Sec.  1610.4-1  Identification of issues.



    At the outset of the planning process, the public, other Federal 

agencies, State and local governments and Indian tribes shall be given 

an opportunity to suggest concerns, needs, and resource use, development 

and protection opportunities for consideration in the preparation of the 

resource management plan. The Field Manager, in collaboration with any 

cooperating agencies, will analyze those suggestions and other available 

data, such as records of resource conditions, trends, needs, and 

problems, and select topics and determine the issues to be addressed 

during the planning process. Issues may be modified during the planning 

process to incorporate new information. The identification of issues 

shall also comply with the scoping process required by regulations 

implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (40 CFR 1501.7).
