Sec. 423.3  Prohibition of trespassing, tampering, and vandalism.

    (a) The following activities are prohibited:
    (1) Trespassing, entering, or remaining in or upon property or real 
property not open to the public (closed area), except with the express 
invitation or consent of the person having lawful control of the 
property, real property, or water;
    (2) Tampering or attempting to tamper with property or real 
property, or moving, manipulating, or setting in motion any of the parts 
thereof, except when such property is under one's lawful control or 
possession; and
    (3) Vandalism or destroying, injuring, defacing, or damaging 
property or real property that is not under one's lawful control or 
possession.
    (b) Reclamation reserves the right to close and restrict public 
access to Reclamation lands and Reclamation projects subject to this 
part for security or public safety reasons. Each closure order or order 
restricting public access must:
    (1) Identify the facilities, lands or waters that are closed or 
restricted as to public use;
    (2) Specify the uses that are restricted;
    (3) Specify the period of time during which the closure or 
restriction shall apply (including indefinite periods, if necessary); 
and
    (4) Be posted at places near or within the area to which the closure 
or restriction applies, in such manner and location as is reasonable to 
bring prohibitions to the attention of the public.
    (c) Within 15 days of the beginning of the closure or restriction, 
Reclamation will publish the closure or restriction in the Federal 
Register, unless the Commissioner determines that publication is 
contrary to national security or the public interest.
