The temporary closure area comprises approximately 14,153 acres in Pershing County, Nevada. The public closure is necessary for the period of time from August 1 through September 21, 2016, because of the Burning Man event activities in the area, starting with fencing the site perimeter, final setup, the actual event (August 28 through September 5), 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 permitted event and for 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 [[Page 43229]] 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 one of the largest population areas in Nevada. This event is authorized on public land under Special Recreation Permit #NVW03500-16-01. The permitted 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. 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. In addition to the Nevada Collateral Forfeiture and Bail Schedule as authorized by the United States District Court, District of Nevada and 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 1 through September 21, 2016: Temporary Restrictions (a) Environmental Resource Management and Protection (1) No person may deface, disturb, remove, or destroy any natural object. (2) Fires/Campfires: The ignition of fires on the surface of the Black Rock playa without a burn blanket or burn pan is prohibited. Campfires may only be burned in containers that are stably elevated above the playa/ground surface and in a manner that do not pose a risk of fire debris falling onto the playa/ground surface. Plastic and other nonflammable materials may not be burned in campfires. The ignition of fires other than a campfire is prohibited. This restriction does not apply to event-sanctioned and regulated art burns during the event. (3) Fireworks: The use, sale, or possession of personal fireworks is prohibited except for uses of fireworks approved by the permit holder and used as part of a Burning Man-sanctioned art burn event. (4) Grey and Black Water Discharge: The discharge and dumping of grey water and black water onto the playa/ground surface is prohibited. Grey water is defined as water that has been used for cooking, washing, dishwashing, or bathing and/or contains soap, detergent, food scraps, or food residue, regardless of whether such products are biodegradable or have been filtered or disinfected. Black water is defined as waste water containing feces, urine, and/or flush water. (5) Human Waste: The depositing of human waste (liquid and/or solid) on the playa/ground surface is prohibited. (6) Trash: The discharge of any and all trash/litter (Matter Out Of Place (MOOP)) onto the playa/ground surface is prohibited. All event participants must pack out and properly dispose of all trash at an appropriate disposal facility off the playa. (7) Hazardous Materials: The dumping or discharge of vehicle oil, petroleum products, or other hazardous household, commercial, or industrial refuse or waste onto the playa/ground surface is prohibited. This applies to all recreational vehicles, trailers, motorhomes, port- a-potties, generators, and other camp infrastructure. (8) Fuel Storage: All fuel must be stored in a designated fuel storage area located at least ten feet away from any flammable materials, including vehicles and camping trailers. Fuel storage areas must be provided with shade to prevent fuel containers from bloating, leaking, or spilling. The storage of more than 110 gallons of fuel in a single camp is prohibited. Storage areas for over 20 gallons of fuel must include a secondary containment measure capable of holding 110 percent of the fuel being stored to prevent leaks and spills onto the playa/ground surface. Storage areas for less than 20 gallons of fuel must include a tarp, plywood, or other measure to prevent leaks and spills onto the playa/ground surface. (9) Water Discharge: The unauthorized dumping or discharge of water onto the playa/ground surface, onto city streets and/or other public areas, or onto camp electric systems in a manner that creates a hazard or nuisance is prohibited. This provision does not prohibit the use of water trucks contracted by the event organizer to provide dust abatement measures. (b) Commercial Activities In accordance with Handbook H-2930-1 Chapter 1-C. Vending and the 2016 Special Recreation Permit Stipulation for the permitted event, ALL venders and air carrier services must provide proof of authorization to operate at the event issued by the permitting agency and/or the permit holder upon request. Failure to provide such authorization would potentially result in eviction from the event. (c) Aircraft Landing The public closure area is closed to aircraft landing, taking off, and taxiing. Aircraft is defined in Title 18, U.S.C., section 31(a)(1) and includes lighter-than-air craft and ultra-light craft.

All takeoffs and landings will occur only during the hours of operation of the airport as described in the Burning Man Operating Plan. All pilots that use the Black Rock City Airport must agree to and abide by the published airport rules and regulations; (2) Only helicopters providing emergency medical services may land at the designated Emergency Medical Services helicopter pad or at other locations when required for medical incidents. The BLM authorized officer or his/her delegated representative may approve other helicopter landings and takeoffs when deemed necessary for the benefit of the law enforcement operation; and (3) Landings or takeoffs of lighter-than-air craft previously approved by the BLM authorized officer may occur. (d) Alcohol/Prohibited Substance (1) Possession of an open container of an alcoholic beverage by the driver or operator of any motorized vehicle, whether or not the vehicle is in motion, is prohibited. (2) Possession of alcohol by minors: The following are prohibited: (i) Consumption or possession of any alcoholic beverage by a person under 21 years of age on public lands; and (ii) Selling, offering to sell, or otherwise furnishing or supplying any alcoholic beverage to a person under 21 years of age on public lands.
