for the original notice is being extended
by 14 days.
If the Forest Service amends land
management plans, we hereby give
notice that substantive requirements of
the 2012 Planning Rule (36 CFR part
219) that are likely to be directly related,
and therefore applicable, to the
amendments are in sections 219.8(a)
and (b) (ecological and social and
economic sustainability), 219.9
(diversity of plant and animal
communities), and 219.10(a) (integrated
resource management for ecosystem
services and multiple use).
The public is encouraged to help
identify any issues, management
questions, or concerns that should be
addressed in plan amendment(s) or
policy or administrative action. The
Forest Service will work collaboratively
with interested parties to identify the
management direction that is best suited
to local, regional, and national needs
and concerns. The Forest Service will
use an interdisciplinary approach as it
considers the variety of resource issues
and concerns.
Dated: July 26, 2018.

Associate Deputy Chief, National Forest

complete response includes a BE–11 A
form for the U.S. parent’s domestic
