The agency is changing the way it informs the public about temporary closures and restrictions on public lands, according to an August 6 news release.
Notices will no longer appear in the Federal Register but will be distributed via “widely available communication tools.”
The change will align current practices with those of the Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Forest Service.
The new rule goes into effect on September 6 according to today’s announcement in the Federal Register.
