LAND AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLANNING HANDBOOK
CHAPTER 1 - PLANNING RECORDS
1.1 - GUIDING PRINCIPLES. Forest Supervisors shall ensure the planning
records specified in 36 CFR 219.10(h) include pertinent records associated with
Forest Plan development, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and amendment.
All records should be assembled and made available to anyone interested. An index
of all records should be developed to facilitate location of specific information and to
serve as a summary of all available background data used to develop the Plan.
A copy of the original data base used to conduct the analysis for the EIS and Plan
should be retained. A hard copy of the raw data used to develop and structure any
analytical tools used should be a part of the planning records, including all
FORPLAN output files for the alternatives analyzed. The planning records must
contain an accurate description of the entire analysis process including inventory
data collection, development of resource yields, sources of economic data,
assumptions used in developing resource relationships, and the process used to
estimate environmental effects.
The planning records should also include documentation of public participation and
public information activities. A record should also be retained of all comments on
the planning and environmental documents made available for public review or
comment.
Minutes should be kept of meetings related to Plan development. As a minimum,
minutes of interdisciplinary and management team meetings must include the date,
the names of attendees, decisions reached and the rationale for those decisions, and
the name and signature of the person who took the minutes.
Annual monitoring and evaluation reports and any related summaries or reports
developed for the 5-year Plan review must be included as part of the planning
records. The Forest Plan implementation records include project files pertaining to
any Plan amendments.
