measures and monitoring requirements
identified during the course of the
analysis.
Scoping Process
The Forest Service will mail
information to interested and/or affected
parties. Public involvement will be
ongoing throughout the analysis
process, and public input will be
specifically requested at certain times.
There are currently no scoping meetings
planned.
Preliminary Issues
The following are some potential
issues identified through internal Forest
Service scoping based on experience
with similar projects. We are asking you
to help us further refine the existing
issues as wells as identify other issues
or concerns relevant to the Proposed
Action. This list is not considered allinclusive; rather, it should be viewed as
a starting point:
• Improper livestock grazing has the
potential to affect the following
resources as identified by internal
scoping:
• Water quality in streams throughout
the District;
• Habitat for Lahontan Cutthroat
trout, a federally-listed species found in
the Humboldt River Basin;
• Heritage resources within the
Project Area;
• Vegetation, including riparian plant
communities and aspen stands, which
may result in a decline in the long-term
productivity of the land base;
• Wildlife habitat for several species,
including mule deer, pygmy rabbits,
spotted frogs, northern goshawk, and
sage grouse.
Comment Requested
This NOI initiates the scoping process
which will guide the development of
the EIS. The public is invited to submit
comments stating your concerns and
issues that are relevant to the proposed
project. These comments will be used to
help establish the scope of study and
analysis for the EIS.

BILLING CODE 3410–11–P
A draft EIS will be prepared for
comment. The comment period on the
draft EIS will be 45 days from the date
that the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) publishes the notice of
availability (NOA) in the Federal
Register.
The Forest Service believes that, at
this early stage, it is important to give
reviewers notice of several court rulings
related to public participation in the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
environmental review process. First,
reviewers of draft EISs must structure
their participation in the environmental
review of the proposal so 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, 553 (1978)].
Also, environmental objections that
could have been 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,
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 45
day comment period so that substantive
comments and objections are made
available to the Forest Service at a time
when it can consider them and respond
to them in a meaningful manner within
the final EIS.
To assist the Forest Service in
identifying and considering issues and
concerns regarding the Proposed Action,
comments on the draft EIS should be as
specific as possible. It is also helpful if
the comments refer to specific pages,
sections, or chapters of the draft
document. Comments may also address
the adequacy of the draft EIS or the
merits of the alternatives formulated
and discussed in the document.
Reviewers may wish to refer to the
Council on Environmental Quality
(CEQ) Regulations for implementing the
procedural provisions of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) at 40
CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points.
Comments received, including the
names and addresses of those who
comment, will be considered part of the
public record of this proposal and will
be available for public inspection.
