In the final EIS, the Forest Service is
required to respond to comments
received during the comment period for
the draft EIS. The Forest Service is the
lead agency and the responsible official
is the Crescent District Ranger,
Deschutes National Forest. The
responsible official will decide where,
and whether or not to designate a trail
system, staging areas, and close roads.
The responsible official will also decide
how to mitigate impacts of these actions
and will determine when and how
monitoring of effects will take place.
The Ranger District is trying
additional outreach with this project,
seeking input from a group of interested
citizens that are participating in an
effort to work more closely together. The
District and participants will try to
develop a stronger shared
understanding of what is needed to
successfully maintain and improve
wildlife habitat in the planning area. If
you are interested in joining or have
more questions about the process,
please notify the District, or Phil Chang,
Program Administrator, Central Oregon
Intergovernmental Council, 2363 SW

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of
its ongoing efforts to safeguard animal
health, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) initiated
implementation of a National Animal
Identification System (NAIS) in 2004.
The NAIS is a cooperative State-Federal-
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
industry program administered by
USDA’s Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS). The
purpose of the NAIS is to provide a
streamlined information system that
will help producers and animal health
officials respond quickly and effectively
to animal disease events in the United
States.
The ultimate long-term goal of the
NAIS is to provide State and Federal
officials with the capability to identify
all animals and premises that have had
direct contact with a disease of concern
within 48 hours after discovery. Meeting
that goal requires a comprehensive
animal-disease traceability
infrastructure. An NAIS User Guide and
a Business Plan, both available on our
Web site at https://
animalid.aphis.usda.gov/nais/
animal_id/index.shtml, provide detailed
information about our plans for
implementing the system.
Despite concerted efforts, APHIS has
not been able to fully implement the
NAIS. Many of the same issues that
producers originally had with the
system, such as the cost and impact on
small farmers, privacy and
confidentiality, and liability, continue
to cause concern.
In order to provide individuals and
organizations an opportunity to discuss
their concerns regarding the NAIS and
offer potential solutions, we plan to
hold several public meetings and to
solicit comments via our Web site. Our
goal is to gather feedback and input
from a wide range of stakeholders to
assist us in making an informed
decision regarding both the future of the
NAIS and the objectives and direction
for animal identification and
traceability. We would particularly
welcome feedback on the following
topics:
• Cost. What are your concerns about
the cost of the NAIS? What steps would
you suggest APHIS use to address cost?
• Impact on small farmers. What are
your concerns about the effect of the
NAIS on small farmers? What
approaches would you suggest APHIS
take to address the potential impact on
small farmers?
• Privacy and confidentiality. What
are your concerns regarding how the
NAIS will affect your operation’s
privacy and/or the confidentiality of
your operation? What steps or tactics
would you suggest APHIS use to
address privacy and confidentiality
issues?
• Liability. What are your concerns
about your operation’s liability under
the NAIS? What would you suggest
APHIS consider to address liability
concerns?
