G. Lead and Cooperating Agencies
The lead agency for this proposal is
the USDA Forest Service. We expect the
USDI Bureau of Land Management will
be a cooperating agency in the
designation of lands available for oil
and gas leasing.
H. Scoping Process
When the GWNF Forest Plan revision
process initially started, public
workshops were held in March of 2007
where participants were asked to
describe what they thought was working
well on the Forest and what needed to
be changed. In July of 2008 another
round of public workshops was held
where participants were asked to work
on District maps and identify areas of
the Forest they would like to see
managed in a different way. Public
workshops were held on various topics
(vegetation management, access,
roadless areas and wilderness) to have
discussions on how we should change
the Forest Plan to address concerns. In
January and February of 2009 additional
workshops were held where preliminary
opinions were presented on how the
Forest could respond to the information
that had been received up to that point.
The need for change, issues, proposed
actions and alternatives identified in
this Notice of Intent reflect those
preliminary discussions and opinions as
a starting point for proceeding with this
revision.
It is important that reviewers provide
their comments on what is presented in
this notice and on the Web site at such
times and in such a way that they are
useful to the Agency’s preparation of the
revised plan and the EIS. Comments on
the need for change, proposed actions,
issues and preliminary alternatives will
be most valuable if received by May 7,
2010 and should clearly articulate the
reviewers’ concerns. The submission of
timely and specific comments can affect
a reviewer’s ability to participate in any
subsequent administrative or judicial
review. At this time, we anticipate using
a pre decisional objection process for
administrative review.

Pale Cyst Nematode; Update of
Quarantined Areas
AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice of changes to
quarantined area.
SUMMARY: We are advising the public
that we have made changes to the area
in the State of Idaho that is quarantined
to prevent the spread of pale cyst
nematode. The description of the
quarantined area was updated several
times between October 2009 and
February 2010. As a result of these
changes, 5,710 acres have been removed
from the quarantined area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The pale cyst nematode (PCN,
Globodera pallida) is a major pest of
potato crops in cool-temperature areas.
Other solanaceous hosts include
tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, tomatillos,
and some weeds. The PCN is thought to
have originated in Peru and is now
widely distributed in many potatogrowing regions of the world. PCN
infestations may be expressed as
patches of poor growth. Affected potato
plants may exhibit yellowing, wilting,
or death of foliage. Even with only
minor symptoms on the foliage, potato
tuber size can be affected. Unmanaged
infestations can cause potato yield loss
ranging from 20 to 70 percent. The
spread of this pest in the United States
could result in a loss of domestic or

foreign markets for U.S. potatoes and
other commodities.
In 7 CFR part 301, the PCN quarantine
regulations (§§ 301.86 through 301.86-9,
referred to below as the regulations) set
out procedures for determining the areas
quarantined for PCN and impose
restrictions on the interstate movement
of regulated articles from quarantined
areas.
Section 301.86-3 of the regulations
sets out the procedures for determining
the areas quarantined for PCN.
Paragraph (a) of § 301.86-3 states that, in
accordance with the criteria listed in
§ 301.86-3(c), the Administrator will
designate as a quarantined area each
field that has been found to be infested
with PCN, each field that has been
found to be associated with an infested
field, and any area that the
Administrator considers necessary to
quarantine because of its inseparability
for quarantine enforcement purposes
from infested or associated fields.
Paragraph (d) provides for the
removal of fields from quarantine. An
infested field will be removed from
quarantine when a protocol approved by
the Administrator as sufficient to
support the removal of infested fields
from quarantine has been completed
and the field has been found to be free
of PCN. An associated field will be
removed from quarantine when the field
has been found to be free of PCN
according to a protocol approved by the
Administrator as sufficient to support
removal of associated fields from
quarantine. Any area other than infested
or associated fields that has been
quarantined by the Administrator
because of its inseparability for
quarantine enforcement purposes from
infested or associated fields will be
removed from quarantine when the
relevant infested or associated fields are
removed from quarantine.
Paragraph (a) of § 301.86-3 further
provides that the Administrator will
publish a description of the quarantined
area on the Plant Protection and
Quarantine (PPQ) Web site, (https://
www.aphis.usda.gov/plant_health/
plant_pest_info/potato/pcn.shtml). The
description of the quarantined area will
include the date the description was last
updated and a description of the
changes that have been made to the
quarantined area. The description of the
quarantined area may also be obtained
by request from any local office of PPQ;
local offices are listed in telephone
directories. Finally, paragraph (a)
establishes that, after a change is made
to the quarantined area, we will publish
a notice in the Federal Register
informing the public that the change has

occurred and describing the change to
the quarantined area.
Therefore, we are publishing this
notice to inform the public of changes
to the PCN quarantined area in the State
of Idaho. The changes are as follows:
∑ On October 23, 2009, we updated
the quarantined area to remove 3.32
acres from Bingham County and 623.30
acres from Bonneville County.
∑ On November 23, 2009, we updated
the quarantined area to remove 465.13
acres from Bingham County and 402.97
acres from Bonneville County.
∑ On December 18, 2009, we updated
the quarantined area to remove 1,313.92
acres from Bingham County and 648.36
acres from Bonneville County.
∑ On January 8, 2010, we updated the
quarantined area to remove 188.79 acres
from Bingham County and 1,373.15
acres from Bonneville County.
∑ On January 15, 2010, we updated
the quarantined area to remove 621.52
acres from Bonneville County.
∑ On February 15, 2010, we updated
the quarantined area to remove 70 acres
from Bonneville County.
This acreage consisted of associated
fields that were found to be free of PCN
according to a survey protocol approved
by the Administrator in accordance with
§ 301.86-3 as sufficient to support
removal of associated fields from
quarantine.
The current map of the quarantined
area can be viewed on the PPQ Web site

Section 301.86-3 of the regulations sets out the procedures for
determining the areas quarantined for PCN. Paragraph (a) of Sec.
301.86-3 states that, in accordance with the criteria listed in Sec.
301.86-3(c), the Administrator will designate as a quarantined area
each field that has been found to be infested with PCN, each field that
has been found to be associated with an infested field, and any area
that the Administrator considers necessary to quarantine because of its
inseparability for quarantine enforcement purposes from infested or
associated fields.
Paragraph (d) provides for the removal of fields from quarantine.
An infested field will be removed from quarantine when a protocol
approved by the Administrator as sufficient to support the removal of
infested fields from quarantine has been completed and the field has
been found to be free of PCN. An associated field will be removed from
quarantine when the field has been found to be free of PCN according to
a protocol approved by the Administrator as sufficient to support
removal of associated fields from quarantine. Any area other than
infested or associated fields that has been quarantined by the
Administrator because of its inseparability for quarantine enforcement
purposes from infested or associated fields will be removed from
quarantine when the relevant infested or associated fields are removed
from quarantine.
Paragraph (a) of Sec. 301.86-3 further provides that the
Administrator will publish a description of the quarantined area on the

Therefore, we are publishing this notice to inform the public of
changes to the PCN quarantined area in the State of Idaho. The changes
are as follows:
On October 23, 2009, we updated the quarantined area to
remove 3.32 acres from Bingham County and 623.30 acres from Bonneville
County.
On November 23, 2009, we updated the quarantined area to
remove 465.13 acres from Bingham County and 402.97 acres from
