Announced - July 7, 2004
The Forest Service is announcing its
draft proposal for public comment regarding a national
approach to govern OHV and other motor vehicle use on
national forests and grasslands. The proposed rule
would allow the agency to improve how it manages this
use by balancing the public's enjoyment of using OHVs
with ensuring the best possible care of the land. For
