Section
203(c) of the Agricultural Marketing Act
of 1946, as amended (7 U.S.C. 1622),
directs and authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture ‘‘to develop and improve
standards of quality, condition,
quantity, grade, and packaging, and
recommend and demonstrate such
standards in order to encourage
uniformity and consistency in
commercial practices.’’ USDA is
committed to carrying out this authority
in a manner that facilitates the
marketing of agricultural products. One
way of achieving this objective is
through the development and
maintenance of voluntary standards by
AMS. AMS is seeking comments on a
proposed voluntary U.S. Standard for
Livestock and Meat Marketing Claims,
Naturally Raised Claim for Livestock
and the Meat and Meat Products
Derived from such Livestock, in
accordance with procedures that are
contained in Title 7 Part 36 of the Code
of Federal Regulations.
On November 28, 2007, AMS
published a notice (72 FR 67266) with
request for comments for the proposed
voluntary standard for a naturally raised
marketing claim. The comment period
closed on January 28, 2008. However, a
number of interested producers,
processors, and marketers have
requested additional time to evaluate
the full impact of the requirements of
the proposed standard in order to
provide more meaningful and
substantive comments. Therefore, AMS
has determined that there is sufficient
justification to reopen and extend the
comment period.

ACTION:
SUMMARY: The San Juan National Forest
published a document in the Federal
Register of January 17, 2008, giving
notice of intent to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement. The
document contained incorrect location
information in the Summary.

Correction
In the Federal Register of January 17,
2008, in FR Doc. E8–749, on page 3234,
in the third column, correct the
‘‘Summary’’ caption to read:
SUMMARY: The San Juan National Forest
proposes to continue to authorize
livestock grazing on all or portions of
the Hermosa Landscape in a manner
that moves resource conditions toward
desired on-the-ground conditions and is
consistent with Forest Plan standards
and guidelines. The analysis area
encompasses approximately 122,000
acres on three active cattle allotments
(Elbert Creek, Dutch Creek, and Upper
Hermosa) and four vacant cattle
allotments (Cascade, Forebay, Hope
Creek, and South Fork). The area is
located north of Durango, Colorado, in
San Juan and La Plata Counties, in
Townships 37–40 North, Ranges 8–11
West, N.M.P.M. and is within the
Columbine Ranger District, San Juan
National Forest, Colorado.
The proposed action is designed to
increase the flexibility of livestock
grazing systems through adaptive
management, which will allow quicker
and more effective response to problems
areas when they are revealed. Problems
will be revealed through the use of short
and long term monitoring. Application
of adaptive management practices
should result in healthier soil,
watershed, and vegetative conditions.
