0596-AD57 202410 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0596 Forest Service FS 0500 Department of Agriculture USDA Criminal Prohibitions in 36 CFR Part 261, Subparts A and B

The Forest Service proposes to revise 36 CFR part 261, subparts A and B, pertaining to law enforcement on National Forest System lands. The rule would move certain criminal prohibitions currently in 36 CFR part 261, subpart B, which are enforced through the issuance of an order, to 36 CFR part 261, subpart A, which contains criminal prohibitions that are enforceable without the issuance of an order. The rule would streamline enforcement of these prohibitions as well as enhance consistency of the Forest Service’s law enforcement practices with those of state and other federal land management law enforcement agencies. This rule would meet the Administration's priority to improve service delivery, customer experience, and reduce administrative burdens for those accessing public benefits and services.
