Federal agencies would not have to re-check land plans for new endangered species.
This bill, called the FIR Act, would change how federal agencies manage public lands. It would mean the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management would not have to re-check their land plans. This applies when a new endangered species is listed or new facts come out about existing species. This change could affect environmental protections and how federal lands are used.
Today, federal agencies like the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management must re-examine their land plans if a new endangered species is found or new information about existing species comes to light. If this bill passes, these agencies would no longer be required to do those re-examinations under those specific circumstances.
