Sec. 293.17  National Forest Primitive Areas.

    (a) Within those areas of National Forests classified as Primitive 
on the effective date of the Wilderness Act, September 3, 1964, there 
shall be no roads or other provision for motorized transportation, no 
commercial timber cutting, and no occupancy under special-use permit for 
hotels, stores, resorts, summer homes, organization camps, hunting and 
fishing lodges, or similar uses: Provided, That existing roads over 
National Forest lands reserved from the public domain and roads 
necessary for the exercise of a statutory right of ingress and egress 
may be allowed under appropriate conditions determined by the Chief, 
Forest Service.
    (b) Grazing of domestic livestock, development of water storage 
projects which do not involve road construction, and improvements 
necessary for the protection of the National Forests may be permitted, 
subject to such restrictions as the Chief, Forest Service, deems 
desirable. Within Primitive Areas, when the use is for other than 
administrative needs of the Forest Service, use by other Federal 
agencies when authorized by the Chief, and in emergencies, the landing 
of aircraft and the use of motorboats are prohibited on National Forest 
land or water unless such use by aircraft or motorboats has already 
become well established, the use of motor vehicles is prohibited, and 
the use of other motorized equipment is prohibited except as authorized 
by the Chief. These restrictions are not intended as limitations on 
statutory rights of ingress and egress or of prospecting, locating, and 
developing mineral resources.
    (c) All prohibitions for those areas of National Forest classified 
as Primitive on the effective date of the Wilderness Act, September 3, 
1964, are in part 261.
