Yosemite,
Clearcut logging, mining and oil and gas are absolutely viable under Multiple Use. I have worked with all of these types of projects for 35 years. They have a rigorous environmental review process. The National Environmental Policy Act is being streamlined with regard to timber sales, so that we can start harvesting at levels much closer to the Annual Allowable Cut under sustained use.
There is no such thing as Big Bear NF. You might be refering to the Angeles NF. Near urban areas, with lower timber potential like those around Los Angeles, more emphasis is given to outdoor recreation than in other more productive and remote timber producing areas.
Clearcutting is mostly used west of crest of the Cascade Mountains and in Alaska.
