On October 3, 2008, H.R. 1424 became Public Law (P.L.) 110-343. Section 601 in Division C of H.R. 1424 reauthorized and amended the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 as originally enacted in P.L. 106-393. The new law contains a complex new payment formula and other significant changes. This information is based on our initial analysis of how the Forest Service will implement the legislation and will be updated as new information is developed.

Over the next few years, the national forests in California, including the Six Rivers, will complete an inventory of all the roads, trails, and areas used by off-highway vehicles, identify a system of routes from that inventory, and designate those routes/areas for off-highway vehicle use.

Many of the Six River's developed recreation sites were built 30-50 years ago. Some sites no longer serve projected recreation demand; some facilities are in poor shape and do not meet visitors' expectations. To respond to these conditions and national direction, the forest is implementing the Recreation Facility Analysis process for developed recreation sites.
