On March 3, 1999 we transmitted Management Recommendations (MRs) for five bryophytes (BLM Instruction Memorandum OR-99-039). We have noted two errors in these documents and are hereby correcting the errors.

Table C-3 of the Northwest Forest Plan Record of Decision/Standards and Guidelines (ROD) does not limit the range of management of Ptilidium californicum. The MR cover page for this species has been changed to reflect this. Although the area of concern is in California, as stated in the MR, management of the species under the ROD pertains throughout the range of this species.

In addition, page 3 of the MR for the Brown Flatwort (Radula brunnea), describes the range and known sites for Rhizomnium nudum and not Radula brunnea. Page 3 has been replaced with the correct species information.

The revised MRs for these two species are enclosed for your use and should replace those signed on March 3, 1999. The printed copies of the five bryophyte MRs which will be sent for general field use will have the corrected pages.

If you have questions or comments concerning the enclosed MRs or guidance, please address any questions to Cheryl McCaffrey (BLM), Sarah Madsen (FS R-6), or Paula Crumpton (FS R-5). They can be reached at:
