12/14/01
Interim Direction - 7710-2001-3 - Transportation Atlas, Records, and Analysis
- This Interim Directive (ID) revises Chapter 7710 by removing the interim requirements of section 7712.16 which addressed road management activities in inventoried roadless and contiguous unroaded areas and by reserving to the Chief decision authority over some road construction and reconstruction in roadless and unroaded areas. While removed from Chapter 7710, the direction in ID 7710-2001-2 remains in effect with some change and has been simultaneously reissued as an ID to Chapter 1920. This ID consists of the entire Chapter 7710.
12/14/01
Interim Direction - 1920-2001-1 - Land and Resource Management Planning - Expired June 14, 2003
- This Interim Directive (ID) implements the Chief's 1230/1920 letter of June 7, 2001, regarding Delegation of Authority/Interim Protection of Roadless Areas. Previously issued as ID's No. 2400-2001-2 and 7710-2001-2, the roadless area direction is being relocated to FSM 1920, because allocation of roadless areas is a planning function, not an engineering or transportation analysis function.
