    AGENCY:

    Forest Service, USDA.

    ACTION:

    Correcting amendments.

    SUMMARY:

    This document contains corrections to the final rule governing the Forest Service's Special Use Program that was published in the Federal Register on December 24, 2009 (74 FR 68379). These corrections add phrases which were inadvertently omitted from the final rule and which are necessary to reflect properly the Forest Service's authority to revoke or suspend special use authorizations under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    In 36 CFR 251.60(a)(2)(i) and (ii), governing revocation and suspension of special use authorizations, the phrase “§ 251.53(e) and (1)” is replaced with “§ 251.53(e) or an easement issued under § 251.53(l).” In 36 CFR 251.60(g), also governing revocation and suspension of special use authorizations, “§ 251.53(e) and (l)” is replaced with “§ 251.53(e) or easements issued under § 251.53(l).” These corrections are necessary to continue to reflect that only revocation or suspension of an easement, not a permit, is subject to formal administrative proceedings under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act.
