    SUMMARY:

    The Department is delaying the effective date of this rule. The Department previously delayed the effective date on March 30, 2009.

A Federal Register document will be published in the future that responds to the comments and sets the effective date. The rule regulates the sustainable free use, commercial harvest, and sale of special forest products and forest botanical products from National Forest System lands.
