| 2020-23984 | Special Areas; Roadless Area Conservation; National Forest System Lands in Alaska | Rule | The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA or Department), is adopting a final rule to exempt the Tongass National Forest from the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule (2001 Roadless Rule), which prohibits timber harvest and road construction/reconstruction with limited exceptions within designated inventoried roadless areas. In addition, the rule directs an administrative change to the timber suitability of lands deemed unsuitable, solely due to the application of the 2001 Roadless Rule, in the 2016 Tongass National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Tongass Forest Plan or Forest Plan), Appendix A. The rule does not authorize any ground-disturbing activities, nor does it increase the overall amount of timber harvested from the Tongass National Forest. | 2020-10-29 | 2020 | 10 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/10/29/2020-23984/special-areas-roadless-area-conservation-national-forest-system-lands-in-alaska | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-10-29/pdf/2020-23984.pdf | Agriculture Department; Forest Service | 12,209 | The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA or Department), is adopting a final rule to exempt the Tongass National Forest from the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule (2001 Roadless Rule), which prohibits timber harvest and road... |
