Travel Analysis
In November 2005, the Forest Service issued the Travel Management Rule (TMR) for designation of roads, trails, and areas to be identified on a motorized vehicle use map (36 CFR 212.56). The TMR requires that the Forest Service designate a system of roads, trails, and areas for motor vehicle use by vehicle class and, if appropriate, by time of year. The process for implementing the TMR includes performing a Travel Analysis Process.
This report is the Travel Analysis Process (TAP) for the Gila National Forest and is not a decision process. The TAP provides the framework and the explanation of the Forest process from which recommendations for designation are outlined that may be examined in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. The NEPA process provides the basis, including formal public involvement, for making decisions. Read more about the Travel Analysis Process.
Grazing Management
Grazing permitees are individuals or organizations who have acquired the privilege to graze livestock on National Forest or National Grasslands. The USDA Forest Service supports livestock grazing on National Forest System lands. We believe that grazing on these lands, if responsibly done, provides a valuable resource to the livestock owners, as well as the American people.
How do I get a grazing permit?
What are my responsibilities as a grazing permit holder?
Managing a livestock operation on National Forest System lands requires a great deal of coordination and cooperation between the producer and the Forest Service.
Annual Operating Instructions (AOIs) provide a set of instructions that guide the management of forest land. These are listed by Ranger District.

What happens if the terms of the grazing permit are violated?
On occasion, a permit holder may violate certain terms and conditions of the grazing permit. When this happens, the Forest Service will initially attempt to resolve the situation in an informal manner, usually in person or a phone conversation with the permit holder. Most instances of violations are resolved in this manner. In those uncommon instances, when a violation cannot be resolved informally the formal processes are included below. 36 CFR Chapter 10 directs the agency on how to initiate and proceed with the formalized process.
