Lolo and Kootenai National Forests' Sanders County Resource Advisory Committee, 37061-37062 [2011-15832]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 122 / Friday, June 24, 2011 / Notices (2) modify some Management Area boundaries, changing 287 acres from MA 10 (C) to MA 10 (B); (3) designate the route known as Banshee Hill as a site specific exception within Management Area 10 (C). Possible Alternatives The EIS will consider the following alternatives: (1) A ‘‘No Action/No Change’’ Alternative, that would not designate additional routes or reallocate MA 10 (C) areas to MA 10 (B); (2) The proposed action; (3) Alternatives to the proposed action that are within the scope of the project, meet the purpose and need, are responsive to the comments received during the scoping period and are approved by the Forest Supervisor for consideration. Responsible Official The responsible official will be the Forest Supervisor of the Siuslaw National Forest. Nature of Decision To Be Made The decision to be made falls within the broad framework of the existing Forest Plan. The Forest Supervisor of the Siuslaw National Forest will decide whether to implement the action as proposed, whether to take no action at this time, or whether to implement any alternatives that are proposed. Proposed actions are believed to constitute nonsignificant amendments of the Forest Plan and are narrow in scope, dealing only with off highway vehicle riding areas (MAs 10 (C) and 10 (B)) at the Oregon Dunes NRA, an area comprising approximately 2% of the entire Siuslaw National Forest. Preliminary Issues (1) Designation of OHV routes in MA 10 (C) may cause adverse effects to natural resources, nearby residents and/ or other recreational users of the 10 (C) area. (2) Minor modifications of MA 10 (C) to MA 10 (B) and associated changes in OHV use of the area may cause adverse effects to natural resources, nearby residents and/or other recreation users of motorized use areas. srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Scoping Process This notice of intent initiates the scoping process, which guides the development of the environmental impact statement. Public comments about this proposal are requested in order to assist in identifying issues, determine how to best manage the resources, and to focus the analysis. Comments received to this notice, VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:06 Jun 23, 2011 Jkt 223001 including names and addresses of those who comment, will be considered part of the public record on this proposed action and will be available for public inspection. Comments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered; however, those who submit anonymous comments will not have standing to appeal the subsequent decision under 36 CFR part 215. Additionally, pursuant to 7 CFR 1.27(d), any person may request the agency to withhold a submission from the public record by showing how the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) permits such confidentiality. Persons requesting such confidentiality should be aware that, under FOIA, confidentiality may be granted in only very limited circumstances, such as to protect trade secrets. The Forest Service will inform the requester of the agency’s decision regarding the request for confidentiality, and where the request is denied the agency will return the submission and notify the requester that the comments may be resubmitted with or without name and address within a specified number of days. The Forest Service believes, at this early stage, it is important to give reviewers notice of several court rulings related to public participation in the environmental review process. First, reviewers of a draft EIS must structure their participation in the environmental review of the proposal so that it is meaningful and alerts an agency to the reviewer’s position and contentions [Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v. NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 (1978)]. Also, environmental objections that could be raised at the draft EIS stage but that are not raised until after completion of the final EIS may be waived or dismissed by the courts [City of Angoon v. Harris, 490 F. Supp. 1334, 1338 (E.D. Wis. 1980)]. Because of these court rulings, it is very important that those interested in this proposed action participate by the close of the 45-day comment period so that comments and objections are made available to the Forest Service at a time when it can meaningfully consider them and respond to them in the final EIS. To assist the Forest Service in identifying and considering issues and concerns on the proposed action, comments on the draft EIS should be as specific as possible. It is also helpful if comments refer to specific pages or chapters of the draft statement. Comments may also address the adequacy of the draft EIS of the merits of the alternatives formulated and discussed in the statement. Reviewers may wish to refer to the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 37061 implementing the procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act at 40 CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points. A draft EIS will be filed with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and available for public review by December 2011. The EPA will publish a Notice of Availability (NOA) of the draft EIS in the Federal Register. The comment period on the draft EIS will be 45 days from the date the EPA publishes the notice of availability in the Federal Register. The final EIS is scheduled to be available Summer 2012.

Under this stewardship role, the Secretary was given certain regulatory authorities to ensure the most beneficial uses of these resources.

Observer service providers must comply with the following requirements: Submit applications for approval as an observer service provider; formally request observer training by the Northeast Fisheries Observer Program (NEFOP); submit observer deployment reports and biological samples; give notification of whether a vessel must carry an observer within 24 hours of the vessel owner’s notification of a prospective trip; maintain an updated contact list of all observers that includes the observer identification number; observer’s name, mailing address, e-mail address, phone numbers, homeports or fisheries/trip types assigned, and whether or not the observer is ‘‘in service.’’ The regulations E:\FR\FM\24JNN1.SGM 24JNN1
