...the Dept of the Interior / US Forest Service is responsible...

The U.S. Foresf Service is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) not Interior.

The United States Department of the Interior (DOI) is the United States federal executive department of the U.S. government responsible for the management and conservation of most federal lands and natural resources, and the administration of programs relating to Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, territorial affairs, and insular areas of the United States. About 75% of federal public land is managed by the department, with most of the remainder managed by the United States Department of Agriculture's United States Forest Service.

They both have their hands in this pie.
