Forest Service Manual (FSM) 2600
Index of Documents:
Some chapters, because of their length, are
organized into several documents.
Additionally, interim directives (IDs) and some
tables of contents and exhibits are separate documents.
Service-wide Issuances:
Line officers at the Forest Service
headquarters office in Washington, DC, have the
authority to issue direction that sets forth
authorities, management objectives, policies,
responsibilities, delegations, standards,
procedures, and other instructions that are
continuing and that apply to or are needed by more
than one unit.
Field Issuances:
Regional Foresters, Forest Supervisors, Research
Station Directors, the Northeastern Area Director
for State and Private Forestry, and the Director
of the International Institute of Tropical Forestry
may supplement Service-wide direction. However,
District Rangers and Research Project Leaders do not
have authority to issue supplements. Supplements
may be more restrictive than parent material, but
cannot expand the authorities or relax restrictions
unless approved in writing by the next higher
official.
