So that letter is from the DOI (department of interior) which runs the BLM (bureau of land management) and NPS (National park service) they due allow use for E-bikes in most parks and BLM lands.
The USFS (United States Forest service) is ran by the USDA (United States department of agriculture) which does not allow the use of E-bikes on any closed road or trail or any area closed to motorized use. I'm my opinion the USFS is behind the power curve on this and it is very political. As stated earlier it's between OHV, horse people, hiking so on and so forth.
When hunting an area you can down load Avenza (a free map app and then the the travel plan for that ranger district.) On X does a pretty good job with which routes are open and closed as well
