Here is what was put into the Federal Register early this month:
https://www.federalregister.gov/art...m_medium=email&utm_source=federalregister.gov
Here is a link to the Interim Directive the Forest Service wants to make permanent. Oddly enough, this directive will expire before the end of the comment period. (Despite not being a .gov domain, these links are from the Forest Service's official site.)
http://www.fs.fed.us/specialuses/documents/wo_id_2709 11-2013-1.pdf
Finally, Here is an older document which covers the basics of shooting in National Forests:
http://www.fs.fed.us/specialuses/documents/InterimFilmingQAimprovedjune10.pdf
Quoting:
In general still photography is not regulated nor is a permit required for it on the National Forest. However, if the still photography in wilderness takes place in locations where members of the public are generally not allowed, or where additional administrative costs are likely, or if the still photography involves models, sets, or props that are not a part of the sites natural or cultural resources or administrative facilities, then a permit is required. (Refer to FSH 2709.11, sec. 45.5, for definitions of models, sets, and props).
Nothing I see in this proposal changes that. While it's certainly worth checking with the Forest Service itself or an attorney, my reading of this latest regulation is that it "woke up the internet" to what the rules are currently rather than changing them.
