National Forest System Land and Resource Management Planning;
Removal of 2000 Planning Rule

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

SUMMARY: The Department of Agriculture is issuing a final rule to
remove the November 9, 2000, National Forest System Land and Resource
Management Planning regulations at Title 36, Code of Federal
Regulations, part 219, subpart A, in their entirety. Subsequent to the
publication of the 2000 planning rule, several amendments were
published to revise certain sections of the rule and to provide for
transition to the 2000 rule. This action to remove the 2000 rule is
being taken before the adoption of the new 2004 planning rule to
clarify and avoid any confusion about which planning regulations the
Department intends to be used to implement the National Forest
Management Act of 1976. Elsewhere in this part of today's Federal
Register, the Department is simultaneously publishing another final
rule to add the new (2004) planning regulations at 36 CFR part 219,
subpart A.
