Title: Administration of the Forest Development Transportation System 
Abstract: The Forest Service proposes to revise 36 CFR part 212 to address changes in how the National Forest System transportation road system is developed, used, maintained, and funded. The proposed revisions at 36 CFR part 212 will include a comprehensive science-based policy for the future. Expected features of the proposed revision will include (1) guidance for decommissioning unneeded roads; (2) expanded policy to update road construction, design, and maintenance requirements; and (3) guidance on expenditure priorities for limited funds. The intended effect of the proposed revisions will be to reduce environmental impacts from road construction and reconstruction activities and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of road maintenance and expenditure of limited road dollars.
