treatment unit and then
decommissioned once activities are
completed. In response to the final
Travel Management Rule,
approximately 36 miles of road is
proposed for designation as open to
motorized use by highway legal
vehicles, and 39 miles of trails proposed
for non-motorized use.
Possible Alternatives
The Forest Service will consider a
range of alternatives. One of these will
be the ‘‘no action’’ alternative in which
none of the proposed activities will be
implemented. Additional alternatives
may examine varying levels and
locations for the proposed activities to
achieve the purpose and need, as well
as to respond to the issues and other
resource values.
Responsible Official
The Responsible official for this
project is Paul Bradford, Forest
Supervisor, Kootenai National Forest,
1101 Highway 2 West, Libby, Montana
59923.
Nature of Decision To Be Made
The decision to be made includes
whether to implement the proposed
actions, alternatives to the proposed
actions, and any design criteria or
mitigation measures.
Scoping Process
A scoping package will be sent to all
parties that have expressed an interest
in management activities in the area, as
well as those that reside within or
adjacent to the project area. A legal
notice will be published in the
newspaper of record to notify other
interested parties of the opportunity for
comments. Public meetings will be held
if interest is expressed by the public.
Preliminary Issues
Additional opportunities to meet
grizzly bear habitat standards may be
identified to meet total managed road
densities. The proposed action includes
the potential creation of a regeneration
opening of approximately 118 acres.

Comment Requested
This notice of intent initiates the
scoping process that guides the
development of the draft environmental
impact statement. Comments should be
received 30 days following publication
of this notice to be considered in
preparation of the DEIS.
Early Notice of Importance of Public
Participation in Subsequent
Environmental Review
A draft environmental impact
statement will be prepared for comment.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:25 Jun 15, 2006
Jkt 208001
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
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.
