The CDNST is a concern level 1 route, with a scenic integrity objective of high or very high, depending on the trail segment. 4. Recreation Resource Management. The Agency is removing the following statement from pages 51–52 in the 1985 CDNST Comprehensive Plan: Each agency will manage the CDNST in accordance with the recreation management objectives and prescriptions set forth in their respective land and resource management plans for the specific management area through which the trail passes. The Agency is adding the following statements under ‘‘Recreation Resource Management Along the CDNST,’’ Chapter IV(B)(5), in the 2009 CDNST Comprehensive Plan: cprice-sewell on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES Manage the CDNST to provide high-quality scenic, primitive hiking and pack and saddle stock opportunities. Backpacking, nature walking, day hiking, horseback riding, nature photography, mountain climbing, crosscountry skiing, and snowshoeing are compatible with the nature and purposes of the CDNST. Bicycle use may be allowed on the CDNST (16 U.S.C. 1246(c)) if the use is consistent with the applicable land and resource management plan and will not substantially interfere with the nature and purposes of the CDNST. Use the Recreation Opportunity Spectrum (ROS) in delineating and integrating recreation opportunities in managing the CDNST. Where possible, locate the CDNST in primitive or semi-primitive non-motorized ROS classes, provided that the CDNST may have to traverse intermittently through more developed ROS classes to provide for continuous travel between the MontanaCanada and New-Mexico-Mexico borders. Locate a CDNST segment on a road only where it is primitive and offers recreational opportunities comparable to those provided by a trail with a Designed Use of Pack and Saddle Stock, provided that the CDNST may have to be located on or across motorized routes because of the inability to locate the trail elsewhere. 5. Motor Vehicle Use (16 U.S.C. 1244(a)(5) and 1246(c); 36 CFR Part 212, Subpart B).

Trail and Facility Standards. The Agency is removing the following statement from page 61 of the 1985 CDNST Comprehensive Plan: In keeping with the National Scenic Trails concept, the trail should be regarded as a simple facility for the hiker and horseman, and where already existing and appropriate, for trail bikers and recreational four-wheel drive use.

Due to the delay in publication of the NOFA in the Federal Register, this award date does not allow sufficient time for scoring and processing applications. Therefore the anticipated award date is May 3, 2010. In addition, the delay was not reflected in dates for grant period eligibility for which the NOFA incorrectly stated ‘‘Projects cannot begin earlier than March 1, 2010 and cannot end later than February 28, 2013. Applications that request funds for a time period beginning prior to March 1, 2010 and/or ending after February 28, 2013 will be considered ineligible, as will applications that exceed a maximum 36 months in length. Applicants may propose a start date falling any time during March 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010.’’ Therefore, the corrected grant period times are as follows. Projects cannot begin earlier than June 1, 2010 and cannot end later than November 30, 2013. Applications that request funds for a time period beginning prior to June 1, 2010 and/or ending after November 30, 2013 will be considered ineligible, as will applications that exceed a maximum of 36 months in length.
