Alaska: Governor
Submits Comments to USFS on Roadless Rule - Governor Frank
H. Murkowski submitted Alaska's comments to the U.S Forest Service
on a proposed rule that would establish a petition process to
replace the roadless rule adopted at the end of the Clinton administration.
The new rule would establish
an 18-month period in which governors from states with federal
forests containing inventoried roadless areas could file a petition
seeking to establish or modify the management of those areas.
In effect, it would allow state-specific management of roadless
areas and give states a greater voice in how these national forests
are protected. - More...
