* These GIS overlays were prepared from coverages compiled at various scales and resolutions.  To account for the differences in scales and resolutions, a percent-area by attribute was calculated for each characteristic overlay layer.  The acres in each roadless category/characteristic attribute were calculated by multiplying percent-area and total acreages from the Inventoried Roadless Area coverage.  Derived acres have been rounded to the nearest 1,000 acres.
** Characteristic layer information was not available for Puerto Rico, therefore the 23,733 IRA acres on the Caribbean NF are not included in the national summary.  Fire Condition Class, Fire Regimes, or Land Cover Class information was not available for Alaska.  Therefore, the 14,820,498 IRA acres on the Chugach NF and Tongass NF are not included in the national summaries of those categories.
