SUMMARY: The Forest Service, U.S.
Department of Agriculture is resuming
preparation of the National Forests in
Mississippi revised land management
plan as directed by the National Forest
Management Act (NFMA). Preparation
of the revised plan was halted when the
2005 Forest Service planning rule was
enjoined. A new planning rule (36 CFR
Part 219) took effect on April 21, 2008,
allowing the planning process to be
resumed. This notice marks the
resumption of the National Forests in
Mississippi plan revision process under
the new planning rule.
DATES: This notice is effective on
October 24, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Bienville, Delta, De Soto, Holly Springs,
Homochitto, and Tombigbee National
Forests are managed as a single
administrative unit (National Forests in
Mississippi). Notification of adjustment
of the plan revision process for the
National Forests in Mississippi land
management plan was provided in the
Federal Register on July 27, 2005 (70 FR
43391). The plan revision was being
developed under the planning
procedures contained in the 2005 Forest
Service planning rule (36 CFR 219
(2005)). On March 30, 2007, the Federal
district court for the Northern District of
California enjoined the Department from
implementing and using the 2005
planning rule until the Agency
complied with the court’s order
regarding the National Environmental
Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act,
and the Administrative Procedure Act
(Citizens for Better Forestry v. USDA,
481 F. Supp 2d 1059 (N.D. Cal. 2007)).
Revision of the National Forests in
Mississippi land management plan
under the (36 CFR 219 (2005)) rule was
suspended in response to the
injunction. On April 21, 2008, following
a notice and comment opportunity,
completion of an environmental impact
statement and consultation under the
Endangered Species Act, the
Department of Agriculture promulgated
a new planning rule (36 CFR part 219
(2008)). This new planning rule
explicitly allows the resumption of plan
revisions started under the 2005 rule
based on a finding that the revision
process conforms to the new planning
rule (36 CFR 219.14(b)(3)(ii)).
Prior to the injunction of the 2005
planning rule, the National Forests in
Mississippi had substantially engaged
the public in collaboration efforts to
develop plan components, completed a
draft Comprehensive Evaluation Report,
worked with the scientific community
on addressing concerns for species
viability and sustainability to be
addressed in the revised plan, had
developed the model for timber
suitability and sustainability analysis,
and had completed initial drafts of
major plan components.
Based on the discussions above, I find
that the planning actions taken prior to
