Revision Home : Public Comment
Commenting
The Proposed Land Management Plans (LMPs) for the Kootenai National Forest and the Idaho Panhandle National Forest are now available. The 90-day comment period has been extended, so you have until September 9, 2006 to submit written comments. We encourage your comments on all aspects of each Plan. The accompanying document titled Guidance for Submitting Comments (pdf | 92k) will help you focus your review and comments. While all comments will be reviewed, the ones we will consider at this time are those that focus directly on the Proposed Plans. We will not consider comments relating to laws, policies or other matters that are beyond our planning authority. Comments on site-specific decisions are also beyond our planning authority.
Final Land Management Plans will be shared with the public after consideration of comments and changes are made. The opportunity to object to a Final Plan will be during a 30-day objection period before Plan approval. Only individuals or organizations who participated in the planning process through the submission of written comments may object to a Plan
The Proposed Land Management Plans describe our proposed framework for guiding on-the-ground projects and activities. While these Plans do not make any site-specific decisions, such as which roads would be open or closed to motorized use, they will influence which kinds of projects and activities will be considered in the future. The Plans include maps that display areas of general management emphasis called management areas. Additional maps and supporting documentation, such as the Comprehensive Evaluation Report and the Analysis of Management Situation (link to AMS page) are available.
