Benchmark: USDA Forest Service Project-Level Predecisional Administrative Review Process (36 CFR Part 218) Proposed Rule

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on the Proposed Rule for Forest Service Project-Level Predecisional Administrative Review Process (36 CFR Part 218).

This quick check surfaces how well you already grasp the rule’s intent, who is affected, and what will change in practice. It focuses on implications and trade-offs, not memorizing citations.

What you will get:

• A sense of how the proposed consolidation and modernization could change timelines, roles, and participation.
• Clarity on who can comment or object, how Tribal engagement fits, and what qualifies as substantive input.
• Insight into trade-offs like speed vs meaningful participation, consistency vs local flexibility, and digital access vs inclusion.
• A reality check on readiness: what to do differently to preserve eligibility and make your input count.

Why take it now? Benchmarks are taken before the course to identify knowledge gaps and prioritize your study time. If the prompts feel tricky or you are torn between plausible options, the course will help you build confidence, avoid missteps, and participate more effectively while the rule is still proposed and open to change.
