maintained by USDA, AMS, Fruit and
Vegetable Programs.
AMS is revising the United States
Standards for Grades of Beet Greens
using the procedures that appear in Part
36, Title 7 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (7 CFR part 36). These
standards were last revised June 1, 1959.
Background
Prior to undertaking detailed work to
develop a proposed revision to the
standards, AMS published a notice on
February 19, 2008, in the Federal
Register (73 FR 9086) soliciting
comments on possible revisions to the
United States Standards for Grades of
Beet Greens, including an AMS
proposal to remove the ‘‘Unclassified’’
category from the standards. No
comments were received in response to
the notice. A second notice was
published on July 10, 2008, in the
Federal Register (73 FR 39646)
proposing to revise the standards to
remove the ‘‘Unclassified’’ category
from the standards. No comments were
received in response to the second
notice; accordingly, AMS is revising the
grade standards for beet greens to
include this revision.
The official grades of beet greens
covered by these standards are
determined by the procedures set forth
in the Regulations Governing
Inspection, Certification and Standards
of Fresh Fruits, Vegetables and Other
Products (7 CFR 51.1 to 51.62).
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 1621–1627.

Notice of intent to prepare an

AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Humboldt Toiyabe
National Forest will prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement to
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
disclose the impacts associated with the
following proposed actions:
• Restricting motor vehicles to
designated roads and trails, consistent
with the national travel management
rule.
• Changes to the forest transportation
system, including the recognition and
designation of certain user-created
routes for motor vehicle use.
• The Ranger District currently
manages about 1500 miles of motor
vehicle routes for public use. The
proposed action would recognize and
adopt an additional 300 additional
miles of existing informal (user-created)
roads and trails. Most of these have been
in existence for many years, but have
not been recognized as a part of the
forest transportation system.
DATES: Comments concerning the scope
of the analysis must be received within
30 days from the date this Notice of
Intent is published in the Federal
Register.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to:
Travel Management Team, Bridgeport
Ranger District, HCR1, Box 1000,
Bridgeport, CA 93517. E-mail comments
may be submitted to commentsintermtn-humboldt-toiyabebridgeport@fs.fed.us.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Over the past few decades, the
availability and capability of motorized
vehicles, particularly off-highway
vehicles (OHVs) and sport utility
vehicles (SUVs) has increased
tremendously. Nationally, the number
of OHV users has climbed sevenfold in
the past 30 years, from approximately 5
million in 1972 to 36 million in 2000.
Unmanaged OHV use has resulted in
unplanned roads and trails, erosion,
watershed and habitat degradation, and
impacts to cultural resource sites.
Compaction and erosion are the primary
effects of OHV use on soils. Riparian
areas and aquatic dependent species are
particularly vulnerable to OHV use.
Unmanaged recreation, including
impacts from OHVs, is one of ‘‘Four Key
Threats Facing the Nation’s Forests and
Grasslands.’’ (USDA Forest Service,
June 2004).
