• Practices to minimize potential
spread of non-native invasive species
and treatment of high priority
populations when found. Practices to
minimize effects to threatened,
endangered or sensitive wildlife or plant
species which may include adjustments
to project timing, pre-work surveys in
potential habitat, avoiding activities in
certain locations, maintaining key parts
of the habitat (snags, cavities, rock
outcrops are examples), and avoidance
of live advanced regeneration in the
understory.
• Safety items such as alerting the
public of activities, signing roads,
ensuring equipment meets operational
standards and oversight by Forest
Service staff.
Since the decision will be
implemented using an adaptive
management process, the use of
monitoring results to advise Forest
Service managers is critical to success of
the project. Basic steps used in the
adaptive management process are:
• An interdisciplinary team (IDT) will
be used to complete all required surveys
for a particular project area, complete
required layout and marking to the
stand, decide the appropriate design
features to be applied, and determine
how best to implement required
monitoring. A project ‘‘checklist’’
documenting compliance with
requirements of the EIS will be
completed. Members of the IDT will
sign the checklist documenting
compliance.
• Projects will be implemented
through timbersale contracts or other
appropriate mechanisms. Forest Service
employees (e.g. sale adminstrators) will
oversee provision of the contract to
ensure compliance.
• During and following
implementation of vegetation treatment
project, monitoring required by the EIS
will be completed. Findings will be
summarized in an annual monitoring
report that will be posted on the Forest
Web site and utilized to inform Forest
Service Managers.
• Forest Service Managers
incorporate ‘‘key findings’’ into design
of future vegetation treatments within
bounds of the EIS decision.

Responsible Official
Scott Armentrout, Forest Supervisor,
Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and
Gunnison National Forests is the
Responsible Official.
Nature of Decision To Be Made
After considering the proposed action
and any alternatives, the environmental
analysis, and public comment, the
Forest Supervisor will decide whether
to conduct treatments to remove dead
and dying trees, treat fuels, reforest
trees, reduce and slow the progress of
the beetle epidemic, and promote
regeneration of aspen stands. If an
action alternative is selected, the Forest
Supervisor will decide where treatments
may occur, and what actions are
appropriate and may be taken. Finally,
the decision will include the scope of
monitoring that should occur. No Forest
Plan amendment is proposed.
Scoping Process
This notice of intent initiates the
scoping process, which guides the
development of the environmental
impact statement. 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.
Objection Process
Only those individuals and entities
should submit timely and specific
written comments (36 CFR 218.2)
during official comment periods may
file objections during the objection
period, which will follow publication of
the final environmental impact
statement and draft record of decision.
Objections filed according to the
conditions in 36 CFR 218 Subparts A
and B will be reviewed by a Reviewing
Officer, who will submit a written
response to objections. The final record
of decision will be issued only after all
the concerns and instructions identified
by the reviewing officer have been
addressed.

AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice announces the Rural BusinessCooperative Service’s intention to
request an extension for a currently
approved information collection in
support of the Rural Economic
Development Loan and Grant Program.
DATES: Comments on this notice must be
received by September 30, 2013, to be
assured of consideration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Rural Economic Development
Loan and Grant Program.
OMB Number: 0570–0035.
Expiration Date of Approval:
December 31, 2013.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: Under this program, loans
and grants are provided to electric and
telecommunications utilities that have
borrowed funds from the Agency. The
purpose of the program is to encourage
these electric and telecommunications
utilities to promote rural economic
development and job creation projects
such as business start-up costs, business
expansion, community development,
and business incubator projects. The
utilities must use program loan funds to
make a pass-through loan to an ultimate
recipient such as a business. The utility
is responsible for fully repaying its loan
to the government even if the ultimate
recipient does not repay its loan. The
intermediary must use program grant
funds, along with its required
contribution, to create a revolving loan
fund that the utility will operate and
administer. Loans to the ultimate
recipient are made from the revolving
loan fund for a variety of community
development projects. The information
requested is necessary and vital in order
for the Agency to be able to make
prudent and financial analysis
decisions.
