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.

She was taken yesterday to the North Carolina State College of Veterinary Medicine for observation and treatment according to a report by Carolina Coast Online.
The story did not indicate if the condition was related to Hurricane Debby and if the foal will be returned to the Reserve.
The news release by North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality does not offer any additional details.
The DNA published last week asserts that a 2008 EA fully covers bait trap removal set to begin this week.
For that to be true, the document must have a useful life of at least 16 years.
Some advocates have argued that a ten-year life, typical for wild horse and burro environmental assessments, is too long.
The EA was not copied to the project folder but Western Horse Watchers sent an email this morning asking for that.

The event will begin with a brief presentation by the Colorado Wild Horse Working Group about its purpose and emerging recommendations regarding fertility control, adoption and other topics, followed by public feedback.
Registration is required.
The aim of the group is to protect hunting and ranching interests by curtailing wild horse numbers with pesticides, reducing the need for motorized removal.
Despite this, two of the four HMAs in the state will see roundups in the next few weeks.
The document asserts that a 2008 EA fully covers bait trap removal scheduled to begin this week.
Operations will occur in an area south of I-40, east of the Colorado River, west of State Route 95 and north of Lake Havasu City. Refer to Figure 1 on page eight.
The project was created in ePlanning on July 31.
It’s on the July 31 schedule in the emergency/nuisance section and operations will begin this week according to today’s news release.
The capture and removal goals are 100 each.
Excess animals will be taken to the off-range corrals in Florence.
They are likely associated with the Havasu HMA.
The incident is not open to public observation.
The agency is developing a new management plan for the HMA and two others, known as the Three Rivers Complex.
UPDATE: The original gather page has been replaced by this one.
The Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a leader in nonmotorized removal, reported today that 112 mares received 112 doses of PZP during the month, 17 given as primers and 95 as boosters.
Over the life of the program, which began in 2019, the advocates have pumped 9,626 doses of the pesticide into 2,049 mares, for an average of 4.7 doses per mare.
Since the beginning of the year, 143 foals have been born and 34 died.
The current population is thought to be 3,548, with 311 horses listed as missing, compared to 3,521 with 302 horses listed as missing in June.
The population was 3,502 with 310 horses listed as missing in May and 3,519 with 370 listed as missing in April.
The Year 6 agreement with NDA has not been posted to the darting resources page.
The Year 5 summary has not been posted to the monthly reports page.
A goal for August is to maximize booster treatments so the herd will continue to shrink and to train newly certified darters with experienced team members.
Not discussed:
The report will be submitted to the Nevada Department of Agriculture.

As the Democrat Party becomes more radical, anti-God, anti-life and anti-family, so do the wild horse advocates.
It’s almost as if they’re joined at the hip.
In their transition to full-time pleaders for the public-lands ranchers, they’ve abandoned any pretense of caring for the horses and now peddle mass sterilization as a practical alternative to helicopter roundups.
Their demonstration projects at the Salt River and Virginia Range are not designed to slow population growth but to reverse it.
This can only be accomplished by extensive use of the pesticide, which will result in sterilization of the mares and irreversible decline of the herds.
If signed into law, the Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act of 2023 would ban helicopter roundups and increase demand for alternative methods because it does not change the resource allocations and management priorities that drive the removals.
The advocates would be waiting in the wings to spread the serpent’s venom across the fruited plain, with the ranchers coming out on top in the long run.
Imagine Congress passing a bill that puts your competitors out of business and gives you monopoly control of the industry.
