Send comments to: Potosi/ Fredericktown Ranger District, P.O. Box 188, Potosi, MO 63664. Electronic comments must be sent via the Internet to: comments-eastern-mark-twainpotosi@fs.fed.us. ADDRESSES: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tom McGuire, Project Leader/Integrated Resource Analyst, Potosi/Fredericktown Ranger District, P.O. Box 188, Potosi Missouri 63664, phone (573) 438–5427. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Further information about the proposal can be found in the original notice of intent originally published in the Federal Register, Vol. 69, No. 88, pp.25365– 25367, on May 6, 2004. The scope of the project has not changed; therefore, this revised notice of intent does not initiate a new scoping period for this proposal. The notice of intent is being revised because the publication of the Draft EIS has been delayed for more than six months. The original release date was expected to be September 2004; the new expected release date is December 2005, and the Final EIS is expected to be released in March 2006. Estimated Dates for Filing The draft EIS is expected to be filed with the Environmental Protection Agency and available for public review in December 2005. A 45-day comment period will follow publication of a Notice of Availability of the draft EIS in the Federal Register. Comments received on the draft EIS will be analyzed and considered in preparation of a final EIS, expected in March 2006. A Record of Decision (ROD) will also be issued at that time along with the publication of a Notice of Availability of the final EIS and ROD in the Federal Register. Reviewers Obligation To Comment The Forest Service believes it is important at this early stage to give reviewers notice of several court rulings related to public participation in the environmental review process. First, reviewers of the draft EIS must structure their participation in the environmental review of the proposal in such a way that it is meaningful and alerts an agency to the reviewer’s position and contentions. Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v. NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 513 (1978). Also, environmental objections that could be raised at the draft EIS stage but that are not raised until after completion of the final EIS may be waived or dismissed by the courts. City of Angoon v. Hodel, 803 F.2d 1016, VerDate jul<14>2003 16:00 Apr 27, 2005 Jkt 205001 1022 (9th Cir, 1986), and Wisconsin Heritages Inc. v. Harris, 490 F.Supp. 1334, 1338 (E.D. Wis., 1980). Because of these court rulings, it is very important that those interested in this proposed action participate by the close of the 45day comment period of the draft EIS in order that substantive comments and objections are available to the Forest Service at a time when it can meaningfully consider them and respond to them in the final EIS. To assist the Forest Service in identifying and considering issues and concerns on the proposed action, comments should be as specific as possible. Reviewers may wish to refer to the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for implementing the procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act at 40 CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points. Responsible Official The responsible official for this environmental impact statement is Ronnie Raum, Forest Supervisor, Mark Twain National Forest, 401 Fairgrounds Rd, Rolla, MO 65401 (573) 364–4621. Dated: April 19, 2005. Michael J. Weber, District Ranger, Potosi/Fredericktown Ranger District, P.O. Box 188, Potosi, Missouri 63664.
