Yes - I had not read that document until you mentioned it. I
recommend everyone read it.
It does contain this statement: The Forest Service will authorize
some access for administrative purposes (e.g., implementing the
Abandoned Mine Lands program), research, disease surveillance, and
inventory and monitoring. Specifically identified “show caves” may
remain open for educational purposes. All entries will follow the
recommended decontamination protocols.
It does not clarify just what constitutes "research". If the BLM
does something similar to this, will the activities of the FSCSP come
under the heading of "research"?

Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover."
attributed to Mark Twain, but no record exists of his having
written this.
