Administrative Site Leases
Key claim: The Forest Service would stop treating leases of its own administrative sites like ordinary special-use permits, so those leases could follow more ordinary private real-estate practices.
Abstract
(Proposed Rule · Agriculture Department, Forest Service) The United States Department of Agriculture (Department), Forest Service (Forest Service or Agency), is proposing to amend its land use regulations to exempt administrative site leases from the regulations for special uses. The purpose of this deregulatory action is to better align Forest Service leasing activities with private real estate market practices.
Why this matters
The Forest Service proposes to exempt administrative site leases from special-use regulations to align agency leasing practices with private real estate market norms.
