French-language term labels added to definitions; new fire safety duties and future definition changes flagged

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted

The regulation's definitions section now includes French-language equivalents for each defined term (e.g., "véhicule tout-terrain" for all-terrain vehicle). No substantive meaning has changed in the existing definitions. A future note flags that the "conservation reserve manager" definition will be revoked. On the fire rules side, two new provisions are being introduced: once in force, anyone who starts or tends a fire in a conservation reserve must not leave it unattended without a responsible person in charge, and the person who started the fire (or whoever is in charge) must take all necessary steps to control and fully extinguish the fire before leaving the site. People who use or manage conservation reserves — including campers, outfitters, and reserve managers — should be aware of the stricter fire-tending obligations coming into effect.
