Looks like the appealist rejected the attachment, you can get it here:
 
http://www.wildlaw.org/ISO-14001-2004-publicly-released-by-FS.pdf
 
 
Attached is a PDF of the final draft version of ISO 14001:2004.  This was voluntarily provided to the public by an office of the Forest Service.  Without even anyone asking, the Grand Mesa-Uncompahgre-Gunnison (GMUG) National Forest provided Rocky Smith of Colorado Wild (and many other members of the public) a copy of ISO 14001. It was in a book that was sent to people like Rocky who attended a meeting to discuss how the GMUG can best respond to public issues for the forest plan revision, already in progress

 

It is our legal opinion that the ISO 14001:2004 is a public document now, due the FS's use of it as the basis for public regulations dealing with the management of the entire 192,000,000 acres of public land known as the National Forests.  This voluntary release of what is otherwise copyrighted material has also put the ISO 14001 draft attached into the public domain FOR PUBLIC PURPOSES only.  Any complaint about copyright violations that ANSI may have are against the FS. 

 

You may not use or distribute this document if you have ANY commercial or profit motive whatsoever.  However, if your intention for the use of this document is solely for non-profit purposes to aid your right of public participation in the management of your National Forests, our legal opinion is that its possession, use and distribution for those purposes constitutes legal fair use.

 

This draft version of the ISO is almost entirely identical to the final version the FS will be using.  It IS identical in all its substantive provisions.  There are a few tiny differences that will not hinder use of this document for public, non-profit participation in the management of the National Forests:

1.     cover page: the draft has info about voting on the rules that the final obviously does not. 

2.     pg. ii: the copyright info is presented a little bit differently. 

3.     pg. iii: the draft has more info about voting so they are now one page off from each other . 

4.     On the draft, on page vii, the third paragraph under figure 1, it says “it is intended that the ems encourage organizations to consider implementation of the best available techniques�”  rather than “ems can encourage” on the final one (p. vi) 

5.     on page 23, the third publication cited had yet to be published when the draft was printed 

 

Many thanks to Rocky.
