A use or activity may be determined to be consistent if it will not materially interfere with or detract from the conservation of fish, wildlife and their habitat.
(b)Where an evaluation is made pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321) for a proposed multiple-use activity, and the responsible Forest Officer prepares an environmental impact statement
(EIS)or environmental assessment
(EA)or categorically excludes an activity from documentation in an EA or EIS, the consistency determination required by this section for the use or activity shall be included as a part of the decision document.

(e)Subject to valid existing rights, the responsible Forest Officer may revoke, suspend, restrict, or require modification of any activity if it is determined that such measures are required to conserve wildlife, fish, or their habitat within areas of the Chugach National Forest subject to this subpart.

(f)Decisions made pursuant to this section are subject to appeal only as provided in 36 CFR part 214.
(g)Nothing in this section affects subsistence activities carried out in accordance with § 241.23 of this subpart or other applicable law. \[56 FR 63463, Dec. 4, 1991, as amended at 78 FR 33724, June 5, 2013\]
