Noise is one of the most frequently cited impacts of OHV use on other visitors. Does the Forest Service plan on regulating vehicle noise levels?
A. Respondents representing a wide range of interests, including OHV user groups and manufacturers, have asked the Forest Service to consider establishing a maximum noise level for OHVs operating on NFS lands. Some states already regulate noise, and standards differ from state to state. No noise regulation is included in this final rule, but the agency anticipates addressing this issue in future rulemaking.
