REPORT BY THE


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES


Mineral Data In The Forest

Service's Roadless Area Review

And Evaluation (RARE II) Is Misleading

And Should Be Corrected


GAO found that the mineral data in the
RARE II report contains several inaccuracies
that may be misleading:

   --Areas were rated as having little or no
   mineral potential when they should have
   been rated as having unknown potential.

   --Indications of mineral potential were in-
   consistently applied from one area to
   another.

   --Mineral data for certain confined geo-
   graphic areas was projected into larger
   areas.

GAO wants the Congress to be aware of the
inaccuracies and limitations of the RARE II
report when considering wilderness legisla-
tion and recommends that the Department
of Agriculture provide the Congress with
corrected data.
