Special Rules Applicable to Public Land Hearings and Appeals; Grazing Administration-Exclusive of Alaska, Administrative Remedies; Grazing Administration-Effect of Wildfire Management Decisions; Administration of Forest Management Decisions

The Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) is proposing to amend its existing regulations governing hearings and appeals to simplify proof of service, to codify who has a right of appeal, and to expedite its review of wildfire management decisions. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is adding regulations to make its wildfire management decisions effective immediately and to expedite review of those decisions. The amendments and additions to both OHA and BLM regulations are needed to clarify and expedite administrative review procedures.
