style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Glad to see that AHPA was able to submit comments for this. I wish that this list had more of a roll in discussion. To me, the following announcement appeared to be relevant to Alaska. Sorry, but frankly as most people do I often scan emails and this one had Alaska written all over it. Since it is calling for revisions to the Alaska Administrative Code and comments were to be sent to DNR in Alaska, excuse me but, if public comment were really important to DNR on this matter, it might have been valuable to make it more clear that this rule affects collection in the lower 49 states. Here in PA when I called the Forest Service to ask how to request permission to harvest teaberry, black cohosh and aralia on a recently clearcut large piece of state forest land I was connected to four different people who did not know procedure, was told they'd find out and call back, and never heard back from them. Granted this was state land not national forest land. None the less, DNR might want to think about more effective public outreach (even though public comment is such a nuisance) and might also want to do some outreach to their state siblings. Democracy may be a bit quicker without including everyone but then, that isn't really the point, is it? At any rate, glad some of the people got to put their two cents in. Perhaps next time this list could work openly on a participatory democratic process of discussion and accord, and submit a group comment. Even if we never reached a point of agreement, it might inspire a few more citizens to throw some cents into the mix. So long as people are not too busy and important for participatory democracy, it would be nice to give it a chance to work. <br>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>(January 25, 2008) — The American Herbal Products Association (AHPA)
has submitted comments to the USDA Forest Service in response to that agency’s
proposed rule governing the sale and disposal of nontimber forest products that
are harvested on National Forest System lands. The proposed rule, which was
issued last October, sets requirements for the Forest Service to monitor such
harvests and ensure that they occur at sustainable levels, and establishes
programs for collection of fees from harvesters. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>“Our National Forests and National Grasslands provide many commercially
valuable plants to the trade,” said AHPA President Michael McGuffin. “AHPA and
its members are committed to sustainable use of our plant resources and we
applaud the Forest Service for its management efforts. We are also supportive
of reasonable fees that can be used to manage those resources, but those fees
must be established at levels that do not disrupt the income of individual
collectors and other small businesses that are engaged in sustainable harvest
operations.” <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Among its comments to the Forest Service, AHPA suggested that fees for
harvested forest products be calculated at the point of harvest, rather than
further along the distribution or value-added chain, and that these fees should
be 3 percent of each product’s value at the point of harvest. AHPA also
suggested that existing resources should be used in both monitoring and pricing
activities. These include AHPA’s tonnage surveys, the AHPA/AHP Good
Agricultural and Collection Practice for Herbal Raw Materials(1), and the
ISSC-MAP(2).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
