Similarly, the public comments and agency responses section of the SEIS will replace the public comments and agency responses section of the FEIS. Other areas of the analysis that are not identified for supplementation within the SEIS will remain unaltered from its presentation in the FEIS. In this manner the SEIS and FEIS will be companion documents. Responsible Official The Salmon-Challis National Forest Supervisor, Frank Guzman, is the responsible official. Nature of Decision To Be Made The decisions to be made in the revised ROD are similar to the decisions made in the original August 2009 ROD, although the scope of the analysis is narrower and fewer decisions will be made. Given the Purpose and Need, the Forest Supervisor will determine if analysis disclosed in the SEIS to comply with the Court Order will (1.) Change the designation of some routes and areas open for motor vehicle use under the 2009 Travel Plan, and (2.) Change the types of use and/or seasonal open period on these roads, trails and areas. the public. Written comments are invited and should be sent to William P.
