AI Summary
This bill establishes a categorical exclusion from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for forest management activities carried out jointly by the Secretary of Agriculture and another federal agency, if the other agency has already obtained a categorical exclusion for the proposed activity. The bill allows the Secretary of Agriculture to use the categorical exclusion after obtaining written confirmation from the other agency that it applies to the proposed forest management activity. The bill defines the key terms used and excludes certain lands, such as those in the National Wilderness Preservation System, from the application of the categorical exclusion.
