Do public comments actually change federal decisions?

Yes, when they are substantive. Agencies are legally required to read and respond to substantive comments before finalizing a rule, and specific personal comments about real places and real uses carry far more weight than identical form letters. Courts have overturned rules when agencies ignored substantive comments.

Environmental review Forest Public Process Administrative Review

The Forest Service is proposing to revise the rules that govern how the public can file objections to projects on national forests before those decisions are finalized. It's consolidating and streamlining the administrative review process, partly to align with recent changes to NEPA regulations. This affects anyone who uses the objection process to challenge logging, grazing, mining, or other projects on national forest lands.

In the agency’s own words

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service is proposing to amend its Project-Level Predecisional Administrative Review Process regulations. These regulations establish the process by which the public may file objections seeking administrative review for projects and activities implementing land management plans on national forests. The Forest Service is amending these regulations to consolidate and streamline processes, increase efficiency, and better align with the Agency's statutory obligations and recent rescissions and revisions to National Environmental Policy Act regulations.
