which might require a forest-plan
amendment or administrative change.
Specific monitoring questions to inform
plan components will be developed
during scoping and refined during
analysis.

Throughout the revision process the
Rio Grande National Forest is the Lead
Agency. The following entities have
been formally identified as Cooperating
Agencies: Bureau of Land Management,
State of Colorado Department of Natural
Resources, the counties of Alamosa,
Conejos, Saguache, Hinsdale, Rio
Grande, and Mineral, and the Navajo

Responsible Official
Dan Dallas, Forest Supervisor, Rio
Grande National Forest, 1803 W.
Highway 160, Monte Vista, CO 81144,
719–852–5941.
Nature of Decision To Be Made
As the forest plan is revised, the
responsible official will use the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
process to develop alternatives to the
proposed action and decide which
alternative best promotes the ecological
integrity and sustainability of the Rio
Grande National Forest’s ecosystems,
watersheds, and diverse plant and
animal communities. In addition, the
responsible official will decide if the
plan provides sufficient management
guidance to contribute to social and
economic sustainability, and to provide
people and communities with
ecosystem services and multiple uses
including a range of social, economic,
and ecological benefits for the present
and into the future. The responsible
official will also determine whether to
make new recommendations for
Wilderness and other designated areas.
The revised forest plan will provide
strategic direction and a framework for
decision making during the life of the
plan, and will not repeat information
already required or described in existing
laws, regulations, or guidance. It will
not make site-specific project decisions
and will not dictate day-to-day
administrative activities needed to carry
on the Forest Service’s internal
operations. The authorization of projectlevel activities will be based on the
direction contained in the revised forest
plan, but will occur through subsequent
project specific decision making,
including NEPA analysis. The revised
forest plan will provide broad, strategic
guidance designed to supplement, not
replace, overarching laws and
regulations. Though strategic guidance
will be provided, no decisions will be

made regarding the management of
individual roads or trails, such as those
that might be associated with a travel
management plan under 36 CFR part
212. Some issues, although important,
are beyond the authority or control of a
forest plan and will not be addressed
during this revision process. For
example, the revision process cannot be
used to modify inventoried roadless
area boundaries established by the
Colorado Roadless Rule.
Documents Available for Review
The 1996 Forest Plan as amended,
Monitoring Reports; Assessments;
March 2016 Need for Change; July 2016
Initial Proposal; Proposed Action and
supporting documents; and information
from previous public meetings are
posted on the Rio Grande National
Forest’s Web site at www.fs.usda.gov/
riogrande. The material available on this
site may be revised or updated at any
time as part of the planning process.
Scoping Process
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1600–1614; 36 CFR
part 219 [77 FR 21162–21276].
This notice of intent initiates the
scoping process, which guides the
development of the EIS. Written
comments received in response to this
notice will be analyzed to further
develop the proposed revised forest
plan and identify potential significant
issues. Significant issues will, in turn,
form the basis for developing
alternatives to the proposed action.
It is important that reviewers provide
their comments such that they are
useful to the agency’s preparation of the
EIS. Comments on the proposed action
will be most valuable if received within
45 days of the publication of the Legal
Notice in the Valley Courier newspaper
and should clearly articulate the
reviewer’s opinions and concerns.
Comments received in response to this
solicitation, including names and
addresses of those who comment, will
become part of the public record.
Comments submitted anonymously will
be accepted and considered; however,
anonymous comments will not provide
the Agency with the ability to provide
the respondent with subsequent
environmental documents. See the
section below concerning the objection
process and the requirements for filing
an objection.
The Forest Service continues to
receive comments related to the draft
evaluation of areas for wilderness
character presented to the public in July
2016. The areas analyzed will form the
basis for recommendations for future
Wilderness designation.
Decision Will Be Subject to Objection
The decision to approve the revised
forest plan for the Rio Grande National
Forest will be subject to the objection
process identified in 36 CFR 219
Subpart B (219.50 to 219.62). According
to 36 CFR 219.53(a), those who may file
an objection are individuals and entities
who have submitted substantive formal
comments related to plan revision
during the opportunities provided for
public comment during the planning
process.
