This bill requires the U.S. Forest Service to increase public transparency when selecting projects for its Legacy Road and Trail Remediation Program, which funds the repair and removal of old roads and trails on national forests. The legislation would require the Forest Service to publish an annual list of all projects being considered for funding in each of its nine regions, accept public comments on those projects, and explain how those comments influenced final funding decisions. The bill also mandates that published lists include each project's regional ranking, a description of what the project aims to accomplish, and a summary of public feedback received. The changes apply directly to how the Forest Service manages this remediation program going forward, affecting both the agency's decision-making process and the public's ability to weigh in on which forest projects get funded.
