Download as PDF 71398 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 231 / Friday, November 30, 2012 / Notices the amendment is expected to be not significant. Possible Alternatives Under the No Action Alternative the TNF LRMP and BLM RMPs would not be amended to incorporate new or change existing regulatory mechanisms. There are no other alternatives to the proposed action identified at this time. Lead and Cooperating Agencies The FS is the lead agency and the BLM is a cooperating agency. The Forest has also invited the Walker River Paiute and Yerington Paiute Tribes and the Bridgeport Indian Colony, Nevada BLM, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Nevada Department of Wildlife, and Mono, Lyon, Douglas, Alpine, Esmeralda, and Mineral Counties to be cooperating Agencies. Federal, State, and local agencies, along with other stakeholders that may be interested or affected by the FS’s or BLM’s decision on this proposal are invited to participate in the scoping process and, if eligible, may request or be requested by the FS to participate as a cooperating agency. wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Responsible Official For the FS the responsible official is the Forest Supervisor, HumboldtToiyabe National Forest 1200 Franklin Way, Spark Nevada 89431. For the Department of Interior, BLM the responsible officials are: The District Manager, Carson City District, 5665 Morgan Mill Road, Carson City, NV 8970, and the District Manager, Battle Mountain District, 50 Bastian Road, Battle Mountain, NV 89820. Nature of Decision To Be Made Based on the analysis conducted and represented in the EIS and project record the FS responsible official will decide whether to amend the TNF LRMP as described in the proposed action, as in one of the alternatives to the proposed action, or by combining elements of the proposed action and alternatives to create a decision that best meets the purpose of conserving, enhancing and/or restoring sagebrush and associated habitats to provide for the long-term viability of the BS DPS and the need to improve the FS regulatory mechanisms. The FS decision does not include a decision about the BLM RMPs. The BLM will make its own decisions based on the EIS. Scoping Process Scoping begins upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register and ends January 30, 2013. The scoping document is posted on the Humboldt- VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:17 Nov 29, 2012 Jkt 229001 Toiyabe National Forest public Web site at https://www.fs.usda.gov/projects/htnf/ landmanagement/projects. During the scoping period the Forest will solicit comments from interested parties and the public. It is important that reviewers provide their comments at such times and in such manner that they are useful to the agency’s preparation of the environmental impact statement. Therefore, comments should be provided prior to the close of the comment period and should clearly articulate the reviewer’s concerns and contentions. Comments received in response to this solicitation, including names and addresses of those who comment, will be part of the public record for this proposed action. Comments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered; however, anonymous comments will not provide the FS with the ability to provide the respondent with subsequent environmental documents. This proposal has been listed on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest Schedule of Proposed Actions since November 2012. Early Notice of Importance of Public Participation in Subsequent Environmental Review As required under 36 CFR 219.17(b)(2), this proposed plan amendment is subject to the predecisional administrative review process (‘‘objection procedure’’) set forth in 36 CFR 219 Subpart B. Only those individuals and entities who have submitted substantive formal comments related to the proposed plan amendment during opportunities for public comment may file an objection. Objections must be based on previously submitted substantive formal comments attributed to the objector, unless the objection concerns an issue that arises after the opportunities for formal comment (36 CFR 219.53). Comments are considered substantive when they are within the scope of the proposal, are specific to the proposal, have a direct relationship to the proposal, and include supporting reasons for the responsible official to consider (36 CFR 219.62). Formal comments received from an authorized representative(s) of an entity are considered those of the entity only. A member of an individual must submit substantive formal comments independently to be eligible to file an objection in an individual capacity (36 CFR 219.53(b)). Substantive formal comments must be written comments submitted to, or oral comments recorded by, the reponsible official or his designee during an opportunity for public participation and PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 attributed to the individual or entity providing them (36 CFR 219.62). For this proposal, the opportunities for public participation are the 45 day scoping comment period announced by this Notice of Intent and the 90 day comment period that begins when the Environmental Protection Agency publishes the Notice of Availability of the draft EIS in the Federal Register.

The proposed NNMI initiative focuses on strengthening and ensuring the longterm competitiveness and job-creating power of U.S. manufacturing. The constituent IMIs will bring together industry, universities and community colleges, federal agencies, and U.S. states to accelerate innovation by investing in industrially-relevant manufacturing technologies with broad applications to bridge the gap between basic research and product development, provide shared assets to help companies—particularly small manufacturers—access cutting-edge capabilities and equipment, and create an unparalleled environment to educate and train students and workers in advanced manufacturing skills. The President’s proposed FY 2013 budget includes $1 billion for this proposed initiative. Each IMI will serve as a regional hub of manufacturing excellence, providing the innovation infrastructure to support regional manufacturing and ensuring that our manufacturing sector is a key pillar in an economy that is built to last. Each IMI also will have a well-defined technology focus to address industrially relevant manufacturing challenges on a large scale and to provide the capabilities and facilities required to reduce the cost and risk of commercializing new technologies.
