Forest Service
Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests;
Idaho; Notice To Proceed With Forest
Plan Revision
Forest Service, Northern
Region, Nez Perce-Clearwater National
Forests, USDA.
ACTION: Notice of initiating the
development of a proposed forest plan
revision for the Nez Perce-Clearwater
National Forests.
AGENCY:
The Department of
Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service,
Northern Region, Nez Perce-Clearwater
National Forests have initiated revision
of their forest plan pursuant to the 2012
Forest Planning Rule. This process will
ultimately result in a Forest Land
Management Plan which describes the
strategic direction for management of
forest resources for the next ten to
fifteen years on these National Forests
(NFs). The first two phases of the
process—preparing an assessment and
developing a proposed action for plan
revision—have begun. The 2012
Planning Rule requires the Forest
Service to notify interested parties of
development of a proposed plan or plan
revision (36 CFR 219.16(a)(1). This
notice meets that requirement. The
public may comment on the draft
assessment and draft proposed action
(draft plan components) through the
plan revision Web site at
www.fs.usda.gov/main/

planning.
DATES: The refined assessment will be
available for public input in October
2013. A proposed action, which will be
in the format of a plan (including plan
components), is expected to be available
for public comment in January 2014. A
Notice of Intent will be published in the
Federal Register pursuant to NEPA at
that time. The Draft Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) is anticipated to
be available for public review and
comment in early 2015 with the Final
EIS being available late 2015.
ADDRESSES: Information, including the
draft assessment and draft forest plan
components (proposed action), is
available on the Nez Perce-Clearwater
NFs’ Web site at: https://
www.fs.usda.gov/main/
nezperceclearwater/landmanagement/
planning. The Web site has a link to a
Collaborative Mapping Web site for site
based input. Comments can also be sent
via email to fpr_npclw@fs.fed.us.
Comments are welcome at anytime but
comments received prior to August 1,
2013 will be considered in the refined
assessment and proposed action.

between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern
Time, Monday through Friday.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Forest Management Act
(NFMA) of 1976 requires that every
National Forest System unit develop a
land management plan. On April 9,
2012, the Forest Service finalized its
land management planning rule (2012
Planning Rule) which implements the
NFMA. Forest Plans describe the
strategic direction for management of
forest resources for ten to fifteen years
and are adaptive and amendable as
conditions change over time.
Under the 2012 Planning Rule, the
assessment of ecological, social, and
economic trends and conditions is the
first phase of the planning process. Only
informal public input is required at this
stage (36 CFR 219.16(c)(6)).
The second phase is development of
a proposed plan which ultimately
includes analysis and a Record of
Decision in compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA).
The Forest Plan Revision process
started on the Nez Perce and Clearwater
National Forests in April 2012. An
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
interdisciplinary team was assigned and
began working on development of the
Forest Plan Assessment.
The Forest worked with University of
Idaho staff to develop a strategy on how
to engage the public in the Forest Plan
Revision process through a collaborative
framework and open, transparent
process. Five public orientation
meetings, cohosted by County
Commissioners and facilitated by
University of Idaho staff, were held in
Grangeville, Orofino, Moscow, and
Lewiston, ID and Lolo, MT to:
1. Inform the interested public on our
intent to initiate Forest Plan
Revision efforts
2. Solicit input on how the Forests
could allow for an open,
transparent and inclusive public
participation process
3. Identify interested members of the
public
Interested members of the public
participated in a two-day Forest
Planning Summit held Oct. 13–14, 2012
in Orofino, ID. The Forest worked with
University of Idaho staff to design and
facilitate the Summit. The Summit was
also cohosted with County
Commissioners representing the five
counties in which the Nez PerceClearwater NFs lay. During the Summit,
participants were asked how they
wanted to participate in Forest Plan
Revision, to what extent they could
participate and how they would work
together during collaborative
participation. A core group of 60–70
interested parties/members of the public
identified a process for collaborating
with the Nez Perce-Clearwater NFs.
The Summit initiated a process where
interested parties/members of the public
met monthly in a collaborative learning
environment to provide input to the
Forest Supervisor and Forest
Interdisciplinary Team. The locations of
meetings rotated between Grangeville
and Orofino, ID with two satellite
locations in Missoula, MT and Boise, ID
participating via video teleconference.
The first meeting occurred in November
2012 in Grangeville, ID with seven
subsequent meetings. The Forests will
not hold meetings during the summer of
2013 while they review and compile
input and perform preliminary analysis.
Public collaboration meetings will
continue in October 2013.
E-collaboration tools were developed
so all interested members of the public
could provide input into Forest Plan
Revision efforts, not just those
individuals who physically participated
in collaborative meetings. Public input,
whether received through collaborative
meetings, e-collaboration or other forms,
