Objections to the Forest Plan amendment under 36 CFR Part 219 will be accepted only from those who have previously submitted timely substantive formal comments on the proposed plans amendment during scoping or other designated opportunities for public comment in accordance with 36 CFR 219.53(a).
Issues raised in objections must be based on those in the previously submitted, timely, specific written or substantive formal comments, unless the issues are based on new information arising after designated comment opportunities (36 CFR 218.8(c) and 36 CFR 219.53(a)). The Objections must contain the minimum content requirements specified in 36 CFR 218.8(d) for objections on the proposed project, and 36 CFR 219.54(c) for objections on the Forest Plan Amendment. Incorporating documents by reference is permitted only as provided in 36 CFR 218.8(d) and 36 CFR 219.54(b).
