Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 96 / Thursday, May 18, 2006 / Notices
Estimated Dates for Filing
The draft EIS is expected to be filed
with the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and to be available for
public review by November 2006. At
that time EPA will publish a Notice of
Availability of the draft EIS in the
Federal Register. The comment period
on the draft EIS will be 45 days from the
date the EPA publishes the Notice of
Availability in the Federal Register. It is
very important that those interested in
the management of this area participate
at that time.
The final EIS is scheduled to be
completed by April 2007. In the final
EIS, the Forest Service is required to
respond to comments and responses
received during the comment period
that pertain to the environmental
consequences discussed in the draft EIS
and applicable laws, regulations, and
policies considered in making a
decision regarding the proposal.
Comment Requested
This notice of intent continues the
scoping process which guides the
development of the environmental
impact statement. The Forest Service
will be seeking information, comments
and assistance from Federal, State and
local agencies and other individuals or
organization that may be interested in,
or affected by, the proposed action.
While public participation in this
analysis is welcome at any time,
comments received within 30 days of
the publication of this notice will be
especially useful in the preparation of
the EIS.

Early Notice of Importance of Public
Participation in Subsequent
Environmental Review
A draft environmental impact
statement will be prepared for comment.
The comment period on the draft
environmental impact statement will be
45 days from the date the
Environmental Protection Agency
publishes the notice of availability in
the Federal Register.
The Forest Service believes, 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

Jkt 208001
environmental review process. First,
reviewers of draft environmental impact
statements 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 be
raised at the draft environmental impact
statement stage but that are not raised
until after completion of the final
environmental impact statement 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 45day comment period so that substantive
comments and objections are made
available to the Forest Service at a time
when it can meaningfully consider them
and respond to them in the final
environmental impact statement.
To assist the Forest Service in
identifying and considering issues and
concerns on the proposed action,
comments on the draft environmental
impact statement should be as specific
as possible. It is also helpful if
comments refer to specific pages or
chapters of the draft statement.
Comments may also address the
adequacy of the draft environmental
impact statement or the merits of the
alternatives formulated and discussed in
the statement. 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.
Comments received, including the
names and addresses of those who
comment, will be considered part of the
public record on this proposal and will
be available for public inspection.
