(1) The objector’s name and address 

along with a telephone number or email 

address if available; in cases where no 

identifiable name is attached to an 

objection, the Forest Service will 

attempt to verify the identity of the 

objector to confirm objection eligibility; 

(2) Signature or other verification of 

authorship upon request (a scanned 

signature for electronic mail may be 

filed with the objection); 

(3) Identification of the lead objector 

when multiple names are listed on an 

objection. The Forest Service will 

communicate to all parties to an 

objection through the lead objector. 

Verification of the identity of the lead 

objector must also be provided if 

requested; 

(4) The name of the plan, plan 

amendment, or plan revision being 

objected to, and the name and title of 

the responsible official;

parts of the plan, plan amendment, or

applies; 

(6) A concise statement explaining the 

objection and suggesting how the draft 

plan decision may be improved. If the 

objector believes that the plan, plan 

amendment, or plan revision is 

inconsistent with law, regulation, or 

policy, an explanation should be 

included; 

(7) A statement that demonstrates the 

link between the objector’s prior 

substantive formal comments and the 

content of the objection, unless the 

objection concerns an issue that arose 

after the opportunities for formal 

comment; and 

(8) All documents referenced in the 

objection (a bibliography is not 

sufficient), except the following need 

not be provided: 

a. All or any part of a Federal law or 

regulation, 

b. Forest Service Directive System 

documents and land management plans 

or other published Forest Service

related to the proposal subject to 

objection, and

provided to the Forest Service by the 

objector during the proposed plan, plan 

amendment, or plan revision comment 

period. 

It is the responsibility of the objector 

to ensure that the reviewing officer 

receives the objection in a timely 

manner. The regulations prohibit 

extending the length of the objection 

filing period (36 CFR 219.56(d)). 

Responsible Official 

The responsible official who will 

approve the ROD and the revised Forest
