Administration participated as cooperating agencies in the preparation 
of the EIS. Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction by law or special 
expertise with respect to resources potentially affected by the 
proposal and participate in the NEPA analysis. Although the cooperating 
agencies provided input to the conclusions and recommendations 
presented in the final EIS, the agencies will present their own 
conclusions and recommendations in their respective Records of Decision
