The Northern, Rocky Mountain, Southwestern, and Intermountain Regions of the USDA Forest Service are extending the public comment period through October 12, 2007, for the proposed directives for the planning, development, and management of the CDNST. The notice of proposed directives was first published in Federal Register Notice Vol. 72, No. 112, on Tuesday, June 12, 2007. After considering comments, the USDA Forest Service proposes to issue a supplemental directive for each Region. The directives would also amend the CDNST Comprehensive Plan of 1985.

Policy direction is needed to clarify the nature and purposes of the CDNST and to align the CDNST planning with USDA Forest Service land management planning processes. The directives would have no effect on the ground until sitespecific planning decisions are completed, with additional opportunity for public involvement. Additional information regarding this proposed directive can be found on the Internet at:
