(3) In 2005, the Forest Service promulgated a 
Travel Management Rule that required travel man-
agement plans for off-road vehicles, with the excep-
tion of snowmobiles, on all lands managed by the 
Forest Service. 
(4) Under the 2005 Travel Management Rule, 
the Department of Agriculture deemed that the use 
of snowmobiles on National Forest System lands 
presented a different set of management issues and 
environmental impacts on National Forest System 
lands than the use of other types of motor vehicles. 
Therefore, the final rule exempted snowmobiles from 
the mandatory designation scheme provided for 
under section 212.51 of title 36, Code of Federal 
Regulations, but retained the National Forest Sys-
tem’s ability to allow, restrict or prohibit snowmobile 
travel, as appropriate, on a case-by-case basis.

Idaho ruled in the case captioned as Winter 
Wildlands Alliance v. US Forest Service, Case No.

must promulgate travel management rules that in-
clude snowmobiles. The Ninth U.S. District Court of

Idaho required that the final rule be promulgated by 
September 14, 2014, barring no additional exten-
sion. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that the Forest Service should continue to allow 
snowmobiles access to National Forest System lands at 
the same levels as were allowed as of March 28, 2013, 
subject to closures for public health and safety at the dis-
cretion of the respective agencies, until a final travel man-
agement rule is promulgated for snowmobiles.
