Issue: Whether the Tenth Circuit erred in failing to determine that the Secretary of Agriculture’s designation of 58.5 million acres of land as Roadless was a de facto wilderness designation, which impermissibly intrudes into Congress’s exclusive authority under the Wilderness Act to permanently designate National Forest System lands as wilderness.
