SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 21st
Century Conservation Service Corps
(21CSC) is a public-private partnership
that employs young adults, veterans,
and emerging professionals to
strengthen infrastructure, boost local
economies and multiply returns on our
country’s most valuable assets: Its
unmatched landscapes and people. A
Public Lands Corps program, 21CSC
projects support conservation priorities
and develop the next generation of
conservation stewards. The 21CSC
projects are diverse and support all
facets of Forest Service work. Program
objectives are to build rural and urban
economies, promote workforce
development and hiring outcomes,
address facility and maintenance
backlogs and improve infrastructure,
and increase public and private sector
collaboration on Forest Service land
management projects or programs.
The Resource Assistants Program
(RAP) is a rigorous and immersive paid
experience for U.S. citizens or
permanent residents interested in
natural and cultural resources careers
who are at least 17 years old. Resource
assistants are recruited by partner
organizations and work under the
direction of Forest Service staff to
accomplish mission-critical work that
develops leadership, critical thinking,
and strategic communication skills.
Through collaboration, coaching, and

mentorship, resource assistants launch
their careers and expand their
understanding of our Nation’s natural
and cultural resources and land
management priorities. Women and
recent graduates from institutions of
higher education, especially Historically
Black Colleges and Universities,
Hispanic-Serving Institutions, and
Tribal Colleges and Universities, are
strongly encouraged to apply to
opportunities posted with our partner
organizations. Program objectives are to
attract and retain a diverse and
inclusive workforce, accomplish
mission-critical work and high priority
projects, promote career exploration and
professional development for recent
graduates and underrepresented
populations, and facilitate Forest
Service coaching and mentoring of
emerging professionals.
The Forest Service has determined
that the changes to the manual
formulate standards, criterion, or
guidelines applicable to a Forest Service
program and is therefore publishing the
proposed manual for public comment in
accordance with 36 CFR part 216. The
Forest Service is seeking public
comment on the proposed directive,
including the sufficiency of the
proposed directives in meeting its stated
objectives, ways to enhance the utility
and clarity of information within the
direction, and ways to streamline
processes outlined.
Forest Service National
Environmental Policy Act procedures
exclude from documentation in an
environmental assessment or impact
statement ‘‘rules, regulations, or policies
to establish servicewide administrative
procedures, program processes, or
instructions.’’ 36 CFR 220.6(d)(2). The
Agency’s conclusion is that these
proposed directives fall within this
category of actions and that no
extraordinary circumstances exist as
currently defined that require
preparation of an environmental
assessment or an environmental impact
statement.
After the public comment period
closes, the Forest Service will consider
timely comments that are within the
scope of the proposed directives in the
development of the final directives. A
notice of the final directives, including
a response to timely comments, will be
posted on the Forest Service’s web page
at https://www.fs.fed.us/about-agency/
regulations-policies.
