SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

II. Discussion of the Changes to the Existing 

Forest Management Rule and Changes 

From the Proposed Rule to Final Rule 

III. Procedural Matters 

I. Background 

The BLM initiated this rulemaking on 

June 8, 2020, through publication of a 

notice of proposed rulemaking in the 

Federal Register seeking public 

comment for 60 days (85 FR 35049). The 

comment period closed on August 7, 

2020, and the BLM received a total of 

2,760 comments. The BLM received 

comments from individuals, 

organizations, business, county, state, 

and Federal entities or representatives. 

The BLM has provided a summary of 

substantive comments and its response 

to the comments in the discussion 

section of this final rule. 

This final rule revises the BLM’s 

regulations addressing its forest 

management decision process, sales of 

forest products, preparation for sale, 

award of contract, contract 

modifications, and non-sale disposal. 

Pursuant to the Oregon and California 

Grant Lands Act (O&C Act) and the Coos 

Bay Wagon Road Grant Lands Act 

(CBWR Act) (43 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.), 

jointly referred to as the O&C Act, the 

BLM is required to manage 

approximately 2.4 million acres of lands 

in Western Oregon for forest production 

in conformity with the principle of 

sustained yield. In accordance with the 

O&C Act, the BLM declares the 

allowable sale quantity (ASQ) of timber 

for each sustained yield unit in its 

Resource Management Plans (RMPs) for 

western Oregon and then offers for sale 

a volume of timber equal to the declared 

ASQ on an annual basis. See Swanson 

v. Bernhardt, No. 1:15–cv–01419 

(D.D.C.) (September 30, 2019 Order). 

The O&C Act is a dominant use statute 

for sustained yield timber production. 

Under the Materials Act of 1947 (30 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); and other legal 

authorities, the BLM is authorized to 

convey timber and other vegetative 

materials on other lands that the BLM
