5. To restrict OSV use on
approximately 2,015 acres, limiting
OHV travel to existing routes, to
improve consistency with national
guidelines for bald eagle management.
Within these restricted Areas, existing
route segments totaling approximately 7
miles would be designated for OSV use.
6. To enact new OSV prohibitions on
approximately 5,940 acres in a portion
of the Lakes Basin Management Area
and a portion of the Black Gulch/Clear
Creek Area.
7. To designate 21 locations where
OSVs would be allowed to cross the
Pacific Crest Trail.
These actions would begin
immediately upon the issuance of the
record of decision, which is expected in
December of 2017. The Forest Service
would produce an OSV use map
(OSVUM) that would look like the
existing motor vehicle use map (MVUM)
for the Plumas National Forest. Such a
map would allow OSV enthusiasts to
identify the routes and Areas where
OSV use would be allowed on the
Plumas National Forest.
Responsible Official
The Plumas National Forest
Supervisor will issue the decision.

Nature of Decision To Be Made
This decision will designate OSV use
on National Forest System roads, on
National Forest System trails, and in
Areas on National Forest System lands
on the Plumas National Forest where
snowfall is adequate for that use to
occur. It will also identify the snow
trails where grooming for OSV use
would occur. The decision would only
apply to the use of over-snow vehicles
as defined in the Forest Service’s Travel
Management Regulations (36 CFR
212.1). The Forest Supervisor will
consider all reasonable alternatives and
decide whether to continue current
management of OSV uses on the Plumas
National Forest, implement the
proposed action, or select an alternative
for the management of OSV uses.
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.
Written comments should be within the
scope of the proposed action, have a
direct relationship to the proposed
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
action, and must include supporting
reasons for the responsible official to
consider. Therefore, comments should
be provided prior to the close of the
comment period and should clearly
articulate the reviewer’s concerns and
contentions. The preferred format for
attachments to electronically submitted
comments would be as an MS Word
document. Attachments in portable
document format (pdf) are not preferred,
but are acceptable.
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.
The Plumas National Forest OverSnow Vehicle (OSV) Use Designation is
an activity implementing a land
management plan. It is not an activity
authorized under the Healthy Forests
Restoration Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108–
148). Therefore, this activity is subject
to pre-decisional administrative review
consistent with the Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2012 (Pub. L.
112–74) as implemented by subparts A
and B of 36 CFR part 218.

Dual Beam. Manufacturer: FEI
Company, Czech Republic. Intended
Use: See notice at 80 FR 44936–37, July
28, 2015. Comments: None received.
Decision: Approved. We know of no
instruments of equivalent scientific
value to the foreign instruments
described below, for such purposes as
this is intended to be used, that was
being manufactured in the United States
at the time of order. Reasons: The
instrument will be used to perform
imaging on cross sections of nanoscale,
biological, photonic and multifunctional
materials, made at precise geometric
locations at a very small scale.
Additionally, it is used to cross-section
through the exact center of an
impression, or along planes parallel to
a set of microstructural features.
Standard methods are incapable of
preparing cross sections with the
requisite spatial precision. With its
unique triple detection system located
inside the column and immersion mode,
the system is designed for simultaneous
detector acquisition for angular and
energy selective SE and BSE imaging.
Fast access to very precise, clear
information is guaranteed, not only topdown, but also on titled specimen or
cross-sections. Additional below-thelens detectors and a beam deceleration
mode unsure that all signals are
collected and no information is left
behind. The instrument extends
characterization with a versatile 110mm
goniometer stage with tilt capability up
to 90 degrees and optimal tripe incolumn detection. Unique features of
the instrument include the shortest time
to nanoscale information using best in
class Ga ion gun and Elstar Schlottky
FESEM high resolution, stability and
automation, sample management
tailored to individual application needs,
with the high flexibility 110mm and
high stability 150mm piezo stages, the
focused ion beam can mill any material
to a very fine scale, and can make
features with a high degree of accuracy

Solid-State Laser. Manufacturer:
Edgewave GmbH, Germany. Intended
Use: See notice at 80 FR 44936–37, July
28, 2015. Comments: None received.
Decision: Approved. We know of no
instruments of equivalent scientific
value to the foreign instruments
described below, for such purposes as
this is intended to be used, that was
being manufactured in the United States
at the time of order. Reasons: The
instrument will be used to enhance the
fundamental understanding of
propellant combustion so that safer and
higher performance solid propellants
can be designed and developed. The
instrument is to be used for the
measurement of flame radical species in
propellant flames in real-time, using
high-frame-rate (10–40kHz) imaging of
the flame radical OH, produced in the
reaction zone. The OH distribution is
used to determine the burning mode for
the propellant, and the laser system will
give the capability to obtain high-framerate images of other propellants. The
primary technique is high-frame-rate
planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF)
imaging. The UV laser from a Credo dye
laser, pumped by the Edgewave DPSS
laser, is formed into a focused sheet
using a combination of spherical and
cylindrical lenses. The frequency of the
UV beam is then tuned to a resonance
transition for the OH radical and the OH
radical is pumped from the ground state
to an excited electronic state by
absorbing a photon from the laser sheet.
Once in the excited state, the OH radical
can decay by emitting a photon
(fluorescence). The fluorescence light is
imaged using a high-frame-rate
intensified CMOS camera to produce an
image of the OH distribution in the laser
sheet, providing both time-and spaceresolved information on the laser
process. No domestic instruments have
the required power, rep rate, and pulse
length on the order of 10 nanoseconds.

integrating both two-photon polymerization (TPP) and multi-photon
ablation (MPA). The instrument integrates both a precise piezo stage
and a galvano scanner for a large-are and fast micro/nano-structuring.
Multi-photon polymerization and multi-photon ablation will be
investigated and applied for printing 3D micro/nano-structures of
arbitrary geometries, especially those on plasmonics, photonics and
microelectromechanical systems. The influence of degree of
polymerization on the micro 3D printing will be studied for further 3D
fabrication.
Docket Number: 15-032. Applicant: The Trustees of Princeton
University, Princeton, NJ 08540. Instrument: Helios Dual Beam.
Manufacturer: FEI Company, Czech Republic. Intended Use: See notice at
80 FR 44936-37, July 28, 2015. Comments: None received. Decision:
Approved. We know of no instruments of equivalent scientific value to
the foreign instruments described below, for such purposes as this is
intended to be used, that was being manufactured in the United States
at the time of order. Reasons: The instrument will be used to perform
imaging on cross sections of nanoscale, biological, photonic and
multifunctional materials, made at precise geometric locations at a
very small scale. Additionally, it is used to cross-section through the
exact center of an impression, or along planes parallel to a set of
microstructural features. Standard methods are incapable of preparing
cross sections with the requisite spatial precision. With its unique
triple detection system located inside the column and immersion mode,
the system is designed for simultaneous detector acquisition for
angular and energy selective SE and BSE imaging. Fast access to very
precise, clear information is guaranteed, not only top-down, but also
on titled specimen or cross-sections. Additional below-the-lens
detectors and a beam deceleration mode unsure that all signals are
collected and no information is left behind. The instrument extends
characterization with a versatile 110mm goniometer stage with tilt
capability up to 90 degrees and optimal tripe in-column detection.
Unique features of the instrument include the shortest time to
nanoscale information using best in class Ga ion gun and Elstar

Docket Number: 15-034. Applicant: Purdue University, West
Lafayette, IN 47907. Instrument: Diode-Pumped Solid-State Laser.
Manufacturer: Edgewave GmbH, Germany. Intended Use: See notice at 80 FR
44936-37, July 28, 2015. Comments: None received. Decision: Approved.
We know of no instruments of equivalent scientific value to the foreign
instruments described below, for such purposes as this is intended to
be used, that was being manufactured in the United States at the time
of order. Reasons: The instrument will be used to enhance the
fundamental understanding of propellant combustion so that safer and
higher performance solid propellants can be designed and developed. The
instrument is to be used for the measurement of flame radical species
in propellant flames in real-time, using high-frame-rate (10-40kHz)
imaging of the flame radical OH, produced in the reaction zone. The OH
distribution is used to determine the burning mode for the propellant,
and the laser system will give the capability to obtain high-frame-rate
images of other propellants. The primary technique is high-frame-rate
planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) imaging. The UV laser from a
Credo dye laser, pumped by the Edgewave DPSS laser, is formed into a
focused sheet using a combination of spherical and cylindrical lenses.
The frequency of the UV beam is then tuned to a resonance transition
for the OH radical and the OH radical is pumped from the ground state
to an excited electronic state by absorbing a photon from the laser
sheet. Once in the excited state, the OH radical can decay by emitting
a photon (fluorescence). The fluorescence light is imaged using a high-
frame-rate intensified CMOS camera to produce an image of the OH
distribution in the laser sheet, providing both time-and space-resolved
information on the laser process. No domestic instruments have the
required power, rep rate, and pulse length on the order of 10
nanoseconds.
