Fresno County Resource Advisory Committee, 40112-40113 [07-3529]

Download as PDF 40112 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 140 / Monday, July 23, 2007 / Notices Bridger-Teton National Forest for more than 50 years to conduct their winter elk management programs. This use of NFS land has been authorized in the past by the issuance of permits. The WGFC has requested long term authorization to continue this established use. Purpose and Need for Action The purpose and need for action is to respond to the WGFC request for long term Special Use Permits. The Special Use Permits would authorize the proposed intermittent occupancy and use of specified lands for activities associated with their winter elk management program. Proposed Action The proposed action is to authorize the continued use of NFS lands by the WGFC for corrals, sheds, chutes, and feeding grounds associated with their ongoing winter elk management program. The specific areas addressed in this action include the following sites: (1) Fish Creek. (2) Pritchard Creek (Dog Creek). (3) Muddy Canyon. (4) Fall Creek. (5) Alkali Creek. (6) Upper Green River. (7) Patrol Cabin. Possible Alternatives Three preliminary alternatives have been identified: (1) The no action alternative—no Special Use Authorization would be issued, (2) The proposed action—issuance of authorization to the WGFC, and (3) authorization of the proposed use with modifications. Lead and Cooperating Agencies The Forest Service is the lead agency. WGFC is a cooperating agency. Responsible Official The responsible forest officer for this proposed action is Carole ‘‘Kniffy’’ Hamilton, Forest Supervisor, BridgerTeton National Forest, 340 N. Cache, P.O. Box 1888, Jackson, WY 83001. Nature of Decision To Be Made sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES The decision to be made is whether or not to authorize, in whole or in part, use of specific NFS lands by the WGFC for corrals, sheds, chutes, and feeding grounds associated with their ongoing elk feeding and management program. Scoping Process The first formal opportunity to respond to the proposed action listed above is during the public scoping process (40 CFR 1501.7) which begins VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:09 Jul 20, 2007 Jkt 211001 with the issuance of this Notice of Intent. Scoping letters will be sent to the forest mailing list of known interested parties, and public meetings will be scheduled in Jackson and Pinedale, WY. The time and place for those meetings will be published in the local papers and posted on the forest Web site. The scoping process will assist the forest in identifying specific issues to be addressed related to the purpose and need and the scope of the decision. Mail comments to the addresses given above for further information. Ongoing information related to the proposed action and related analysis will be posted on the Bridger-Teton National Forest Web site https://www.fs.fed.us/r4/ btnf. Preliminary Issues Preliminary issues associated with the proposed action include: (1) Concentrated use of the specified areas by elk could affect local habitat due to heavy browsing of willows and other shrubs. (2) Concentrated use of the specified areas during warmer spring days could impact soils due to trampling on the area. (3) Importing of hay would increase the possibility of introducing noxious weeds. Permits or Licenses Required If the decision is to authorize the WGFC to occupy and use National Forest System lands, it will be done through the issuance of a Special Use Authorization. (36 CFR part 251 subpart B) Comment Requested This notice of intent initiates the scoping process which guides the development of the environmental impact statement. Early Notice of Importance of Public Participation in Subsequent Environmental Review: A draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) will be prepared for comment. The comment period on the DEIS will be for a period of 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 a DEIS 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. PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 (1978). Also, environmental objections that could be raised at the DEIS 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 DEIS 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 DEIS 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.
