This project would amend current management direction in the Nebraska National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) for black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) management on the Nebraska National Forest and associated units (NNF). The proposed LRMP amendment is 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) allowing the use of rodenticides if the acreage exceeds the desired range and for multiple use objectives. A Notice of Intent (NOI) to supplement the 2002 LRMP environmental impact statement (EIS) for this project was published September 29, 2006 (71 FR 57460-57462). On February 28, 2007 (72 FR 8962) a revised NOI was published indicating that the Agency would not be preparing a supplement to the 2002 LRMP EIS but would be preparing a separate environmental impact statement for black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) management on the Nebraska National Forest and associated units. This EIS would tier to 2002 LRMP. More than six months have elapsed since the projected FEIS date in that original NOI. Also, the responsible official has changed to Jane Darnell, Forest Supervisor (no change in title). This revised NOI is being issued to update the project schedule and responsible official.
