Categorical Exclusion for Certain Ski Area Permit Actions

The Forest Service proposes to issue an interim directive to guide its employees in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act when issuance of a ski area permit is a purely ministerial action and no changes are proposed in permitted activities or facilities. The intended effect is to implement a provision of the Omnibus Parks and Public Lands Act of 1996, which states that reissuance of a ski area permit for activities similar in nature and amount to the activities authorized under the previous permit shall not constitute a major Federal action. Public comment is invited and will be considered in adopting an interim directive.
