Sec. 1610.4-2  Development of planning criteria.

    The District or Area Manager shall prepare criteria to guide 
development of the resource management plan or revision, to ensure that 
it is tailored to the issues previously identified and to ensure that 
unnecessary data collection and analyses are avoided. Planning criteria 
shall generally be based upon applicable law, Director and State 
Director guidance, the results of public participation and coordination 
with other Federal agencies, State and local governments and Indian 
tribes. Proposed planning criteria, including any significant changes, 
shall be made available for public comment prior to being approved by 
the District manager for use in the planning process. Planning criteria 
may be changed as planning proceeds, based on public suggestions and the 
findings of the various studies and assessments.
