Forest Service
Nebraska National Forest, Nebraska &
South Dakota Black-Tailed Prairie Dog
(Cynomys ludovicianus) Management
on the Nebraska National Forest and
Associated Units
Forest Service, USDA.
Revised notice of intent to
prepare an environmental impact
statement.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The USDA Forest Service
published a Notice of Intent in the
Federal Register of September 29, 2006,
in FR Volume 71, No. 189, on pages
57460–57461, concerning request for
comments on a Supplement to the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for the
2002 Nebraska National Forest Revised
Land and Resource Management Plan
for black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys
ludovicianus) management on the
Nebraska National Forest and associated
units. Instead of supplementing the
Final Enviromental Impact Statement
for the 2002 Nebraska National Forest
Revised Land and Resource
Management Plan, the Agency will
prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) for black-tailed prairie
dog (Cynomys ludovicianus)
management on the Nebraska National
Forest and associated units. This EIS
will tier to and not supplement the
Final EIS for the 2002 Revised Nebraska
National Forest Land and Resource
Management Plan.
The proposed action is to amend
current management direction in the
Nebraska National Forest Land and
Resource Management Plan to meet
various multiple use objectives by: (1)
Specifing the desired range of acres of
prairie dog colonies that would be
provided on the Nebraska National
Forest and associated units; and (2) to
be able to use toxicants if the acreage
exceeds the desired range and for
multiple use objectives. The proposed
action would amend Chapter 1, Section
H, Standard #1 in the Nebraska National
Forest Land and Resource Management
Plan, which allows for limited use of
rodenticdes in the interior of the Forest.
The proposed action would also
authorize the site-specific control of
prairie dogs forest-wide, including the
use of rodenticides, when management
thresholds are exceeded for geographic
areas. Future prairie dog control would
occur based on management thresholds
without further NEPA analysis.
