Abstract
The Department is amending the rules governing who can participate in administrative appeals of decisions authorizing National Forest System projects and activities, by removing a prohibition on appeals by Forest Service employees. This regulatory change results from a reassessment of this provision in response to a recent legal challenge. Public comment is invited on this interim rule and will be considered in promulgating a final rule.
