The San Rafael Desert Travel Management Plan Draft Environmental Assessment 30-day formal comment period is 12/13/19-1/13/20. Additional information about the San Rafael Desert Draft Travel Management Plan and Environmental Assessment can be found on ePlanning at https://go.usa.gov/xVg2y.
This is what I have submitted so far. blm_ut_pr_comments@blm.gov

This is being sent late and under duress because of health but I hope it makes sense.
1. Over 7000 roads have been closed in Utah therefore no more should be closed unless a Class 1 survey has been made by the BLM. We do not need whimsical decisions made by judges, Federal and State agencies like was done on the road to Angles Arch, Paria Canyon, and Cannan Mountain roads.
2. There are no Wilderness or Wilderness Study Areas in the State of Utah if you follow the law. There are too many roads, mines, claims, mineral collecting areas, fences, construction sites, two-track traces Etc. to qualify.
3. Since Public Law 166-9 was passed in an omnibus bill there are too many jurisdictions that overlap like Public, Private, City, County, State, and different Federal agencies so that it is impossible to close roads by large areas of land. Each road needs to be considered separately as noted above in number 1.
4. Native Americans will be forced to walk or ride horseback to complete their ceremonies on Public Land and some of their own reservations. This is another agency that needs to be considered in 3. above.
That is all for now. More to follow as the comment period closes Jan 13, 2020.
