The USDA Forest Service is hosting a series of public meetings to provide opportunities for public input and dialogue on the development of a new planning rule.  This input, along with the formal comments received on the Notice of Intent (NOI),  are being used to develop the proposed planning rule and draft environmental impact statement (DEIS), which are expected in December 2010.

The National Forest Management Act (NFMA) of 1976 requires every national forest or grassland managed by the Forest Service to develop and maintain a Land Management Plan (also known as a forest plan).  The process for the development and revision of the plans, along with the required content of plans, is outlined in the planning regulations, or planning rule.  Individual forests and grasslands then follow the direction of the planning rule to develop a land management plan specific to their unit.

The USDA has created  web sites at:

These sites provide information and public meeting dates.
