Question: Section F. Additional Areas for Consideration: In addition to the topics described above, the NEPA Task Force will consider comments on NEPA practices that would improve and modernize NEPA implementation.

Response: There is NOTHING wrong with the format, what is wrong is the laziness of the federal workers who prepare the shoddy documents we review right now. The contracted ones have the same ridiculous flaws, they have the same goals, to do what the agency wants no matter how bad it is for the resource or the community, and their is a failure to write a clean, compliant docuement. There should be an investigation of the Nevada and Ely BLM offices and other federal agencies that operate in Nevada for their utter failure to comply with NEPA again and again. The way they intrude into local goverment to control outcome of NEPA comments and the way they encourage lawsuits to avoid good land management. Every employee that has encouraged a green law suit should reimburse the public for that law suit, every federal employee who has encouraged contractors to write outcome based documents rather than impartial reviews should be fired, every employee that has meddeled at the local government level should be tried and fired, but since that has not even concerned the federal government yet, I don't expect anything now.
