Bureau of Land Management Districts
and National Forests Within the Range
of the Northern Spotted Owl; Western
Oregon and Washington, and
Northwestern California; Removal of
Survey and Manage Mitigation
Measure Standards and Guidelines
Bureau of Land Management,
USDI; Forest Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a
supplement to a final environmental
impact statement.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) and USDA Forest
Service (collectively the Agencies) will
prepare a supplemental environmental
impact statement (SEIS) to address the
order of Judge Marshal J. Pechman,
United States District Court, Western
District of Washington. (Northwest
Ecosystem Alliance v. Rey, August 1,
2005) Specifically, the court found that
the 2004 Final Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement to
Remove or Modify the Survey and
Manage Mitigation Measure Standards
and Guideline (2004 SEIS) was deficient
because the Agencies failed to: (1) ‘‘* *
analyze potential impacts to Survey and
Manage species if they are not added to
or are removed from the Forest Service’s
and BLM’s respective programs for
special status species;’’ (2) ‘‘* * *
provide a thorough analysis of their
assumption that the late-successional
reserves would adequately protect
species that the Survey and Manage
standard was introduced to protect,
particularly in light of their previous
positions in earlier environmental
impact statements;’’ and (3) ‘‘* * *
disclose and analyze flaws in their
methodology for calculating the acreage
in need of hazardous fuel treatments.
Part of the cost analysis was similarly
flawed because it relied on the acreage
in need of hazardous fuel treatments in
calculating the cost of the Survey and
Manage standard.’’ The SEIS will
provide additional information and
analysis necessary to fully address the
deficiencies noted by the court in the
2004 SEIS.
DATES: Comments concerning the
analysis should be received in writing
by January 11, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments
concerning this proposal to: Comments,
2006 SEIS for Survey and Manage, PO
Box 2965, Portland, Oregon 97208.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 2004
SEIS addressed National Forest System
lands and public lands administered by
the BLM within the range of the
northern spotted owl, generally in
western Oregon and Washington, and in
northwestern California.
Scoping is not required for
supplements to environmental impact
statements (40 CFR 1502.9(c)(4)).
However, at their discretion the
Agencies are inviting comments at this
time. Comments are sought to help the
Agencies identify specific information
needs and analytical methodologies
necessary to fully address the court
identified deficiencies. For comments to
be most useful, they should be as
specific as possible and submitted in
writing by the date identified above.
A notice will be prepared and
circulated to affected Federal, State, and
local agencies, affected tribes, and
individuals and organizations
previously expressing an interest in the
2004 SEIS. This notice, along with
background information, will also be
posted on the Internet: https://
www.reo.gov.s-m2006/index.htm. The
USDA Forest Service and BLM will be
joint lead agencies for this analysis. The
responsible officials for National Forest
System lands will be the Secretary of
Agriculture, Jamie L. Whitten Federal
Building, 12th & Jefferson Drive, SW.,
Washington, DC 20250. The responsible
official for public lands administered by
the BLM will be the Secretary of the
Interior, 1849 C Street, NW., Mailstop

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 841(d)
and 27 CFR 555.23, the Department
must publish and revise at least
annually in the Federal Register a list
of explosives determined to be within
the coverage of 18 U.S.C. 841 et seq. The
list covers not only explosives, but also
blasting agents and detonators, all of
which are defined as explosive
materials in 18 U.S.C. 841(c). This
notice publishes the 2005 List of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The list is
intended to include any and all
mixtures containing any of the materials
on the list. Materials constituting
blasting agents are marked by an
asterisk. While the list is
comprehensive, it is not all-inclusive.

not on the list does not mean that it is
not within the coverage of the law if it
otherwise meets the statutory
definitions in 18 U.S.C. 841. Explosive
materials are listed alphabetically by
their common names followed, where
applicable, by chemical names and
synonyms in brackets.
The Department has not added any
new terms to the list of explosives or
removed or revised any listing since its
last publication.
This list supersedes the List of
Explosive Materials dated December 20,
2004 (Docket No. ATF 14N, 69 FR
76010).
