Abstract

This Part of Title 50 provides for the establishment and administration of wilderness units under a specific unit of the National Wildlife Refuge System for the purposes of which that individual national wildlife refuge was established. Rules and regulations governing the administration of the National Wildlife Refuge System will apply to wilderness units where said rules and regulations do not conflict with provisions of the Wilderness Act or Act of Congress which establishes the wilderness unit. Furthermore, the regulations in this Part include: minimum requirements for the administration of the area; public uses of a wilderness unit; measures to control wildfires, insects, pest plants, and disease to prevent unacceptable loss of wilderness resources and values, loss of life, and damage to property; forest management and conservation, such as prohibiting commercial harvesting of timber; grazing of livestock within a wilderness unit; controlled burning on wilderness units; research data gathering and similar scientific uses; access to State and private lands; and special regulations for individual wilderness units within the National Wildlife Refuge System.
