Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decision-making process used by the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service in carrying out its mission is costly and time-consuming, and the agency often fails to achieve its planned objectives. The agency has spent over 20 years and over $250 million developing multiyear plans for managing national forests. It also spends about $250 million a year for environmental studies to support individual projects. However, according to an internal Forest Service report, inefficiencies within this process cost up to $100 million a year at the project level alone. In addition, by the time the agency has completed its decision-making, it often finds that it is unable to achieve the plans' objectives or implement planned projects because of new information and events, as well as changes in funding and natural conditions. In response to congressional requests, GAO examined the Forest Service's decision-making process. In this report, GAO discusses the internal and external causes of inefficiency and ineffectiveness in the process: (1) the inadequate attention that the Forest Service has given to improving the process; (2) the lack of agreement, both inside and outside the agency, on how it is to resolve conflicts among competing uses on its lands; (3) unresolved interagency issues that transcend its administrative boundaries and jurisdiction; and (4) differences in the requirements of laws that help frame its decision-making.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Forest Service Meets the Public: Decision-Making and Public Involvement on the Coconino National Forest Development of long-range plans and poli cies, important though they undoubtedly are, usually receives very little public attention. The public usually does not react to planning because there are no specific short-run out comes to focus upon; the long-run aspects bore people. The following three examples of land use planning on the Coconino National Forest indicate this, but provide some insight into the results of not having public input at early stages.

Book excerpt: The paper outlines a process called the science consistency review, which can be used to evaluate the use of scientific information in land management decisions. Developed with specific reference to land management decisions in the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, the process involves assembling a team of reviewers under a review administrator to constructively criticize draft analysis and decision documents. Reviews are then forwarded to the responsible official, whose team of technical experts may revise the draft documents in response to reviewer concerns. The process is designed to proceed iteratively until reviewers are satisfied that key elements are consistent with available scientific information. Variations of the science consistency review have been applied elsewhere, but this paper represents the first effort to standardize the process for application to decisions within the agency.
