When seeking records about yourself 

from this FAS–IFEDS system of records, 

or any other Department system of 

records, your request must conform 

with the Privacy Act regulations set 

forth in 7 CFR 1.112 (Procedures for 

requests pertaining to individual 

records in a record system.) You must 

submit a written request in accordance 

with the instructions set forth in the 

system of records. 

Provide your full name, date, name of 

system of records, and either: (1) have 

your signature witnessed by a notary; or 

(2) include the following statement 

immediately above the signature on 

your request letter: ‘‘I declare under 

penalty of perjury that the foregoing is 

true and correct. Executed on [date].’’ 

Requests that do not contain the 

required declaration will be processed 

under the Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) and, if records are found, you 

may not receive as much information, 

including information about you. If 

additional information is required to 

fulfill a Privacy Act request, you will be 

notified. If you want records about 

yourself to be released to a third party 

(such as an academic institution, foreign 

government entity, or other organization 

requesting records on your behalf), the 

third party may receive greater access if 

they have permission from you. You 

will need a signed and dated statement 

that the Foreign Agricultural Service 

may release records pertaining to you. 

Include your name; date of birth; name 

of the person or organization to whom 

you want your records disclosed (where 

applicable); their contact information; 

list of records that may be released (all, 

emails, contact records, etc.). The 

person about whom the records will be 

released should include a statement 

indicating that they understand that 

knowingly or willingly seeking records 

about another person under false 

pretenses and or without their consent 

is punishable by a fine of up to $5,000. 

When the request if for one of access, 

the request should include the full name 

of the individual making the request, 

the name of the system of records, a 

statement of whether the requester 

desires to make a personal inspection of 

the records or to be supplied with 

copies by mail or email. In accordance 

with 7 CFR 1.113, prior to inspection of 

the records, the requester shall present 

sufficient identification (e.g. driver’s 

license, employee identification card, 

social security card, credit cards) to 

establish that the requester is the 

individual to whom the records pertain. 

No identification shall be required, 

however, if the records are required by 

5 U.S.C. 552 to be released. If FAS 

determines to grant the requested 

access, fees may be charge in 

accordance with § 1.120 before making 

the necessary copies. In place of a 

notarization, your signature may be 

submitted under 28 U.S.C. 1746, a law 

that permits statements to be made 

under penalty of perjury as a substitute 

for notarization.

Previously Published Directives That 

Have Not Been Finalized 

The following proposed and interim 

directives have been published for 

public comment but have not yet been 

finalized: 

1. Forest Service Manual (FSM) 2200, 

Rangeland Management, Chapters Zero 

Code; 2210, Rangeland Management 

Planning; 2220, Management of 

Rangelands (Reserved); 2230, Grazing 

Permit System; 2240, Rangeland 

Improvements; 2250, Rangeland 

Management Cooperation; and 2270,

2. FSM 3800, Landscape Scale 

Restoration Program. 

Final Directives That Have Been Issued 

Since April 1, 2022 

1. FSM 2710, Special Use 

Authorizations, and FSH 2709.11, 

Special Uses Handbook, Chapter 50, 

Standard Forms and Supplemental 

Clauses. The Forest Service published 

final directives related to the storage 

and use of explosives authorized by 

special use authorizations. Some special 

use permit holders use various types of 

explosives and sometimes military 

munitions for avalanche mitigation, tree 

and rock removal, road construction, 

maintenance, and other construction 

projects. Holders of ski area permits and 

state transportation authorities maintain 

additional magazines for these 

purposes. 

The final directives clarify the role 

and jurisdiction of the Bureau of 

Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and 

Explosives (ATF), the Department of the 

Army, states, and the Forest Service 

over explosives use and storage when 

authorized on National Forest System 

lands, including explosives magazine 

security. These directives provide that 

special use authorization holders that 

are authorized to store and use 

explosives must comply with all ATF 

regulations, state and Army 

requirements, if applicable, and Forest 

Service requirements. The directives 

make compliance with the special use 

authorization contingent upon 

continued compliance with these 

requirements. The directives provide for 

training of permit administrators to 

ensure that they can effectively monitor 

the requirements of a holder’s operating 

plan, including required magazine 

security provisions. The 60-day 

comment period for this directive began 

June 23, 2020, and closed August 22, 

2020. Five public comments were 

received on the proposed directives, 

which can be viewed at https://

cara.fs2c.usda.gov/Public/ 

ReadingRoom?project=ORMS-2226. The 

final directives were issued May 12, 

2022, and can be viewed at https://

wo_2710_Amend-2022-2.docx. 

2. FSM 7700, Travel Management, 

Chapters Zero and 10, Travel Planning. 

The Forest Service has issued final 

directives that clarify how electric 

bicycles (e-bikes) are managed on 

National Forest System lands. The 

directives add a definition of e-bikes as 

a class of motor vehicle, including 

separate definitions for Class 1, 2 and 3 

e-bikes; establish criteria for 

consideration in designating National 

Forest System roads, National Forest 

System trails, and areas on National 

Forest System lands for e-bike use that 

are not currently designated for motor 

vehicle use; update the definition of 

‘‘bicycle,’’ and align Forest Service 

directives with regulations promulgated 

by the U.S. Department of the Interior 

bureaus by adding e-bike definitions 

and requiring site-specific decisionmaking and environmental analysis. 

The 30-day comment period for these 

directives began September 24, 2020, 

and closed October 26, 2020. Over 9,140 

public comments were received on the 

proposed directives, which can be 

viewed at https://cara.fs2c.usda.gov/ 

Public/ReadingRoom?project=ORMS2619. Approximately 6,020 were unique 

letters; only five percent included 

substantive comments. The final 

directives provide for managing all 

classes of e-bikes as motor vehicles and 

require local-level decision-making and 

environmental analysis to allow use of 

e-bikes on non-motorized trails, 

consistent with the Forest Service’s 

Travel Management Rule. The final 

directives were issued March 31, 2022, 

and can be viewed at https://
