Title: Land Management Planning Handbook, Land Management Plan (FSH 1909.12, Chapter 10) | |
Abstract: The Forest Service plans to issue an interim directive to FSH 1909.12, chapter 10, which was last issued January 31, 2006, and in addition, plans to publish notice in the Federal Register of a 60-day comment period. There is an immediate need to issue interim direction in the Forest Service Handbook to aid consistent interpretation and application of the direction on land management planning by agency personnel. The interim directive would make minor changes in the guidance for writing plan components, the monitoring program, and consideration of individual resources. The need for these changes is based on reviews of proposed land management plans under the 2005 planning rule. Specific changes include the guidance about writing desired conditions, objectives, and the suitability of areas. For desired conditions, guidance is needed to require additional specificity. For objectives, additional guidance is needed. For suitability of areas, guidance is needed to require general suitability of variety of multiple uses, such as outdoor recreation, range, timber, watershed, or wildlife and fish purposes and not tools such as prescribed fire. | |
