| 00-11304 | Special Areas; Roadless Area Conservation | Proposed Rule | The Forest Service is proposing new regulations to protect certain roadless areas within the National Forest System. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit road construction and reconstruction in most inventoried roadless areas of the National Forest System and require evaluation of roadless area characteristics in the context of overall multiple-use objectives during land and resource management plan revisions. This proposal is in response to strong public sentiment for protecting roadless areas and the clean water, biological diversity, wildlife habitat, forest health, dispersed recreational opportunities, and other public benefits provided by these areas. This action also responds to budgetary concerns and the need to balance forest management objectives with funding priorities. The intent of this rulemaking is to provide lasting protection in the context of multiple- use management for inventoried roadless areas and other unroaded areas within the National Forest System. The Forest Service invites written comments on this proposed rule and will analyze and consider those comments in the development of a final rule. | 2000-05-10 | 2000 | 5 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/05/10/00-11304/special-areas-roadless-area-conservation | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-05-10/pdf/00-11304.pdf | Agriculture Department; Forest Service | 12,209 | The Forest Service is proposing new regulations to protect certain roadless areas within the National Forest System.
