Forest Service (Forest Service), is
issuing proposed new directives on
leasing Forest Service administrative
sites.
DATES: Comments must be received in
writing by July 6, 2020.

timely received comments, including
names and addresses, will be placed in

Relay Service at 800–877–8339 between
8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Eastern
Standard Time, Monday through Friday.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
proposed directive would set forth
direction for leasing Forest Service
administrative sites. Proposed direction
would implement section 8623 of the
Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018,
Public Law 115–334, and leasing
provisions of the Forest Service Facility
Realignment and Enhancement Act of
2005. The leasing provisions of these
Acts provide Forest Service the
authority to lease Forest Service
administrative sites and up to 10
isolated, undeveloped parcels of not
more than 40 acres each, for
consideration equivalent to their market
value.
This manual is a new addition to the
2700 Special Uses Management series,
and sets forth policy, responsibilities,
and programmatic direction for leasing
Forest Service administrative sites. The
Forest Service has determined that this
manual formulates a standard, criterion,
or guideline applicable to a Forest
Service program and is therefore
publishing the proposed manual for
public comment under 36 CFR part 216.
The Forest Service is seeking public
comment on all content within the
proposed manual. Comment is also
invited on the sufficiency of the
proposed manual in meeting its stated
objectives, ways to enhance the utility

After the public comment period
closes, the Forest Service will consider
timely comments that are within the

notice of the final directive, including a
response to timely comments, will be

Invasive and Other Select Plant

Notice of intent to prepare an
environmental impact statement.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Forest Service, USDA,
will prepare an environmental impact
statement (EIS) to disclose the effects of
continued control of noxious, invasive,
and select native plant species through
the integration of manual, mechanical,
biological, ground herbicide, and aerial
herbicide control methods on the
Bighorn National Forest (BNF). Effects
analysis of these treatments will be
projected over the next 10 to 20 years.
The BNF is currently treating noxious
weeds and invasive plants under the
June 19, 1998 Decision Notice, Noxious
Weed Management. There is a need to
update this decision since it did not
include consideration of aerial
application of herbicides, the presence
of new invasive plant populations, or
herbicide treatments of select native
plant species to achieve desired
resource conditions.
DATES: Comments concerning the scope
of the analysis must be received by July
20, 2020. The draft EIS is expected
November 2020 and the final EIS is
expected June 2021.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to
Forest Supervisor, Bighorn National
Forest, 2013 Eastside Second Street,
Sheridan, Wyoming 82801. Comments
may also be sent via email to commentsbighorn@usda.gov, or via facsimile to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose and Need for Action
BNF ecosystems are increasingly
threatened by invasive plants. These
plants include several invasive annual
grasses including cheatgrass (Bromus
tectorum), medusahead (Taeniatherum
caput-medusae), and ventenata
(Ventenata dubia). Invasive species are
threatening or dominating desired
native plant communities, big game
winter ranges, sage-grouse habitat, soil
and watershed resources, recreation,
domestic livestock forage availability,
and aesthetic values on the BNF. A shift
from desired native vegetation to
invasive plants alters wildlife habitat,
decreases wildlife and livestock forage,
reduces species diversity, increases soil
erosion due to a decrease in surface
cover, alters the fire return interval, and
promotes undesirable monocultures.
In addition, there are select native
plant species, such as sagebrush and
larkspur, in need of management to
meet desired conditions for wildlife and
livestock forage. This analysis will
consider the use of various treatments to
achieve desired conditions for
sagebrush including a mix of early-,
mid-, and late-structural stages.
The purpose of this project is to
prevent and reduce the loss of native
plant communities associated with the
spread of invasive plant species, to meet
desired conditions for select native
plant species, and to reduce the impacts
from invasive plants on other resources.
This purpose would be achieved by
addressing the following needs:
• To meet existing law, regulation
and agency policy directing the Forest
Service to treat non-native and invasive
plants and update existing management
direction to include new invasive plant
species and new treatments.
• To make cooperative treatment and
control of invasive plant species more
consistent and effective across land
ownership boundaries.
• To help meet or maintain desired
resource conditions on the BNF. This
includes:
Æ Limiting the spread of invasive
plant species into areas with little or no
infestation and reducing fuel loading
and the resulting fire hazard and/or risk;
