Planning Rule
The US Forest Service is undertaking a collaborative process to develop a proposed, new Planning Rule to address current and future needs of the 155 national forests and 20 grasslands in the National Forest System. The proposed Planning Rule will provide the framework for individual forests and grasslands to use in developing, amending and revising land management plans. The desired outcome for this collaborative, rule-making process is to create a new Planning Rule that is successful, practical, and supported by the public. The rule must also meet the requirements of the National Forest Management Act of 1976.
