<br><br>link no workie.<br><br>Found this on what needs to be in an appeal..<br><br>The DN or ROD is what you are actually appealing. Once the ROD is published, you have 45 days to submit an appeal. Appeals are usually based on the FS’s failure to follow the law or their own policies and procedures. An appeal must contain 7 things: A statement that the document is an appeal pursuant to 36 CFR Part 216, the Appellant's (that's you) name, address and phone number, the title and subject of the decision document (DN or ROD), the date of the decision, the name and title of the Deciding Officer, the specific change(s) in the decision you seek, and a statement of reasons that describes how you believe the decision violates laws, regulations or policy. After the DN or ROD is published, nothing happens for 45 days. If you submit an appeal then the project is put on hold until the Appeal Deciding Officer decides your appeal. Then the project is subject to a "stay" of fifteen days after the appeal is decided. The Appeal Deciding Officer is usually just the person higher up in the chain of command. If your appeal is denied than the project continues and your only recourse is the courts. If it is accepted than the project stops, is modified, or an EIS is performed, depending on what you asked for in the appeal and whatever side arrangements you decide to make with the agency.For those who want to make sure that their appeal is taken seriously (or even accepted as valid), you will want to take the time to carefully analyze Code of Federal Regulations 36 CFR 215.14 (Content of an Appeal).<br><br>This Federal code section, refereced in the official Record of Decision Section 9.0, provides detailed information required for an appeal to be considered valid.<br><br>I have not reviewed the above copied TGR letter to see if it meets all of these criteria, but those hoping for serious consideration of their appeal should read the CFR carefully.<br><br>I will attempt to post a link to a site where you can obtain this code section below:<br><br> frwebgate1.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/waisga...&WAISaction=retrieve
