DCHS 9-17 / Are the USFS and the BLM the same entity now?

I had a nice visit ( wonderful weather and a quiet day ) to DCHS yesterday and was talking to a regular about clothing optional issues. He told me that now the USFS and the BLM are are basically joined as the same entitiy at the top. I was wondering if any of you have heard of this or know if its true. The reason this came up is we met some folks who live near Lake Isabella and frequent Remington Hotsprings and said that the USFS have begun ticketing unclothed people, with the ranger saying that they are following the new BLM rules which cite that BLM lands no longer allow for clothing optional usage. As far as I knew the USFS and the BLM were completely seperate entities, but this story about Remington Hotsprings makes me wonder if they are somehow now connected. Also the people from the Lake Isabella area said that the USFS is considering closing Remington. I am going to call Brad Burns the main USFS enforcment officer for the areas around Deep Creek to see what he says about this idea of any connection between the USFS and the BLM.
