This project is needed to improve cool and warm season grass pasture conditions and enhance native plant communities in grazing allotments, hay production areas, wildlife areas, and wildlife openings.
The Forest Service values public participation. Communications from the public regarding this project, including commenters' names and contact information, will become part of the public record. Comments, including anonymous comments, will be accepted at any time. However, comments posted after the close of a designated comment period may not be able to be given full consideration. Anonymous comments and comments submitted after the close of the final designated comment period will not provide the commenter standing for administrative review. Comments, or in some cases other expressions of interest, along with respondent's contact information, submitted during the comment period may be necessary to establish a respondent's eligibility to participate in an administrative review for this proposed action. Interested members of the public should review the proposal's information to determine the applicable administrative review process and the eligibility requirements for that process.
Note: This proposal initiated public comment after the publication of the proposed amendment to the regulations at 36 CFR 218 in the Federal Register on February 6, 2026 (91 FR 5387). This proposal and the associated EA, FONSI and ROD may be subject to the revised administrative review process if the final 36 CFR 218 rule is published before the proposal’s objection period is initiated. Otherwise, this proposal will follow the administrative review process established prior to the proposed rule.
