for public comment is a direct result of
those requests.
The Draft Strategy provides a
framework to focus existing and new
Forest Service actions for open space
conservation. Accordingly, comments
on the Draft Strategy should focus
broadly on the strategic objectives and
actions described in the document.
Input regarding the following three
questions is most useful:
1. Are there major actions or concepts
for conserving open space missing in
the Draft Strategy;
2. Has the Draft Strategy outlined
strategic priorities that will best leverage
Forest Service expertise, resources, and
partnerships to conserve open space;
and
3. Are the proposed priority actions
feasible and complementary to other
conservation efforts?
By receiving input from people with
diverse interests and perspectives, the
Agency hopes to attain an array of
viewpoints and ideas regarding the
Open Space Conservation Strategy.
Feedback from a range of interested
individuals will assist the Agency in
developing a well-informed, focused,
and effective strategy to address the loss
of open space threat.
Dated: June 14, 2007.
James Hubbard,
Deputy Chief, State and Private Forestry.

not being prepared for constructing a
single floodwater retarding dam in the
Lower Big Blue Watershed, Saline
County, Nebraska. The Environmental
Assessment was developed in
coordination with the sponsoring local
organization (Lower Big Blue Natural
Resources District) for a proposed
floodwater retarding dam in the Lower
Big Blue Watershed to reduce flood
damages downstream of the site,
including the city of Wilber, Nebraska.
Upon consideration of the affected
environment, alternatives,
environmental consequences, and
comments and coordination with
concerned public and agencies, the
State Conservationist for NRCS,
Nebraska found that based on the
significance and context and intensity
that the proposed action is not a major
federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment.
Thus, a Finding of No Significant
Impact (FONSI) was made.
SUMMARY: It has been determined by the
NRCS State Conservationist for Virginia
that changes must be made in the NRCS
State Technical Guide specifically in
practice standard: #382, Fence. This
practice will be used to plan and install
conservation practices on cropland,
pastureland, woodland, and wildlife
land.

The
sponsoring local organization concurs
with this determination and supports
the proposed project to construct a
single floodwater retarding dam to
current NRCS High Hazard Class
requirements and for a design life
expediency of 100 years. The following
action is proposed to construct a
floodwater retarding dam across an
unnamed tributary approximately onefourth mile upstream from the area of
concern and Wilber city limit.
Information regarding this finding may
be obtained at the contact information

on implementation of the proposed
funding action will be taken until 30
