L. 108–447) AGENCY: Rogue River—Siskiyou National Forest, USDA Forest Service. ACTION: Notice of New Fee Site. SUMMARY: The Wild Rivers Ranger District of the Rogue River—Siskiyou National Forest proposes to begin charging a $5 day use fee per vehicle at the Illinois River Scenic Recreation area. The District proposes to charge a $10 fee for the overnight use of Store Gulch Campground. Implementation of these news fees is proposed to begin in 2008. Use of the developed recreation facilities on the Illinois River of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest have shown that people appreciate and enjoy the availability of the recreation experience. Funds generated through recreation fees will be used for the continued operation and maintenance of the Illinois River Scenic Recreation area along with other improvements including law enforcement and sanitation. The fees would be charged from May 1 to September 30. ADDRESSES: Forest Supervisor, Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, 333 W. 8th St./ P.O. Box 520, Medford, Oregon 97501–0209. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jerry Sirski, 541–899–3815. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act (Title VII, Pub. L. 108–447) directed the Secretary of Agriculture to publish a six month advance notice in the Federal Register whenever new recreation fee areas are established. These facilities are in close proximity to the Wild, Scenic, and Recreational segments of the Illinois River. This area offers significant recreational viewing opportunities, fishing experiences, and is rich in historical and cultural importance. A market analysis indicates that the $5/per day single vehicle fee is both reasonable and acceptable for this sort of unique recreation experience.

Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement. AGENCY: sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES ACTION: SUMMARY: The USDA Forest Service will prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) for reducing fuels, improving forest stand conditions, salvaging present and future bark beetle mortality, and creating fuel breaks around the Diamond Lake and Lemolo Lake Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) areas, and along evacuation routes that lead to and from these areas. Fuel loadings have increased due to fire exclusion and an ongoing bark beetle outbreak in both lodgepole and mixed conifer stands throughout the area. This EIS will be prepared under the authority of the Healthy Forest Restoration Act (HFRA). The project proposes variable density commercial thinning on about 3,146 acres of lodgepole pine, leaving between 20–50 trees per acre (TPA), interspersed with 10% of the area with no treatment; commercial thinning from below on about 2,244 acres of mixed conifer stands, leaving 50–200 TPA; overstory removal on 59 acres of lodgepole pine stands, leaving about 20 TPA; non-commercial treatment of fuels using pre-commercial thinning, mastication, whip felling, chipping, piling and burning on about 2,013 acres; treating all activity-created fuels by underburning, crushing, machine piling, masticating, handpile burning, and/or yarding tops attached; using 25 miles of existing unclassified roads to access thinning/treatment areas, then decommissioning about 5 miles that are not used for trails or as the old highway; building 15 miles of new temporary spur roads for access, then decommissioning them after use; road reconstruction and maintenance throughout the planning area; and use of existing rock pits; all acreages and miles are approximate and are refined during sale layout. The project includes amending the 1990 Umpqua National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP). The planning area is VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:38 Jan 18, 2008 Jkt 214001 located approximately 75 miles east of Roseburg, Oregon. The project is expected to be implemented starting in Fiscal Year 2009. The agency gives notice of the full environmental analysis and decision-making process that will occur on the proposal so that interested and affected people may become aware of how they can participate in the process and contribute to the final decision. DATES: Comments concerning the scope of the analysis must be received by February 5, 2008. The draft environmental impact statement is expected to be available in April or May of 2008 and the final environmental impact statement is expected to be available in June or July of 2008. ADDRESSES: Send written comments and suggestions concerning this proposal to Clifford J. Dils, Forest Supervisor, Umpqua National Forest, 2900 NW. Stewart Parkway, Roseburg, OR 97470; you may also submit comments electronically to commentspacificnorthwest-umpqua@fs.fed.us. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about the proposal, contact Barbara Fontaine, D-Bug Project Manager, phone 541–957–3422, e-mail bfontaine@fs.fed.us, Umpqua National Forest, 2900 NW.

Stewart Parkway, Roseburg, OR 97470. The proposal is also listed on the Forest’s Web site at https://www.fs.fed.us/r6/ umpqua/projects/projectdocs/d-bug-ts/ index.shtml. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The planning area being analyzed in the DBug Hazard Reduction Timber Sale Project encompasses almost 40,000 acres, and is bounded by Lemolo Lake to the North, Crater Lake National Park to the South, the Oregon Cascades Recreation Area and the Mt. Thielsen Wilderness to the East, and the Mt. Bailey Inventoried Roadless Area to the West. The planning area includes all or portions of T26S, R5E, Sections 10, 11, 13–15, 23–26, 34–36; T26S, R6E, Sections 16–21, 28–33; T27S, R5E, Sections 1–5, 25, 36; T27S, R6E, Sections 5–8, 17, 20, 29–32; T28S, R5.5E, Sections 4, 9, 16, 18–21, 28–30, 33–35; T28S, R6E, Sections 1, 12, 13, 22–26, 35; and T29S, R5.5E, Sections 2– 4. Purpose and Need for Action The purpose of the D-Bug Hazard Reduction Timber Sale Project is to lessen the severity and reduce the PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 3689 impacts of both an on-going mountain pine beetle outbreak and existing and anticipated fuel accumulations by the timely commercial harvest and noncommercial treatments of high risk stands in strategic locations. The need for action is focused on four elements: Element 1: The need for modifying pine beetle habitat conditions in stands containing lodgepole pine to reduce potential infestation by mountain pine beetles. Element 2: The need to reduce existing and predicted fuel loads in areas identified as high fire hazard within the Diamond and Lemolo Lake wildland-urban interface areas (WUIs) and the evacuation routes from these at risk communities. Element 3: The need for removing existing dead and eminently dying pine in areas already infested where human use is high in order to protect the recreating public from hazard trees. Element 4: The need for increasing stand vigor in densely-stocked mixed conifer stands containing older, large ponderosa pine, western white pine, Shasta red fir, and Pacific silver fir in order to improve stand resiliency during future wildfires. Proposed Action The proposed action was developed to address the elements of the purpose and need. It would implement recommendations of the Douglas County Community Wildfire Protection Plans for Lemolo and Diamond Lakes to treat hazardous fuels in the WUIs and install fuelbreaks along evacuation routes such as Highways 138, 230, and roads leading away from both the WUIs. Additional fuelbreaks are also included in the proposed action to help slow down a wildfire between the Mt. Thielsen Wilderness and the Lemolo Lake area. In stands containing pine, timely thinning in advance of beetle outbreaks would increase the vigor of the remaining trees as well as the likelihood that they would survive an outbreak when it arrives, thus lessening the fuel accumulation that naturally follows behind pine beetle outbreaks. In stands already infested by mountain pine beetles and located near high use recreation areas, the dead trees would be salvaged to lower safety hazards and fuel accumulations. Finally, reducing stand density will approximate more natural stand conditions potentially allowing older fire-tolerant trees more of a chance to survive future fires. Specifically the Proposed Action includes the following activities: • Variable density commercial thinning of 3,146 acres in lodgepole pine stands leaving 20–50 trees per acre E:\FR\FM\22JAN1.SGM 22JAN1
