AGENCY: Government Accountability
Office (GAO).
ACTION:
Notice on letters of nomination.
SUMMARY: The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Act)
established the HIT Policy Committee to
make recommendations on the
implementation of a nationwide health
information technology infrastructure to
the National Coordinator for Health
Information Technology, whose office
was also established by the Act. The
HIT Policy Committee consists of at
least 20 members, 13 of which are to be
appointed by the Comptroller General
within 45 days of enactment of the Act.

Off Highway Vehicle Project
Forest Service, USDA.
Notice of intent to prepare an
environmental impact statement.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The USDA, Forest Service,
will prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) on a proposed action to
designate an Off Highway Vehicle
(OHV) trail system on the Crescent
Ranger District of the Deschutes
National Forest. In addition, the
proposal would close roads, rehabilitate
unneeded trails, and develop staging
areas within the 77,000-acre project
area. The proposed trail system would
be located on National Forest lands
between Crescent Lake Junction and the
boundary of the Winema National
Forest, west of Crescent, Oregon. The
legal location is Townships 23–26 south
and Ranges 6–9 east, Willamette
Meridian. The analysis area contains
three distinct areas with a focused trail
system that will eventually be
interconnected: Two Rivers, Walker
Mountain, and Crescent Lake Junction.
The alternatives will include the
proposed action, no action, and
additional alternatives that respond to
issues generated through the scoping
process. The agency will give notice of
the full environmental analysis and
decision making process so interested
and affected people may participate and
contribute to the final decision.
DATES: Comments concerning the scope
of the analysis must be received by 30
days following the date that this notice
appears in the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to
Joan Kittrell, Team Leader, Crescent
Ranger District, P.O. Box 208, Crescent,
Oregon 97733, or submit to commentspacificnorthwest-deschutescrescent@fs.fed.us. Please put ‘‘Three
Trails OHV Scoping’’ in the subject line
of your e-mail. You will have another
opportunity for comment when
alternatives have been developed and
the Environmental Impact Statement is
made available.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose and Need. The need for this
site-specific proposal is basically a
result of a much larger process all
National Forests are implementing; the
Travel Management Rule. In 2005, the
Forest Service codified a national rule
that prohibits motorized travel off of
designated routes. The Deschutes
National Forest is currently in the
process of developing an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) to display the
environmental effects of implementing
the Travel Management Rule, which is
expected to occur by 2010. Currently,
there are no designated OHV trails on
the Crescent Ranger District. The Three
Trails area is used extensively by off
highway enthusiasts, as demonstrated
by the many user-created trails. They
also utilize other existing roads (closed
and open) which may or may not be
maintained for high clearance vehicles.
Recognizing the effect to the OHV
community once the Travel
Management Rule is implemented, the
Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests
were proactive in identifying
opportunities for a trail system in
sustainable locations. Through a
working group of motorized and nonmotorized participants, three areas were
identified that had potential community
support for a designated trail system.
The Three Trails OHV Project is one of
them.
Proposed Action. Basically, the
proposal would provide approximately
110–130 miles of interlinking trails in
three main areas with associated staging
areas. The trail system would vary in
skill level and density to match the
terrain, design of the staging areas, and
to provide an opportunity for beginner
through advanced riding experiences.
Where redundant access exists, or usercreated trails are in undesired locations
(such as within riparian resources or
desired wildlife habitat), closure and
rehabilitation/restoration would be
performed on 50 miles. To balance the
increase open road/trail density
associated with a designated trail
system, approximately 65 miles of roads
would be closed. A general season of
use would be May 1 through October 31.
Comment. Public comments about
this proposal are requested in order to
