MAY 4, 2001 The US Department of Agriculture today will announce its plans to keep a set of regulations limiting road-construction and logging on 60 million acres of federal forest land, according to a number of media reports. The Washington Post, The Associated Press, and the New York Times all report that officials yesterday said the rules will stay intact but that the administration will allow changes on a case-by-case basis. A number of Republican lawmakers, Western Governors, industry groups, and at least one tribe oppose the rules. The Bush administration was expected to scrap them altogether or come to a settlement with states who have filed lawsuits. Get the Story:
