Revision of Reclamation’s Public Conduct Rule, 43 CFR Part 423
The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) is proposing to revise the regulations at 43 CFR Part 423 that govern public access to and conduct on Reclamation facilities, lands, and waterbodies.  The proposed changes clarify the regulations that are intended to maintain law and order and protect persons and property while bringing the rulemaking into compliance with updated laws and regulations.  In addition, Reclamation proposes to create a process whereby Tribes would have a new, previously prohibited ability to rebury Native American Tribal ancestors subject to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) that were recovered or inadvertently discovered from burial sites on Reclamation-managed land.

More Information
See the Framing Paper for further information regarding the proposed changes and comments requested from stakeholders.
