands, as well as to support and assist state and 
local agencies with enforcement of existing laws.
    Implementation of the temporary restrictions will increase 
interaction with and education of users by BLM law enforcement and 
educational staff which will indirectly increase appreciation and 
protection of the public resources.
    A temporary closure and temporary restrictions order, under the 
authority of 43 CFR 8364.1, is appropriate for a single event. A 
temporary closure and temporary restrictions order is specifically 
tailored to the timeframe that is necessary to provide a safe 
environment for the public and for participants at the Burning Man 
event, and to protect public land resources while avoiding imposing 
restrictions that may not be necessary in the area during the remainder 
of the year.
    The BLM will post information signs and maps about the temporary 
closure and temporary restrictions at main entry points around the 
playa, at the BLM Winnemucca District Office, at the Nevada State 
Office, at the Black Rock Visitor Center and on the BLM's Web site: 
www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/fo/wfo.html.
    Under the authority of Section 303(a) of FLPMA, 43 CFR 8360.0-7, 
and 43 CFR 8364.1, the BLM will enforce a temporary public closure and 
the following temporary restrictions will apply within and adjacent to 
the Burning Man event on the Black Rock Desert playa from August 10, 
2015 through September 21, 2015:
