SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

211 of division O of the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act of 2018 amended 

Title V of FLPMA, 43 U.S.C. 1761–1771, 

to add section 512, codified at 43 U.S.C. 

1772. Section 512 of FLPMA governs 

development, review, and approval of 

proposed operating plans and 

agreements for vegetation management, 

inspection, and operation and 

maintenance of powerline facilities on 

NFS lands. Section 512 of FLPMA 

requires the Forest Service to 

promulgate implementing regulations 

and issue implementing agency 

guidance. The Forest Service 

promulgated regulations implementing 

section 512 of FLPMA on July 10, 2020 

(85 FR 41387). The proposed directive 

would add Chapter 80 to the Special 

Uses Handbook, to implement section 

512 of FLPMA. 

The Forest Service has determined 

that the proposed directive would 

formulate standards, criteria, and 

guidelines applicable to a Forest Service 

program and is therefore publishing the 

proposed directive for public comment 

in accordance with 36 CFR part 216. 

After the public comment period 

closes, the Forest Service will consider 

timely and relevant comments in 

developing the final directive. A notice 

of the final directive, including a 

response to timely and relevant 

comments, will be posted on the Forest 

Service’s web page at https://

www.fs.fed.us/about-agency/ 

regulations-policies/comment-ondirectives.
