Title: Management of National Forest System Surface Resources With Privately Held Mineral Estates 
Abstract: The Forest Service is preparing to promulgate regulations to provide clarity and direction on the management of the National Forest System surface resources when the mineral estate is privately held. The proposed regulation will be consistent with the Access to Non-Federal Lands regulations at 36 CFR subpart D. The proposed rule making is also intended to fulfill the mandate set forth by section 2508 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, Public Law 102-486, 106 Stat. 3108-3109, which has been codified at 30 U.S.C. 226(o), concerning private oil and gas development on the Allegheny National Forest. Section 2508 requires 60-day prior notification and clarifies content requirements of the notification. The Forest Service invites public comment as it prepares for this rule making.
