View Rule

The Forest Service plans to publish a proposed directive to establish national saw programmatic direction and address this policy void. This proposed directive is necessary to ensure the safe use of saws on national norests and grasslands throughout the country. Chain saws and crosscut saws are dangerous tools that can inflict severe and sometimes critical injuries if not used properly. Once the proposed directive is published in the Federal Register, the public will be given an opportunity to comment and help refine the proposed policy directives prior to final implementation.
