This process results in a Forest SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:37 Jun 24, 2015 Jkt 235001 Land Management Plan which describes the strategic direction for management of forest resources for the next ten to fifteen years on the Lincoln National Forest. The first phase of the process, the assessment phase, is beginning, and interested parties are invited to contribute in the development of the assessment (36 CFR 219.6). The trends and conditions identified in the assessment will help in identifying the current plan’s need for change and aid in the development of plan components. The Forest hosted a series of Community Conversations with stakeholders in March 2015. Additional public participation opportunities are forthcoming to discuss the assessment process. Information on these opportunities and all future public participation opportunities will be made available on the Lincoln Plan Revision Web site (see link below). DATES: A draft of the assessment report for the Lincoln National Forest is expected to be completed by early summer 2016 and will be posted on the following Web site, www.fs.usda.gov/ goto/lincolnforestplan. The Lincoln National Forest is currently inviting the public to engage in a collaborative process to identify relevant information and local knowledge to be considered for the assessment. Once the assessment is completed, the Forest will initiate procedures pursuant to the 2012 Planning Rule and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to prepare a forest plan revision. ADDRESSES: Written comments or questions concerning this notice should be addressed to: Lincoln National Forest, Attn: Sabrina Flores, 3463 Las Palomas, Alamogordo, NM 88310. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sabrina Flores, Forest Planner, 575– 434–7200. Individuals who use telecommunication devices for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–800–877–8339 between 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time, Monday through Friday. More information on the planning process can also be found on the Lincoln National Forest Web site at www.fs.usda.gov/ goto/lincolnforestplan. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Forest Management Act (NFMA) of 1976 requires that every National Forest System (NFS) unit develop a land management plan. On PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 April 9, 2012, the Forest Service finalized its land management planning rule (2012 Planning Rule), which provides broad programmatic direction to National Forests and National Grasslands for developing and implementing their land management plans. Forest plans describe the strategic direction for management of forest resources for fifteen years, and are adaptive and amendable as conditions change over time. Under the 2012 Planning Rule, the assessment of ecological, social, cultural, and economic trends and conditions is the first stage of the planning process. The second stage is a plan development and decision process guided, in part, by the National Environment Policy Act (NEPA) and includes the preparation of a draft environmental impact statement and revised Forest Plan for public review and comment, and the preparation of the final environmental impact statement and revised Forest Plan, subject to the objection process 36 CFR part 219 Subpart B prior to final plan approval. The third stage of the process is monitoring and feedback, which is ongoing over the life of the revised forest plans. With this notice, the agency invites other governments, non-governmental parties, and the public to contribute to the development of the assessment report. The assessment will rapidly evaluate existing information about relevant ecological, economic, cultural and social conditions, trends, and sustainability within the context of the broader landscape. It will help inform the planning process through the use of Best Available Scientific Information, while also taking into account other forms of knowledge, such as local information, national perspectives, and native knowledge. Lastly, the assessment provides information that will help to identify the need to change the existing 1986 plan. Public engagement as part of the assessment phase supports the development of relationships of key stakeholders throughout the plan revision process, and is an essential step to understanding current conditions, available data, and feedback needed to support a strategic, efficient planning process.
