>>         Dear Outdoor Enthusiast,

>>         We would like to get your opinion on an important issue. In
>>         October, the Arizona Game and Fish Department began requesting
>>         public comments on proposed state legislation regarding a new
>>         "Copper Sticker" Off-highway Vehicle (OHV) User Fee Program.
>>         We would welcome your comments by Nov. 26 to help shape this
>>         legislation to meet OHV user needs, while also protecting
>>         wildlife habitat and serving public interests. The comments
>>         are being compiled on behalf of the Off-highway Vehicle
>>         Legislative Workgroup, a group of representatives from OHV
>>         user groups, sportsmen's groups, government agencies and other
>>         cooperators.

>>         The use of off-highway vehicles in the state of Arizona has
>>         increased substantially in recent years. Therefore, the
>>         Department is working with the OHV Legislative Workgroup to
>>         develop this program for improving off-highway vehicle
>>         management in our state. If passed, the draft legislation
>>         would also enhance funding for OHV programs, including
>>         maintenance and development of OHV trails and routes,
>>         education and information, enhanced law enforcement resources,
>>         and mitigation for damage to environmental, historical and
>>         cultural resources from OHV recreation. Here are some of the
>>         specific areas that would benefit:

>>             * Developing and providing signage, maps and other
>>               OHV-related environmental education tools to OHV groups,
>>               local governments and land management agencies
>>             * Developing a responsible rider safety and education program
>>             * Enhancing resources for enforcement of off-highway
>>               vehicle laws, including improved regulations
>>             * Protecting natural resources

>>         The current draft legislation proposes that the Arizona Game
>>         and Fish Department would sell the copper stickers and
>>         administer the program. The department would ensure the
>>         stickers are easily accessible through OHV dealers, the
>>         Internet, Game and Fish offices, and license dealers statewide.

>>         You can download the draft legislation and get additional
>>         information at the department's Web site at
>>         azgfd.gov/coppersticker
>>         <http://www.azgfd.gov/outdoor_recreation/copper_sticker.shtml>.
>>         You can submit your opinion in two simple ways: through that
>>         Game and Fish Web site or by U.S. mail to OHV Comments, c/o
>>         Joe Sacco, Arizona Game and Fish Department, 2221 W. Greenway
>>         Road, Phoenix, AZ 85023-4399.

>>         We look forward to hearing from you.

>>         Sincerely,

>>         Arizona Game and Fish Department
