| E7-16378 | National Forest System Land Management Planning | Proposed Rule | The Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, is providing notice and opportunity for comment on a proposed rule for National Forest System land management planning. This rulemaking is the result of a U.S. district court order dated March 30, 2007, which enjoined the United States Department of Agriculture from implementation and utilization of the land management planning rule published in 2005 (70 FR 1023) until it complies with the court's order regarding the National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act (Citizens for Better Forestry et al. v. USDA, C.A. C05-1144 (N. D. Cal.)). The purpose of this proposed rule is to respond to the court's ruling about notice and comment requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act by publishing the 2005 rule as a proposed rule. The Agency plans to comply with the court's order regarding the Endangered Species Act. In addition, the Agency is preparing a draft environmental impact statement under the National Environmental Policy Act. This proposed rule sets forth a framework for National Forest System land management planning to provide for sustainability of social, economic, and ecological systems and establishes direction for developing, amending, and revising land management plans. The proposed rule clarifies that, absent extraordinary circumstances, land management plans developed, amended, or revised under the proposed rule are strategic and are one stage in an adaptive cycle of planning for management of National Forest System lands. The intent of the proposed rule is to streamline and improve the planning process by making plans more adaptable to changes in social, economic, and environmental conditions; to strengthen the role of science in planning; to strengthen collaborative relationships with the public and other governmental entities; and to reaffirm the principle of sustainable management consistent with the Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield Act and other authorities. | 2007-08-23 | 2007 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2007/08/23/E7-16378/national-forest-system-land-management-planning | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-08-23/pdf/E7-16378.pdf | Agriculture Department; Forest Service | 12,209 | The Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, is providing notice and opportunity for comment on a proposed rule for National Forest System land management planning.
