enter a consent recommendation. Such consent recommendation shall be 
filed with the Hearing Clerk, signed by the parties with appropriate 
space for signature by the Judge. The consent recommendation shall 
contain an admission of the jurisdictional facts, the factual and legal 
basis for the recommended sourcing area, the consent to the issuance of 
the recommended decision as the final decision of the agency without 
further procedure and such other admissions or statements as may be 
recommended by the parties. The Judge shall review the recommendation to 
determine whether such recommendation conforms with the Forest Resources 
Conservation and Shortage Relief Act of 1990 (16 U.S.C. 620, et seq.), 
36 CFR 223.190, 36 CFR 223.191(e) and these procedures. If the 
recommendation conforms to the aforementioned Act, regulations, and 
procedures, the Judge may enter such decision without further procedure, 
unless an error is apparent on the face of the document. If the Judge 
enters the decision, such decision shall have the same force and effect 
as a decision issued after full hearing and shall become final upon 
issuance to become effective in accordance with the terms of the 
decision.
